The Hövding promises superior protection in a crash without the need to actually put anything on your head. According to the inventors, the Hövding offers the world´s best shock absorption capacity and consists of two parts, a collar and a cover. The collar encloses the airbag system that protects the head and is made of black, waterproof, dirt-repellent functional fabric that rests comfortably around your neck. It is easy to put on, with a centre front zip.
