Catherine Bedford, wanted to find a bike helmet that would work for people like herself, who cycle/scoot about in everyday clothes. So with a career in design consultancy for brands including Nike, LVMH & Virgin she developed a helmet that would be a safer version of the cap she used to wear: lightweight, with a peak to keep the sun and rain at bay.

I wanted to find a bike helmet that would work for people like myself, who cycle about in everyday clothes. With a long career in design for luxury brands I decided to develop a helmet that would be a safer version of the cap I used to wear: lightweight, with a peak to keep the sun and rain at bay.

At Dashel, good design is more than looks and even functionality, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our helmets are all manufactured in the UK with a commitment to 100% green energy manufacturing and waste reduction.
