Our Story
It wasn’t too long ago that I stepped onto my snowboard on the slopes. After learning some fundamental drills, I was immersed in the joy of speed and mastering new tricks, while my wife stayed behind on the slope.
Soon, my wife lost interest in the sport, and I realized that true joy isn’t just about speed and extreme tricks; it’s also about sharing happiness with family and friends.
We started to add more fun into the sport by decorating ourselves with crochet hats worn over our snow helmets. We traveled around the West Coast, visiting various ski resorts and spreading joy along the way.
We received plenty of love and compliments on the slopes, and we were even recognized by people we had met at other ski resorts. Many were interested in our ski helmet hats but didn’t know how to get them.
We tested all kinds of hats on ski helmets; unfortunately, almost all of them failed the test. The reason was obvious: they were designed for heads, not helmets. Then, some ski helmet covers came to our attention, claiming to be designed specifically for ski helmets. We bought nearly every type of these products and tested them. Most were far from perfect: some had poor quality, some were not compatible with all helmet sizes, and others didn’t secure properly. There were numerous issues with the products, prompting me to take matters into my own hands and design my own.
I purchased ski helmets in various sizes from most major brands to ensure the best compatibility and took my prototype to factories for manufacturing.
This was not easy.
As a software engineer, I had no idea how manufacturing worked. It took a lot of time to learn everything, and I eventually quit my job to dedicate myself fully to the clothing market, hat factories, and plush toy manufacturers to create the best product.
To ensure quality, I spent considerable time in factories overseeing every detail of the production process. Finally, the samples looked good, and I gained confidence in the product.
