I got a giro helmet with mips or w/e it was, damn it's so comfortable it doesn't even feel like it's an issue at all to wear plus it makes me feel more protected in other areas which is interesting.

I just pick the coolest looking one that matches the color scheme..

Living someplace warm, I always check on how the sweat is channeled on the brow. I had one helmet that had pads that converged in the middle of the brow channeling all the sweat down between my eyes. That helmet didn't last long. The one I have now has a suspension mechanism that channels it to either side of my face and makes it much more enjoyable.

What are your feelings on MIPS helmets? You are so right about trying on helmets in the shop rather than ordering online. I have learned that a universal sized helmet isn't unless you have a universal sized head. I have a large head so I need to have one that is either large or extra-large. I wear a hat size of 7⅝ to 7⅞ (US hat size). I like having a helmet with a visor. I find that It helps with avoiding sun in my eyes. I also attach rear-view mirrors to my visor. I use the ones that are made to attach to glasses bows. I use duct-tape to keep them from falling off.

I have the giro air atack, it looks good en fits really good. It's made fore pure aerodynamics but the ventilation is great as well!

Loved Dan's ostrich impression when testing the fit of the helmet.

Those height adjustable retention systems are the best for us guys with large protrusions. The Louis Garneau Course helmet has the most reach of any I tried, love how it fits. There's also a lot of variation on the straps, some fitting certain head types better than others. It takes a long time to find that special one.

By the way, thanks for all the videos! Great channel!

Another fitment test: make sure the helmet doesn't "spin" on your head after it is adjusted for comfort? I've found the manufacturers vary quite a bit when it comes to roundness e.g. Giro and Uvex seem to fit a wider/rounder head where Kask and Scott are narrower.

Thank you this was Very helpful. 👍🏽

You want a helmet that will stay in place as you ride and especially during a fall so paying more for a top of the line 3D retention system e.g. Catlike/LAS does improve safety. You may be able to find a less expensive helmet with an ideal fit but you are better off with something that can adjust to your head like your Kask did (which wasn't a cheap helmet).

Silly question but how often should a helmet be replaced? Thanks for any guidance you can give.

When Dan showed how to test the fit of a helmet, he look I like a monty python routine. Good information, thanks.

Nice shoes Dan. What are they?

I now know two people who riding road bikes had accidents and fell face first, hitting their face where the helmet does not cover. Both had severe injuries and one even a titanium place put in place via surgery. What would you say about getting a downhill helmet for road cycling? I mostly ride in the city, about 15km a day (cars, potholes, stupid drivers: high risk of accident). I'm talking about something like the MET Parachute, full face coverage downhill helmet weighing only about 700 grams.

Look at their video of things not to wear while cycling I think, it's a big no no for them. Nevertheless it's your face you are protecting, so who cares?

Do you recommend any brands?

Thanks god bless

I've had a way experience with the Giro Foray for road riding and the Bell Super2 for mountain biking. Check out my reviews and let me know what you think.

Great video many thanks. Although it didn't answer my specific question it does give me some ideas how to proceed. My basic dilemma is I have an adopted daughter from the Congo. Like me she loves to ride bikes, unlike me she has a lot of hair, and unfortunatley does not like to wear a helmet (but she does) primarily because of her hair. Don't see many black cyclist and see even less black female cyclist. How do they find a helmet that is adjustable enough to cope with the hair and still easy to get on, get off, and is comfortable. Would like to hear anyone's suggestions. Thanks!

why are the majority of bike helmets unprotected around the face and sides? wouldnt a full face helmet like the downhill/motocross style be more advisable? are bike helmets sufficient in protection?

Hi, I have a problem! A BIG head.... Using your technique with the tape my head circumference comes in at 64cm. I am a road rider with a very nice bike and kit but I am finding it difficult to find a nice helmet (I have a cheap Giro one at the moment) in my size. Any help would be much appreciated....

Giro and Bontrager are the best helmets out there!

I have two helmets. Giro Hex and Giro Roc Loc. My Roc is so comfortable I can't feel it when I wear it!

What do you think about the uvex EDAero?

if you can fit your hand under the helmet after you put it on, is that any good?

Okay, so the way my head is shaped the helmet slides to one side. It's nothing major, but it's so irritating to come back from a ride and notice that you look like Alexander Kristoff after crossing the line. Can I do something about it? Is it okay to cut on the inside of the helmet to get it to fit me better? I tried many helmets. Some are tilted less, but on my aero helmet is very noticeable

Anyone know anything about where to get custom decals or art on helmets? Websites, Companies, people?

My team use kask and they have a great crash replacement system 50% offb

Can you just use a ski helmet or are they less safe?

Any rough guide on when to replace if its not had an impact ? - I noticed my Rudy project was made January 2001 - do they age ? (I'm sure it was once said they had a life span)

What are the wide helmets for?

shopping for my first bike helmet, just so I'll be able to ride with my friend's kid edit - bought that helmet... used some tips from this video and a couple from the comments to look less like an idiot in the process. 50 years old, been riding since I was a kid and haven't landed on my head yet. So in one way it might be more likely to happen. Oh well, there's enough helmets out there, at least I won't look like the 'special' guy...

i always find most look bulky as i have a small head for an adult. are there any good ones that look slimmer ? flatter. ? price i'm not fussy

How do we know the safety rating sticker is genuine. Electrical items use a similar system but it means nothing. Items marked with the correct safety rating have turned out to be very dangerous fakes. Is this an issue in the bicycle helmet industry?

I once got spun by a car that suddenly turned left and the helmet hit the ground - what hurt my head was the polystyrene cracking inside and poking into my skull - quite irritating tho the helmet was a few yrs old - so replace them as repeated sweatings weaken the black stuff...

Are there helmets measured by two dimensions: width and length? I was at a bike shop and couldn't find a helmet, which really fits. Either it's too narrow, or too long... or it does not fit with my glasses on. Do helmet proportions differ depending on country they are sold in?

The adjustments at the back should adjust enough to fit for the length of your head.

Hi! I wanted to ask if anyone knows about using a child's helmet. So, today I went to a local bike shop(not in the UK ATM) to buy a helmet. They measured my head and considering my size(52cm) they gave me a bell helmet, which fitted kinda ok on my head. I bought it, then realised it was a kid's helmet. Do you think I shall return it? Cause I did a bit research online and some ppl say that even if it fits well on an adult's head, it still isn't safe. Could someone advise, please? Thanks in advance!

So, does anyone think that perhaps GCN might have some connection with KASK at all??

Ok some good advice. But are there any helmets for people with a long narrow headshape? Almost all of the helmets look really ugly on my head.

Im ride a mtb but, im always riding it on a road, so is road bike helmet much better to buy?

I understand the point of a helmet and have begun wearing one myself. That said, my shaved head was far more aero and comfortable by itself.

Spiuk are the best fitting helmet I've ever had. Kask an other helmets don't even come close.

How low a helmet last ?

I've got two things to ask about: 1. What's with those road helmets with circular vents like Dan used to use in the cervelo test team? Is it just another design because it looks less aero than a normal helmet with straight vents. 2. If less vents mean aero, correct me if I'm wrong but should skate helmets and those big old school road helmets with two or three vents be technically aero too? Thanks :)

+Ramir Angeles aerodynamics are about refinement. Because skate helmets and old road helmets had very little if any thought put towards aerodynamics they aren't likely to be very aerodynamic. They would be even less aerodynamic if you drilled more holes in them but I suspect that basically any modern road helmet is better than either.

How do you choose if you are in between size, for example you have a 58 cm size. Most of the brands are from 54 to 58cm and 58 cm to 62cm.
