Helm-A-Cap was founded in the 2017-18 school year in Manhattan Beach, CA, by our 12-year-old CEO Em Taner as his project at the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA). Em was a sixth-grader by the time and felt the need to attach a visor to his helmet as he rode his bicycle or scooter to and from school every day in sunny California. He initially wore a baseball cap underneath his helmet, but pretty soon he discovered that he can use a velcro strip to attach a visor to the front of his helmet, solving the problem of wearing two hats at a time, so to speak.
The idea was so innovative and attracted a lot of attention from his mentors, hence Em decided to take the idea one step further by adding various other attachments to the product range. The initial product range of visors and decorative strips was launched in the Summer of 2018. Helm-A-Cap products are not only functional but also stylish and they encourage a greater degree of helmet use by making the helmets, thus the riders, look very cool.
We hope that you enjoy your Helm-A-Cap product and please
remember to ALWAYS WEAR YOUR HELMET!
