Ribcap

I've just discover this great thing... a woolen hat with sewn-in lightweight structure impact.

Ribcap was presented for the first time in 2005 as a world wide innovation.

This product offers all the advantages of a normal cap or beanie and can at the same time protect against bumps...
Using structure's advanced lightweight technology, upon impact the structure material changes from a lightweight flexible material into a semi-rigid or fully rigid state depending on the size of the impact.
Fashionable and safe, these protective hats are better than wearing nothing and the next best thing to wearing a helmet.

They've been sponsorizing two paragliders; Chrigel Maurer and Thomas Theurillat on the X-Alps contest.

''-Give women the opportunity to communicate to the world; through words, photographs, videos, drawings or anything their views on freedom, ideas and dreams. The outcome of which we then present as an exhibition.
-Create a travelling, ever-growing presentation of the project in progress, which we set up in each of our destinations.
