What to look for in a helmet
01
Full-face protection
Crash stats don’t lie: 35% of impacts hit the chin. Only full face helmets protect your whole head - brain, face, jaw and all. Open face helmets leave you exposed. Go for a snug fit where the interior helmet pads press firmly but comfortably on your cheeks. That’s how you know it’s doing its job.
02
Clear visibility
A good visor won’t block your view, it should feel like it’s not even there. Visors need to meet specific safety standards, just like the helmet itself. Clear lenses work best day and night. Tinted might look cool, but clear lenses are the most versatile.
03
Vents that work for you
Ventilation keeps your head cooler and your ride more comfortable. Look for a helmet that provides good ventilation and can be adjusted to suit the weather. Yes, airflow can mean more wind, but earplugs are a great solution to protect your hearing and limit environmental noise.
04
Make yourself seen
Light coloured helmets stand out in traffic while a dark coloured helmet blends into the background. White, hi-vis, and two-tone lids make it easier for others to see you, especially at dawn or dusk. Visibility isn’t a fashion statement, it’s a survival tactic.
