Exclusive Interview with the Founder of the Brand (Gloria Hwang)
THE STORY OF THOUSAND, THE VINTAGE HELMET BRAND PAR EXCELLENCE:
The Thousand Company was created with the goal of saving 1000 lives. Thousand helmets are designed in California, recognized for their vintage style, they have become favorites of our urban cyclists. The company was started by Gloria, she was not used to wearing a helmet when riding her bike. However, following the death of one of these friends after a bicycle accident in New York City, she resolved to wear one. When she went to a bicycle helmet store, she quickly realized that the helmets had a look that she didn't like. So she decided to create the most stylish city helmet possible, so that cyclists would finally want to wear bicycle helmets.
She called on a designer friend, who helped her design the helmet from the Heritage collection. A helmet with a vintage look and various colors (Black Black, Carbon Black Blue Navy, Gold, for the most famous). Gloria wanted a stylish and well thought out range. It therefore integrated a vegan leather strap fastening system, a hole in the helmet to attach it with its anti-theft device as well as a size system so that each head is best protected. When the design was finished, she launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $20,000 to launch her project. Success was there, she raised more than $250,000 for her Heritage bike helmets.
In addition to being committed to the safety of all cyclists, Thousand is also a company that plays an important role for the planet. It donates 1% of its income to the "1% for the planet" association. In addition, the straps of its helmets from the Heritage collection are made of vegan leather and they offset 100% of their carbon emissions each year.
Thousand brand bicycle products consist of several key collections:
We have classified all the brand's products in our collection of vintage bicycle helmets that we invite you to discover.
These helmets meet many criteria that we will detail below:
SAFETY FIRST
The bicycle helmet is an important piece of safety equipment that cyclists should wear. It is designed to protect your head in the event of an accident. With multiple different makes and models, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
Thousand helmets are all CE 1078 certified. The Chapter collection guarantees you extra safety with MIPS technology. If you are used to riding at night it is important to be visible to other road users, Chapter helmets come with a red colored magnetic light to attach directly to the helmet or other mounts ( like your bike) with the multi-use adapter.
The position of the helmet on your head plays a major role. The Heritage helmet will be in the perfect position on your head thanks to the vegan leather magnetic buckle. You will be able to lock the position of the headset with the snap of a finger. Remember to choose your size carefully from the 3 sizes available: Small, Medium and Large.
Thousand helmets can be used on classic bikes, electric bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc.
THE CHOICE OF STYLE
Even if it is primarily a protective element, there is no question of skimping on the look. Max And the City offers you a little throwback to the 1950s with the Thousand helmets, much appreciated by hipsters for their round and simple elegance. The product is unisex. Many colors are available: Navy Blue, Carbon Black, Polished Titanium, Stealth Black Black or Supermoon White for classic tones and Rose Gold, Gold, Terra Cotta, Willowbrook Mint for more original colors. There is something for every taste !
For children and babies, Thousand has colors for all tastes: pink, green, blue or silver grey. In addition, reflective stickers are available to personalize your helmet. A sheet of stickers is supplied with the helmets of the Junior collection so that your child can unleash his creativity. This will make his helmet even more unique while protecting him, on a bike, scooter or skateboard.
LONG-TERM COMFORT
After safety and style, what we look for in a bicycle helmet is a certain comfort. Those who go to work on an electric or classic bike every day know that this is an essential criterion. A comfortable helmet model, it is a lightweight helmet. Thousand helmets are lightweight unisex bicycle helmets, the Heritage collection offers helmets weighing 460 grams against 380 for the Chapter product. In addition to being lightweight, Thousand helmets are available in 3 sizes: Small, Medium and Large. This product in stock and at the best price on this page.
For the Junior collection, which presents helmets with a featherweight of 350 grams. For optimal comfort, it is essential to have a helmet with good ventilation, Thousand helmets have 7 vents to keep you dry. In addition, an adjustment system designed to adapt your helmet perfectly to your head circumference, thanks to a wheel placed at the back. Product in stock and at the best price on this page.
FEATURES FOR EASY USE
An urban bike helmet must also be practical. And there, it is those who use it every day who have every interest in choosing a model of bicycle helmet specially designed to make the life of electric cyclists or not easier. Who has never pinched their fingers when locking the buckle? Thousand helmets have an optimized attachment system with this vegan leather magnetic buckle that can be attached with only one hand and thus avoid finger pinching, certainly not dramatic, but painful all the same.
You have understood that the purchase of a safe and stylish bicycle helmet is not to be taken lightly. And if we love the new Thousand range so much, it's also for this very practical little extra that it offers urban bike enthusiasts: the secret Pop Lock. There is indeed a hidden button behind the logo allowing you to unclip the logo and insert your chain or U-lock instead. This is the best way to secure your helmet with your bike and not have to cluttering up equipment for an appointment or his work day. Product in stock and at the best price on this page.
THE ACCESSORIES
Among the most important accessories, we will find lighting. Many helmets today offer red rear lighting. This is particularly safe because your head is always visible to motorists. Other models offer a mounting system for front lighting.
The visors are also part of the particularly relevant accessories when it rains or there is a lot of wind. Certain models of visor are with a smoked glass which protects against the sun's rays.
A RANGE FOR CHILDREN
The brand quickly worked on a range of helmets for children and babies with the Thousand Junior model which is available in several colors Black Black, Green, Blue Navy, Pink and Silver. This product comes with a sticker sheet, it is in stock and at the best price on this page.
Note that in France, the helmet is compulsory for children under 12, even when they are passengers. We invite you to read our article on the subject: Wearing a mandatory bicycle helmet in France: The ultimate guide for cyclists
