thousand helmets – Protection you'll actually want to wear

thousand bike helmets are stylish, comfortable, and built with purpose. Founder Gloria Hwang launched the brand on Kickstarter in 2015 with a simple goal: create a bike helmet people would actually choose to wear, inspired by the loss of a friend in a cycling accident. That personal story became the foundation of a brand defined by clean design and thoughtful details, from the patented PopLock to vegan leather straps. Discover the thousand collection at BIKE24, from the classic Heritage 2.0 to helmets for young riders.

The name says it all: thousand was founded with a mission to save 1,000 lives by creating helmets people actually want to wear. In 2024, the brand reached that milestone through its Accident Replacement Policy – and the mission continues. As a Public Benefit Corporation, thousand is committed to values that go beyond business success, including diversity, sustainability, community, and integrity. Since 2020, thousand has been climate positive by offsetting 110% of its carbon emissions. Helmets that look good – and do good.

What sets thousand apart:

• Vintage-inspired design – Timeless and stylish
• Patented PopLock – Secure your helmet to your bike with your U-lock or chain lock, so there's no need to carry it with you.
• Climate positive since 2020 – Offsetting 110% of its carbon emissions, with vegan leather straps on select models.
• Inclusive fit system – Designed to comfortably fit a wide range of head shapes and sizes.

thousand designs helmet technology for everyday riding – not the racetrack. That philosophy is reflected in three signature features found across the collection

Hidden behind the logo on the back of the thousand bicycle helmet is a clever detail: the patented PopLock channel. Thread your U-lock or chain lock through it to secure your helmet to your bike while you grab a coffee. No carrying it around. No forgetting it. No worrying about theft.

The MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet. In angled impacts – the kind commonly seen in real-world crashes – it allows the helmet to move slightly relative to the head, helping reduce rotational forces that may otherwise be transferred to the brain. The system is designed to help reduce rotational motion during certain angled impacts.

A rear adjustment dial lets you fine-tune the fit with one hand – even while you're on the go. thousand's fit system is also designed to accommodate a wide range of head shapes. The Heritage 2.0, for example, was developed using a hybrid head shape model to provide a comfortable fit for both European and Asian head shapes.
