Man Who Made Helmet Cool. Part 2

Gear News, Newsfeed

In Part 1 we have tried to relay our fascination ( and appreciation) with what Olav Hagen, a retired Norwegian policeman, did and still is doing to the world of skiing: making it wear helmets. Because helmets are not just useful - they are cool. Actually, make it super cool. Klaebo-level cool! [caption id="attachment_8498" align="aligncenter" width="1152"] Hagen posing in front of Catlike promo poster with Klaebo. Do you need any - any - other reason to buy one?

Role of Individual In History Or How One Man Made Wearing Helmets Cool

Newsfeed

With his clean shaven head and bulging muscles, the gentleman gives a very solid appearance, often associated with say, long term football firm members in England. In reality a 49 year old native of Innfjorden in Romsal, Norway is one of those people who changed lives of many – and in a very good way. Meet Olav Hagen, a former policeman ( hence a “don't you f@#k with me” appearance) who pretty much singlehandedly brought about a tectonic change in the world of skiing: He made rollerskiing in helmet cool! Ask yourself, how many times have you, personally, stepped out on the trail with your two-wheels companions and a pair of sticks – but without a helmet? Even knowing full clear it's totally wrong? You should be blamed of course…
