How to choose a bike helmet?

You'll need to choose your helmet based on your needs. Bike helmets have various features that can be useful for your specific use. For example, a mountain bike helmet offers superior protection at the back, while a road bike helmet provides superior ventilation for hot days. Check out our blog post to help you out. 

How to choose the right helmet size?

Simply measure the circumference of your head using a flexible measuring tape and compare it with the size chart of the chosen helmet. Each helmet has a specific size chart for its model. However, we recommend trying it on in person before making a purchase. The helmet should fit securely and snugly on your head without being too tight, to provide maximum safety.

How long does a helmet last?

The lifespan of a helmet varies between 4 to 5 years. Sweat and sunlight contribute to the aging of a helmet, causing it to dry out and lose its impact-absorbing properties. In the event of an impact, an aged helmet may break rather than effectively absorb the impact by deforming.
