Description

Many years ago, I was taken on a tour of a facility that manufactures BMW Helmets, hosted by Udo Wattendorf, part of the helmet development team at BMW. Throughout the day Udo showed us how BMW helmets are designed, tested, and built. This was easily one of the most fascinating professional experiences I’ve ever had, not the least of which due to the knowledge and enthusiasm radiated by Udo.

Today, Udo remains a key developer of helmets at BMW. And just like so many years ago, he is incredibly knowledgeable, well spoken and enthusiastic. My producer Louise Powers and I sat down with Udo in Munich to discuss helmet design, the materials used, and the importance of the people that bring concepts to reality.
