What did you observe?

• Users were more keen on experiencing the “feel” of the helmet more than exploring different functionalities at first.
• After they agreed to certain features of the comfort aspect of the design, they were interested to know more about different functions of the helmet. They were intrigued by the lock integration. They felt it may be useful but it was more of a response prompted by a satisfactory comfort experience rather than by being a USP in itself.
• Most of them didn’t care about there being too many straps or no straps. Although when given a choice they would prefer to use the knob at the back to tighten/loosen the fit

What feedback did your users share after the testing?

• The padding on existing helmets is enough, but the material can be improved and dri-fit material can be used to quickly absorb and dry off sweat.
• The long hair problem is genuine. They appreciated acknowledgment of the problem. They liked the idea of a more “open” backward part of the helmet and were VERY open to the idea of a flap to accommodate pony tails and buns
• Mixed reactions to the location to the lock and the type. Some didn’t really care of the type of the lock. They liked the idea of an auto-retractable cable as a lock integrated with the tightening knob. Although, some preferred the lock being integrated in the chassis of the helmet itself.
