Today we were talking about
the thousand chapter helmet and these gloves, the little five.
Woooh just came back from a bike ride.
Let's just pretend it's the same day for continuity purposes.
So let's get right into this beautiful helmet right here.
We have the thousand chapter helmet, the little five gloves, as I mentioned.
Let me just take my jacket off and make myself a little bit
more at home in my home.
I will put that up later. OK, here we go.
So we're jumping into the helmet.
Let me just tell you
very quickly, about Thousand The company started with the founder, Gloria.
They had a goal of saving a thousand lives by making helmets
that people actually want to wear nice helmets.
It is a nice looking helmet.
And I get complimented on all the time heritage helmet that I reviewed
previously or ecofriendly there, one percent for the planet.
They offset 110 % of their carbon emission annually.
They're strong on diversity for hiring within their staff.
They also will replace your helmet if you end up breaking your helmet
and it saves you, they will replace your helmet.
That's how much they stand by. Really, truly wanting to save lives.
That is the mission, I believe, of the company.
This is their second model.
Their first model was the Thousand Heritage helmet,
which I did a review on my channel as well.
I would just like to preface this with letting you know that I actually spoke to
Thousand and asked them if they could send me a gear to review
because I really like their products.
I bought the heritage helmet on my own and then reviewed it.
They noticed me and and then we chatted a bit.
I'd like to think we're friends, but probably not.
And then here we are, because I wanted to check out their other home.
And I was a little bit curious about it.
And I'm here to talk about it with you.
I'll also be doing a comparison between the two helmets.
Don't you worry if you're not sure about which helmet to get, I will help you.
I will help you the best that I can.
If it comes in, three colors comes in the racer
black, the club Navy and the super moon white, all really cute colors.
They all come with different visors.
This helmet retails for 135 USD, the visors on their own retail for 17 USD.
You do get a visor that comes with it.
The matte black comes the matte black visor, but I asked them
if they could send me another one because I'm curious. And they did.
So I got this little tortoise shell visor.
There's four different colored visors: the neon, rose gold
and this (tortoise shell) and the matte black.
And inside of it, there's actually the hardware.
It's a little bit hard to spot.
But in the back it says hardware.
You have a few different options
for your screws so you can make it match with your helmet or not.
I have that little visor right there that
I will stick on at some point.
So do do do, do, do.
This comes in 3 different sizes, just like the other.
Also, link this product in this product down below.
Everything in the description. Don't worry. I got you.
I have the small because I have a child's head. It comes in different sizes.
You could look at that for yourself. Figure out your head sizes.
If you're unsure, if you're in between sizes, contact them.
I'm sure they'll be glad to help you out.
Keep in mind that there is a slightly different head shapes like regular,
an oval and stuff like that.
So you might want to just just.
Yeah, just contact them if you're unsure.
But even though there are three different
sizes, there is, of course, the little dial in the back.
So you can get a nice tight fit. There's a range for each one.
In the case of the small, it's fifty four to fifty seven centimeters.
And I'm a fifty five centimeter hat size.
I know that because of my fedoras, I have to know my hat size.
So I have to tighten it generally a little bit. It's very easy.
Just a simple dial like this in terms of safety.
There's certifications that I'll be honest, I don't really understand.
I just trust that it's the right stuff.
But I'll go through it anyway. CSPC
and CEEN1078 safety certified.
I'm reading off my paper because I, I
don't really know what that means.
But there is something special with this helmet
that I do know, and it's called MIPS.
And you'll see this little bright thing in the inside.
If you've ever done any helmet research, snowboarding, helmets, any type of helmet,
bike, skateboard helmet, you'll notice this popping up more more
MIPS stands for multidirectional impact protection system.
And essentially it's this extra layer which looks like absolutely nothing
that can twist a bit.
It's a low friction layer that can absorb 10 to 15 millimeters
of rotational force, which will help protect the brain
so that your brain is not taking that impact.
And this is actually like kind of a shock absorbers
of a absorbtion, if you will, absorption. Oh, my God.
Absorption. Absorption.
Moving on. I can't today. This is not happening.
You'll have, of course, all the standard stuff.
You'll have removable padding here.
I found it adequate.
You have a lot of vents on this.
This looks a lot more like a bike helmet compared to their other one.
This has eight vents.
If you are a sweaty head person,
well, you're covered and you got a lot of ventilation in here.
I never had a sweat. He had issues slightly lighter than the other one.
The nice matte black.
You have the same thing as the other helmet, one inch diameter
magnetic pop lock.
So you can secure U lock in there
or your chain, whatever fits in there, and then lock. Up with your bike.
I never used to use that, but now I use it all the time
and it is so useful to have that and not have to drag your helmet or I park
my bike indoors overnight, but when I'm doing grocery runs, I'm in and out.
And it's so convenient.
Instead of having it dangling everywhere and bothering,
people are leaving it on my head. Just simple nylon straps.
