The founders of OVO USA came to Henninge because of our experience designing winter-sports equipment. A new company, OVO wanted to develop a ski helmet that would become their flagship product. They needed a design that met all of the important safety requirements for helmets while simultaneously achieving several additional objectives as well. The new design had to be well ventilated and yet keep skiers warm where other helmets failed to do so. It had to be as comfortable as an old hat and yet bound securely to the skull for maximum protection. And all this had to occur along the bell curve of large and small head sizes. In addition, the helmet had to look just right—after all, the helmet isn't merely protective gear, it's an overt statement of fashion, performance, and personal style.
