Never thought about it before.
When I use bikeshare, I don't wear a helmet.
Shorter, slower rides in central areas with good bicycle facilities.
Slower riding, slower road traffic, no tricks or stunts.
Low risk activity for me.

Might be better than nothing, might not, but most definitely not equal to a traditional helmet. No crash test data provided to back up the claims. For now, it appears to be false advertising and misleading claims.

Also, you can link to the product here. EcoHelmet