But it does have these interesting little buckles that allow you
to accumulate and tidy up your excess strap.
I just left it at the default.
I don't really have to play around with that.
But I did notice that they have that, which is a nice little detail.
They also have strap organizers like on their other helmet
to keep everything nice and tidy.
You have the magnetic Fidlock as well, so you can do everything
one handed, which is super, super awesome.
Stick it on your head. You don't need to fiddle for it.
You don't need to fiddle for the Fidlock because the Fidlock will fiddle for you.
Is that why it's called FidLock?
I love that feature.
There's also 1 year warranty on it, free US shipping & return.
And I will tell you, I've dealt
with customer service as a customer for my other helmet, because I noted
and I mentioned this in my review, there was a slight whistling sound.
They told me that it was rectified with future models.
In my case, it wasn't, because the new one still did the whistling sound,
but they actually sent me a brand new helmet.
Just sent me a brand new helmet.
That's excellent, top notch customer service
and then other things that comes with it comes with this beautiful velvet
navy blue thousand bag to protect your helmet, I guess,
if you're storing it in the winter or well
for people that have winter like me.
What's really special with his helmet is it also comes with this magnetic light
and rechargeable has a 1 hour run time if you have it on solid mode.
And to our runtime, if you have it on flash mode,
those are the two modes that you have.
It's bright. When I put it on my helmet, it blinded me for hot seconds.
So just be aware when you do use it, it will be very bright.
It came charged right out of the box.
Here is what's super dope about this.
Are you ready? I'm warning you, you might get blinded. It's magnetic.
So you can actually pop it on the back of your helmet and when you do.
It automatically turns on and wow, it's bright.
I think that's cool when you remove it.
It doesn't just stop, though.
You have to long press, the power button to turn it off.
You want to turn it on. You would long press the power button as well.
There you go. And then off, it's a little bit difficult to press,
I find the long pressing,
the specifications that it's 40 Lumines when constant and 50 lumens when flashing.
That's weird, their website, that 30 lumens I'm so sure it's
water dust resistant and it has a temperature range of zero
to 40 degrees Celsius, which is 32 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.
So you can still take it in pretty cold weather.
So once again, magnets. I love magnets. They have magnets everywhere.
And I just like that.
It just. Oh, that's excellent design considerations.
Coming from a design background, this is brilliant.
It's the little things like this that make your life so much easier
and just less friction points to just get on
with your day and automate things and you don't have to think about.
So the light will automatically turn on to the last mode
when it's attached to the helmet.
This is just to me is.
Oh, that is amazing.
And it also comes unfortunately doesn't like turn off when you remove it.
But I mean, there's probably reasons
for it, like functional reasons as to why you wouldn't want to.
I can't think of every use case, but I'm sure that they have.
They also give you this angled already like this.
So then you would probably have it like that
so that it's straight and you would have this around your seach post.
So you have two options.
It's amazing because the light is so easily removable, thanks to the magnets,
you could take your light with you, which would prevent theft.
And it is rechargeable with a USB micro USB that it comes with.
That's something I'm
a little bit disappointed with, that they didn't go with the USB C,
because that's kind of the direction that we're all going in now with USB C.
Let's now talk about these babies.
These are one of four different gloves that they carry.
The price range goes from 23 to 38.
This is the 23 dollar one called the little 5.
It has crocheted cotton, a Velcro on it.
It's a very retro looking one.
Got padded vegan suede.
It's not too padded, but it's just padded enough anyway.
I have really nice bar tapes around my bike, so padding is not
usually an issue, but this just adds a little bit of an extra comfort
to when you're going on longer rides or bumpy road.
All the products so far is vegan.
It's very comfortable. It's very high quality. It looks great.
I've used it a few times and it feels just really good to grip onto your bike.
I find it looks pretty badass.
So one thing that I will note, though, and this is not just for Thousand
in particular, this is pretty much any glove, I would say that has a strap,
is that if your hands are on the small side like mine,
this little strap can get in the way. Sometimes when you're
putting your backpack on or whatever can kind of grab on.
It comes in 3 different sizes.
The Fit Guide is also on their websites.
Very easy to follow in terms of measurement.
I have the small because to match my tiny child's head, I have tiny child hands.
That's everything.
When it comes to the Thousand helmet and the gloves.
Let me know down below if you're planning on getting any of these
and what combinations you like, there's so many combinations that you can get.
Well, there's the four different gloves
and then there's the three different helmets
and then there's the four different visors.
There's so much choice. You can customize everything.
This is featured, jam packed.
I, like people have different options now for different budgets
and different features.
But I will get into a comparison in a separate video.
I will leave you with that for now,
like comment, share, subscribe, ask me any questions.
But if you have any more precise questions,
I would suggest that you ask a Thousand directly.
They will be better equipped to answer it than me and.
I'll see you in the next video. Bye bye.
