Gold award to YAKKAY
YAKKAY is awarded with the Gold award in the Focus Open Design 2009 competition in Stuttgart.
The award’s excellent reputation is reflected in the very high number of participants: 438 entries were received. Products were submitted from Europe, Asia and the United States.
The Judges panel statement:
A completely new approach. This is the first bicycle helmet you can really wear. It’s about fashion, being well-dressed, and humour. People who don’t want to cycle through town in cycling shorts and sporty helmets, but who want to look fashionable, at last have a chance to wear a bicycle helmet as well. It has already resulted in a lot more people wearing helmets in the countries where it has been introduced. So it has already proved that it is an important safety factor.

Så er størrelse small ankommet
Den ventede small hjelm (53-55 cm) er i handlen fra midt oktober, og vi kan derfor glæde de mange kunder, der indtil nu har måttet undvære en YAKKAY hjelm.
Small dækker de mindre hoveder både hvad angår børn (fra ca. 6 år) og voksne.

YAKKAY wins international design award
PRESS RELEASE
Danish bicycle helmet wins international design award
The recently established Danish bicycle helmet manufacturer YAKKAY has received the international IF Design Award.
The award, which is given once every year in Germany and is judged by an international jury of 28 persons, is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the world.
"We're very proud of this award", says Michael Eide, CEO of the company, which produces fashionable bicycle helmets with covering that makes them look like caps or sunhats.
YAKKAY's helmets, which are created by a group of Denmark’s most acknowledged industrial designers, first caught international attention earlier this year when the rumour of their new trendy helmet spread like wildfire over the internet. "Within 24 hours we had 15.000 hits on our web site www.YAKKAY.com and an overwhelming amount of offers for international distribution", says Michael Eide.
Today, the company exports to a number of European countries and the demand is increasing rapidly.
"We have undoubtedly hit the right spot", he says. With the new design award in the can, it seems he might be right.

Keep warm but stay cool
Hvorfor gå på kompromis med klædeligheden for at holde varmen? YAKKAY har udviklet nogle ørevarmere, så det nu er muligt at holde varmen og stadig bevare stilen. De bløde ørevarmere er speciel designede til at passe YAKKAY hjelmen og fastholder derfor det stilsikre YAKKAY look.
