Well everybody knows how important bicycle helmets are not just because it looks cool on you but also because it keeps you safe while riding, so obviously it becomes very important to choose the right helmet according to your riding needs and demands.

First and foremost you have to make a few considerations before buying a helmet, Let’s look at them.

Price

The first consideration for most people is price.

Well let’s clear one myth here that spending less on a helmet doesn’t mean that there is going to be a safety issue and also spending more on a helmet doesn’t mean that it would be safer than the affordable one.

Then what’s the actual difference between these two? Well, to be honest, an expensive helmet might be lighter and also an expensive helmet might have more ventilation than the affordable one.

If you buy an expensive helmet you might get more aerodynamic geometry. Thus price and safety are very different things simply you can go for both types of helmets depending on the budget and usage you are looking for.

Comfort and fit

Comfort and fit are also one of the most important considerations so I would suggest that you should always aim to try on the helmet for the perfect size, you can also measure your head size through normal measuring tapes.

Adjustable dial

Before buying a helmet you should always check whether the helmet has an adjustable dial system or not because this is very important in terms of fit and stability, This is the only system which will keep your helmet stable on your head, after fixing the adjust dial, your helmet shouldn’t be too tight on your head.

Buy the one which is more comfortable and specific and you must also ensure that the helmet is not giving extra pressure to certain points on your head.

What type of Rider are you?

Well, now you have to ask this question to yourself, what type of Rider are you? Each cycling discipline has its own kind of helmet. You must also ensure what sort of biking you do.

Leisure Or Hybrid bike Helmet.

If you have a hybrid bike or you are planning to commute with it then you can get yourself a more reflective, more visible and properly ventilated helmet for your daily commute, because most of the commuters ride in the evening as well, so from a point of view of safety, it becomes a priority to be visible and highlight yourself while riding.

Mountain bike Helmet.

Helmets for mountain bikes are very similar to any other helmet But In terms of built quality but there is a slight difference that makes them stand out from other helmets.

A mountain bike helmet has full coverage on your head so eventually it will keep you safe in the woods. A wiser is also attached to a mountain bike helmet that prevents mud and dirt.

Road Bike Helmet

A Roadbike is made for those who are demanding with their pace, so when it comes to pace you need something lighter and more aerodynamic.

A road bike helmet is lighter and more aerodynamic, here also you will get enough ventilation to prevent perspiration.

Kids Bikes Helmet.

Kids’ helmets are shorter and more compact they also comprise the same features as the adult ones: ventilation, Adjust-dial, and lightweight.

Kids’ helmets are suited for children under the age of ten, An adult helmet will be needed.

NOTE:- Parents must ensure that they are not buying loose helmets for their kids, A helmet must be stable and precise on the kid’s head, if it’s not then do not buy it.
