As a long time cyclist, I was never a fan of wearing a bicycle helmet. I honestly thought they were too bulky, too “sci-fi”, too hard to lug around. But after losing a friend to a fatal bike accident, I knew I needed to change. Wanting to give others an option to change as well, I emptied my savings account and convinced my friends to help me build Thousand.
There is so much more in these pages that I hope you’ll discover about our mission, our impact, and our design. But for now, let me say— I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for joining us on this ride.

We started from the beginning with a human-centered design process, crafting a vintage moto-inspired lid that you’d actually want to wear.
From day one, we set out to keep people safe and curb the impact of bike related accidents. Our lids are fully certified and meticulously crafted to do just that.
From our Carbon Offset Program to our partnership with 1% For The Planet, Thousand is committed to making quality gear without causing unnecessary harm to our planet.
