The helmet is quite light weight, but in a really good quality in this price . The light on the back is really good for those who need to ride at night time. The adjustment head size is easy to use, it can fit my husband and me both.
Really good strong helmet. A little bit bulky as it has a think Styrofoam layer but you can’t put a price of safety. This helmet is really good quality and will offer a lot of protection in the event of a crash. The led light on the back makes sure I’m seen in the dark and has different flashing modes.
I used to hate wearing helmets, but this one is actually comfortable! The vents keep my head cool even on long rides, and the adjustable fit is perfect. The LED light is a lifesaver on night rides — cars definitely see me coming. Honestly, I kind of forget I’m even wearing it.
I’ve been using this bike helmet for a weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The fit is comfortable, and the adjustable straps ensure a snug fit. The rear light is a fantastic addition for added visibility, especially during early morning or evening rides. The light has multiple modes, including steady and flashing, which is great for different riding conditions. Overall, I feel much safer knowing that I have this helmet with a rear light. Highly recommend it!
At the time of ordering this helmet it was around 30. By the time I’ve come to review it it’s down to around 20 with using a 20% voucher. At 20 it’s a decent hybrid, road or MTB helmet with the main unique selling point being the in-built light which functions well.
The in-built light has 3 modes blinking dots- blinking solid-solid on and off each reached by a sequential press of the small button on the helmet rear. I’m not quite sure how long the battery lasts yet (it hasn’t run out yet!).
Aside from the light the helmet is comfy. As you can see from my pictures there is nice removable padding on the part of the helmet that comes into contact with the front half of your head. There’s also a bit of padding on the part that comes into contact with the dial part (used to adjust the size of the helmet). However, for some unknown reason there is no padding on any other part of the helmet for head comfort, which leaves it feeling quite hard on the top rear part of your head and I dread to think how that would feel on impact in a fall. I’m not quite sure why there’s no other padding in the other contact areas. It’s a bit of a disappointment, especially as the other head padding is really nice (and also a chin strap padding too near the chin clasp).
The only other minor issue is that compared to most hybrid/road helmets the helmet is missing some additional vents on the top of the helmet. Great if it’s raining but not so great at keeping you cool.
The mini visor part is handy too.
Overall the helmet looks smart, the light is great and the strap and weight are all good.
The helmet label says 57-62cm for the XL one I got, which seems about right (the advert says 58-62cm).
It’s just let down a little by the lack of padding
for the rear half of your head and by the (lack of) vents (which some people may prefer).
4 stars from me.
Urgently bought for my husband, he loves the design. It is comfortable to wear. The built-in lights provide excellent visibility, making him feel much safer on the dark road. Considering its functionality and quality, the price is incredibly reasonable. The only thing I would like to remind other buyers is that please pay attention to your head circumference size. I don’t consider my husband’s head to be very large, but he preferred to adjust to rear adjustment dial of the helmet to the maximum, and it fits just right and comfortable.
