Limar Velov bike helmet features removable ventilation panels

By Ben Coxworth October 30, 2014

The Velov's four panels can be put on or taken off, depending on how cold it is outside

Although fair-weather cyclists may consistently appreciate the ventilation openings in most bike helmets, riders who brave the cold aren't always so keen on them. One solution is to cover those holes using a shower cap-like helmet cover, but Italy's Limar offers an alternative. Its Velov helmet has air flow-blocking panels that can be installed or removed as needed.

The helmet utilizes four panels – one on either side, one on top and one on the back. As can be seen in the video at the bottom of the page, they can all be left installed on cold days (or rainy ones), the two side panels can be removed for limited ventilation when it's a little less frigid, and they can all be taken off on warm days.

The helmet weighs 300 grams (10.6 oz) with all the plates on, and is priced at US$105
Users are able to remove and install the panels by hand, as they reportedly just "click" into place.

The Velov was first introduced last year, although it recently became more widely available in markets such as North America. It weighs 300 grams (10.6 oz) with all the plates on, and is priced at US$105.

The Breaker adds a chain tool to cycling multitool/tire lever

The Breaker, with its bits and pouch

Last year we heard about the Nutter, a stainless steel device that combines a multi-bit cycling multitool with a tire lever. Since then, inventor Mark Windsor decided to take that design and make it even more useful. The result is the Breaker, which is essentially a Nutter with an added chain-break tool.

Like the Nutter, the Breaker features a receptacle that can receive an included selection of interchangeable bits. These consist of five sizes of hex tools, a Philips head screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, a T25 torx bit, and a magnetic tool bit extender.

Both devices also have a built-in spoke wrench, bottle opener and nylon-capped tire lever, and are stowed in a bike-mountable pouch made from leather and recycled inner tubes.

The Breaker's chain tool
The Breaker adds a chain tool to the mix, allowing users to remove and replace broken or worn-out chains. It uses the existing tool bit extender as its handle, and features a replaceable hardened stainless steel pin. The chain tool does take the place of the Nutter's box wrench, although an optional 8-piece socket set should provide similar functionality.

Windsor and his team are currently raising production funds for the Breaker, on Kickstarter. If they're successful, a pledge of US$55 will get you a basic Breaker, and $75 will get you one with the socket set thrown in.

The whole multitool weighs 100 g (3.5 oz), not including the pouch or sockets. You can see it in use, in the following pitch video.
