SILO HELMET _ GIRO SPORT DESIGN

At Interbike (Las Vegas) last week,  Giro Sport Design unveiled a new environmentally conscious urban helmet: SILO, a plant based revolution in helmets. 

In late 2014 I’ve started a fruitful collaboration with Giro Sport Design to support its product design team on the environmental aspects related to the design of a new helmet. Together with LCE.Srl I performed a Life Cycle Assessment to establish a solid base on which to start the eco-design process. Thanks to this scrupulous approach on sustainability the design process has generated Silo, a revolution in helmet construction. Silo features an exclusive E-PLA liner that has a lower environmental burden than traditional expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, yet it performs like EPS when managing impact energy.
