Glasses wearers on a bike know the problem: the light conditions change, the sunglasses have to come off for a moment – and then what? In the jacket pocket, you risk scratches. Placed on the handlebars, they don't sit securely. The glasses garage solves this problem right on the helmet: a rubberised holder that keeps your glasses firmly in place without damaging them.
The glasses garage is a holder made of soft rubber material integrated into the helmet. It provides a non-slip resting point for glasses and sunglasses, holds them securely even on bumpy ground, and protects the lenses from direct contact with hard surfaces.
The decisive detail is the rubber: soft enough to prevent scratches, grippy enough that your glasses stay put through vibrations or cobblestones.
The rubberized eyewear garage is built into the Reach DT-1, Reach DT-1 Bestzeit and Reach AR-1.
The Reach is KED's helmet for everyone who spends a lot of time on the move – on asphalt, on gravel, and in everyday life. For exactly this user profile, the eyewear garage is a sensible detail: it solves a concrete problem without making the helmet more complicated. Together with RIB-CAGE, Mips®, and the K-FIT adjustment system, it is part of an overall concept that makes the Reach one of the most functional helmets in the KED range.
One turn of the dial and the helmet sits. The fine adjustment works to the millimetre, one-handed, even while you ride.
The magnetic buckle closes with a click and opens with a single movement. It works one-handed and with gloves on.
The outer shell and the EPS fuse into one unit inside the mould. The result is light, seamless and dimensionally stable.
Reinforcing ribs in the EPS inner shell carry the load where the vents take material away. Plenty of airflow, no loss of stability.
The core of every helmet. The foamed inner shell absorbs the energy of an impact and spreads it over a large area.
