Born from science
Infl8 is an ingredient brand founded in 2021 by 3 engineers, Timothée, Hugo & Thomas.
Together, they invented Infl8 technology - combining properties of air and textiles to design highly protective and durable products.

Origin story - flashback to 2017
At the beginning, these three engineers met in 2017 with a lofty goal - build an inflatable helmet to slip in the pocket of every cyclist, one that would allow them to protect themselves anywhere, anytime.
“A helmet made out of air”
Nobody believed in the idea at first. But after many years of perseverance, the team succeeded in bringing an EU-certified, ultra-compact, ultra-protective helmet to the world - the Bumpair helmet.
The Bumpair helmet is the world's safest cycling helmet protection technology. Seriously - check out the tests that prove it:

2021 - Birth of Infl8 technology
During all this time spent iterating the design of the Bumpair helmet, the team built a real expertise - they developed a superpower - being able to shape the solid air as they wish.
The three engineers also found that they were tackling a huge problem: industry and its waste.
For example, a helmet that suffers an impact becomes waste because it is no longer reusable.
Or…e-commerce packaging that is not reusable and is thrown away after one use. So, the team asked…

“What if we could reduce this waste with air?”
Infl8 technology was born: Leveraging air as an alternative to traditional protective materials such as polystyrene, cardboard or wood, which have too limited a lifespan.
