Bike helmets which

This affordable commuter helmet, which can be used for both biking and skating, has a simple, matte design and comes in nine colors and three sizes, and can fit adults with head sizes ranging from 51 to 63 centimeters.

Helmets come with 10 vents for ventilation and two extra sets of inner pads for a customizable fit. One of the most highly rated bike helmets on Amazon, this Schwinn helmet has over 20 air vents, extra rear coverage and comes with a removable visor.

Riders can easily adjust their helmet using a dial on the back, and this helmet comes in one standard size fitting riders with a head circumference of 58 to 62 centimeters. Helmets come in over a dozen colors and designs.

This sleek helmet, sporting a vintage design, comes in 12 different stylish colors, including Rose Gold and Terra Cotta. Helmets come with seven air vents, a visor and a magnetic buckle. One unique feature of this helmet is its anti-theft feature, which allows riders to lock their helmet to a bike chain.

Helmets come in three sizes and fit adults with head sizes ranging between 54 and 62 centimeters. Hanna Horvath is a personal finance reporter based in New York City. IE 11 is not supported. While in-stock bikes are still proving hard to find, helmets of all shapes and sizes remain relatively easy to track down.

Perhaps not surprisingly, many of our experts say the first thing to consider when shopping for a helmet is the type of biking you do. Many of the experts we spoke to mentioned one other detail when it comes to shopping for helmets: Whether or not they have MIPS technology, or an interior lining designed to further protect against brain damage should you fall. MIPS is not among the basic safety standards all helmets sold in the U.

Kelley agrees, telling us that a lot of his customers are really like this helmet, particularly for getting around the city of L. Ryan Zagata, president of Brooklyn Bicycle Co. One of the first companies to offer MIPS technology, POC the maker of other products cyclists have told us about before has since developed its own comparable proprietary technology called Spin. We found it to be supremely comfortable and well ventilated, and it claims to also be very aerodynamic — one of our tests actually backs this up too.

The Circuit MIPS from Bontrager is a well thought out all-rounder that can satisfy road, gravel and commuter riders alike. The Velocis was redesigned recently and the formerly traditional-looking helmet now sits firmly in the aero lid category.

Bontrager launched its WaveCel technology with a blaze of bold claims about potential improvements to safety, but whatever the real-world implications, this is an impressive helmet package for road use.

Its MIPS system adds to the cost, but with that you are also getting great reassurance and, along with the super-adjustable Roc Loc 5 cradle, an excellent fit. Four internal pads keep things comfortable and five pronounced internal channels ventilate the majority of the head very well at all speeds, making this model an attractive, safe and great-value choice. The Protone is claimed to be designed to maintain aerodynamics and airflow in any common riding position, and however you move your head, it remains consistently quiet.

Ventilation is superb thanks to eight forward-looking vents and six large exit ports, and the Octo Fit retention system offers a huge adjustment range to keep everything secure and comfy. This is said to make it easier to perform adjustments one-handed.

Ventilation is good and the polycarbonate shell and angular vents give the helmet a very sharp appearance. The internal padding is minimal yet well placed and the micro-adjust dial offers plenty of tensioning to keep it securely on your head. We especially loved the 4cm vertical adjustment in the retaining cradle, which enables you to position the helmet in just the right spot.

Not only does it look great, but its excellent fit and slim profile quickly won us over. Oakley only got into the cycling helmet market relatively recently, but its ARO5 aero lid did not disappoint. The relatively minimalist helmet uses four large front vents to scoop in air with two smaller vents at the back to exhaust excess heat.

The Boa-dial retention system — which adjusts a soft cord that runs around the circumference of the helmet — is also fairly nifty and we found it to work very well. Its polycarbonate shell completely covers the vulnerable EPS core, apart from inside the vents, and its smooth, elongated shape and mostly enclosed shell look purposeful.

The Scott Centric Plus does the seemingly impossible, combining aero qualities with excellent ventilation to create a great do-it-all lid in a relatively normal-looking package. Beneath the shell is a heavily channelled EPS core that offers far more ventilation than your usual aero lid. The shell contributes to its g weight, but provides extra protection from accidental damage, while inside the padding is made from Merino wool for super-soft comfort. As a bonus, the ANGi system requires no paid subscription.

Sweet Protection is better known for its mountain bike protection, but its Falconer road helmet absolutely deserves a place on this list. Looking more expensive than its price tag, the Van Rysel RoadR helmet from Decathlon is comfortable with a racy outline and 14 large vents that do a good job of cooling.

The dial adjuster feels a bit cruder than higher-priced helmets, though. Other notable pros include brow pad with a gutter to keep sweat away from the eyes and dial to adjust height for a perfect fit. There are cheaper options out there but I think the value that is being delivered in this helmet justifies the price. While all cyclists, from casual commuters to renegade roadies, need to protect their domes while riding, mountain bikers need a specific type of protection.

The top of the helmet has an attachment to mount a light, which is especially helpful when riding trails because the light follows where your head goes, helping you see everything ahead. You can also mount a GoPro on top of the helmet in case you want to capture all the action on the trails. Smith is known for its skiing and snowboarding helmets and goggles, so the brand is well-versed in making gear that can withstand hard knocks.

The helmet has a polycarbonate shell, MIPS technology and in-mold construction, with a network of cylinders designed to absorb energy uniformly upon impact while also allowing for better airflow that extends to the rear of the helmet.

An integrated mount for a camera or light and a knob in back that allows for a more precise fit rounds out the list of notable features. This sharp-looking helmet from Bell is available in an assortment of colors, including an especially striking matte red and black. Along with a polycarbonate shell and in-mold construction, and integrated with MIPS technology just like the Bell Z20, it has the same progressive layering of EPS foam of different densities said to be more effective in handling impact.

It also has a dial for precise vertical and width adjustments. Great air flow due to design of channeling air vs others with just larger vent openings.

Looks cool, as much as an MTB helmet can, sleek and not too bulbous. The Register has a polycarbonate shell, in-mold construction and MIPS technology, along with quick-dry padding and reflective strips. And the stylish colors and designs for , including some with tone-on-tone details, give it an expensive-helmet vibe.

The level of protection and safety certification seems as high as you would expect from Giro. Lightweight, good airflow.
