    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.

    Always take your glasses to the fit session. Hate to buy a helmet to find out you can not wear your glasses.

      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.

    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.

  • @charlietuba
    @charlietuba 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

    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.

  • @massspike
    @massspike 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    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).

    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.

    • @OlafThorbjorn

    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...

    @holirumicsfriend 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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!

    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

    @RixterNow 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    What is the lifespan of a helmet? I have never seen test results that demonstrates that an old lid is less safe or structurally sound than a new helmet. Does anybody have any data on lifespan of a helmet? Obviously it depends on how many hours of riding, sweat, rain, sun, etc. But I'm curious does the compact foam actually break down over time?
    Dan you never added a consideration for whether one helmet model is better for your or not???

    • @CyclingSalmon14

    • @CyclingSalmon14
      @CyclingSalmon14 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its well disscued on bikefourms.net helemt thread with links to studys but I have never looked at the studys myself, theroy is the foam/polystyrene becomes more brittle with age.
      Although more likely I reckon after 3 years its been dropped so many times its proberly weaker haha! (Commuting is hard on helemts I have found)
      If I see any structual damage or have a heavy crash that I think may have hit my head I replace it but if I just drop it I dont worry about it.
      End of the day completely upto you but I like to play it safe as its saved my life twice!
      Perssonly I think the foam degrading is rubbish (after only 3 years anyway)
      I do think its likely unseen structual damage may happen in that time drom drops and small crashes though.
      Cheers and have a grate day!

    @ramirangeles2906 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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!

    I need the most compact helmet possible. I already have a big head so an exaggerative helmet just adds insult to injury lol 😂😂

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

    No helmet is always lighter, better ventilated and more comfortable than any helmet, and costs literally infinity percent less.

    What if you're like me and you can't find a helmet big enough ( size 63 to 64 CM , XL Size Bicycle Helmet ) ?

    Can a bike helmet be used for skateboarding? I happen to much prefer the look of bike helmets instead of the skateboard "bowl" shaped helmets, but I can't find any skateboarder helmets that look like bike helmets?

      Not a troll, ironic...I like some bike helmets more than skate helmets, too, you can use them but they offer less protection for ramps and pipes and such...just something to consider.

    • @G1NZOU

      It'll work fine, most countries have identical safety standards for both so they're technically interchangeable for similar activities like biking and skating, it's things like spelunking or rock climbing that require a different sort of helmet.

    • @MattSezer

      Wrong, some skate helmets don't have the same safety standards as bike helmets. They'd probably protect you a bit if you fell off a bike, but they aren't certified to.

    I'm just gonna use motorbike logic. If you hit it the foam and shell gets small cracks. So if you hit it again hard enough it could very easily shatter and it will not be nearly as effective at saving your grey matter as a helmet that has not had an impact.

    • @jshepard152

      Of course. Once it's been impacted, it's done.

    Hi guys!
    I've been watching your videos about helmets. I want to buy a new one but... many options available on the market. I'm looking for an aero and safe helmet.
    Can you do a video-test of the safest helmets? Please XD
    You can use Matt as a tester and brake bricks in his head :D
    Thanks guys! you're awesome! Best wishes from Colombia.

      Try finding a helmet that is MIPS equipped. It's more expensive but supposedly a lot safer.

      +Antonio Alexius It will be perfectly safe (well, equally safe) but you may want to invest in an actual bike helmet just for weight and comfort (and aero if you think that's important).
