# 2024 Tailwind |
|
Tailwind is an innovative helmet that reduces internal temperatures by up to 3°C and lowers the risk of heat-related illnesses by 40%. Using natural airflow, it creates a cooling vortex where air enters through the front, mixes with internal heat, and exits at the back, cooling the head, neck, and back. Inspired by camels' cooling systems, the design incorporates breathable materials for effective heat transfer and moisture absorption, providing essential protection for outdoor workers in extreme heat conditions
