Road Helmets or Performance cycle helmets offer unrivalled levels of
protection with the absolute minimum of material. They are
extraordinarily light and feature a series of huge vents, designed to
scoop up air and direct it over your head to keep you cool. On long, hot
climbs, the difference is noticeable.
Full face helmets are designed to offer extra protection in
higher-risk events such as downhill and freeride. They vary from
ultra-lightweight designs that simply offer additional protection from
branches to heavy Moto-Cross style helmets designed to protect the whole
head in a more serious fall.
MTB Helmets - Off road cycle helmets feature plenty of ventilation
with a large numbers of vents to help keep your head cool. Off road
bicycle helmets will also usually feature a peak to help keep the suns
glare and rain off your face. When looking for a off road cycle helmet
you should consider the fit, style and level of protection it will offer
as these need to match your riding style, if you like to push it off
road at a fast pace then a more vented lid is highly recommended.
Kids and youths cycle helmets are designed to be light, comfortable
and allow for growth, they are specifically designed with this in mind
to ensure your child is comfortable whilst wearing it and enjoys the
ride. When measuring your child's head you need to measure around the
circumference, in-line with the temples and above the ears, head shapes
will vary so most will come with foam padding which can often be moved
around to ensure a good fit. From Skid lids to MTB helmets, all you need
to keep your kid safe.
Aero helmets - Some modern Aero racing bicycle helmets have a long
tapering back end for streamlining. This type of helmet is mainly
dedicated to time trial racing.
