Introduction
The bicycle helmet is an essential piece of equipment for any cyclist, as it protects the head in the event of an accident. But how do you choose the right headset for you? In this article, we're going to give you tips to help you choose the bike helmet that's right for you.
-
The size
The first thing to check before buying a bicycle helmet is the size. An ill-fitting helmet will not protect you properly in the event of an accident. To choose the right size, measure the circumference of your head with a tape measure and choose a helmet that matches your size. We have created a complete video guide that you can find here

Ventilation
Comfort is also important when choosing a bicycle helmet. Vented helmets allow air to circulate, which helps prevent excessive sweating and keeps the head cool.
-
The weight
The weight of the helmet is another important factor to consider. A lightweight helmet will be more comfortable to wear for long periods of time and will be less tiring on the head and neck.
-
The certification
It is important to choose a bicycle helmet that has been tested and certified to meet current safety standards. In Europe, the safety standard for bicycle helmets is EN1078.
