Jeffrey Klein

Airnoggin was founded in 2015 when Jeff Klein witnessed his son pedal through Manhattan traffic on a Citibike without a helmet. Klein expressed concerns about safety and his son explained that he had nowhere to store his klunky, hard-shell helmet when he arrived at his destination!

Klein, at that moment, realized he had a breakthrough idea. An inflatable, foldable, portable and easily stow-able safety helmet was the solution that would protect his son. and the many other riders like him. And so the journey of Airnoggin began. After raising capital to fund R&D costs. Klein began searching the world to find the right interior impact pad material that would pass the rigorous Consumer Product Safety Commission's helmet tests.

After discovering a profoundly innovative foam technology. Klein struck gold. There it was - a uniquely soft material that proved to be perfect for Aimoggin. The technology was shaped into a patented helmet shape, and Aimoggin was born. Setting the stage for a brand that will revolutionize the future of self-safety. Klein could now trust his son would never again have to risk his life while cruising around the streets of New York City.

In 2022. Aimoggin received patents in the U.S.. the People's Republic of China, Canada and the EU. Its success has been recognized by the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, the globally recognised gold standard for helmet safety testing.
