HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CYCLING HELMET?

Choosing the right Cycling Helmet is critical to your safety while riding a bike. Choose the type of helmet that suits your cycling style and the type of cycling you prefer to practise. Road helmets are designed for road cycling. road helmets are optimised for speed, are lighter in weight, have a smooth profile and usually do not have a visor. mountain biking helmets offer more coverage on the back and sides of the head. MTB helmets include removable visors to protect your eyes from sun, mud and branches. The downhill helmets or freeride helmets offer maximum head coverage and additional protection in the chin and back of the neck area.

The fit is one of the most important factors to consider when selecting a helmet. The cycling helmet should fit comfortably on your head without being too tight or too loose. The helmet should fit over the top of your forehead and not tilt backwards or forwards. The helmet should wrap tightly around the head and the chin strap should fit securely without causing discomfort.

The Chinstrap should be securely fastened without causing discomfort.

The ventilation is an important aspect to consider when buying a cycling helmet. It is essential to maintain comfort during bike rides, especially in hot climates. Cycling helmets usually have ventilation openings that allow air to circulate. A helmet with more vents tends to offer better ventilation.

Some cycling helmets may incorporate safety technologies that add extra protection. The MIPS System consists of an additional layer inside the helmet that allows the outer shell of the helmet to slide relative to the inner layer that is in contact with the rider's head. This sliding layer is designed to absorb and redirect the rotational forces generated during an oblique impact. Instead of transferring these forces directly to the head, the MIPS system allows the outer shell to move slightly, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the brain.

It is of great importance to choose a cycling helmet that complies with the safety certification established by European (CE) standards or by the North American organisation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). These safety certifications ensure that the cycling helmet complies with safety standards.
