I wear one most of the time, but sometimes I took transit somewhere and decide I want to make a detour and rent an ebike, and since I didn’t plan for that I don’t have my helmet with me. For me the trouble is dragging a helmet around clipped to my bag that may or may not be used and that I have to be careful to not drop too hard. I wouldn’t mind having to spend 30 seconds to inflate one if it’s got the convenience of deflating flat to throw in my backpack.
Edit: While I’m definitely the target market for this thing, £350 is a bit steep for this kind of convenience.

In your case, consider a folding helmet that doesn’t require inflating. Best of both worlds!
I had no idea there was such a thing, thanks for that.
