If you do daily battle with car traffic on your way to and from work, you must have nerves of steel. Or, you’re very brave. Or maybe you’re just crazy? More likely than all that, though—you’ve got the right gear. That includes a quality helmet, preferably the kind with a rear light for safety and visibility.
If you’re using a bike helmet that doesn’t have a light on the back, it’s time to get with the program. Helmets with taillights have come a long way. In just a few years, battery technology has drastically improved. So if you forget to turn it off overnight it’s not a problem. But most of all lighting tech is so much better these days that even the smallest lights are far more effective than they were just a few years ago.
It’s CPSC certified, so it’s legit for safety and security. Lightweight (0.62 pounds) and comfortable, it has nine air vents and detachable soft padding on the inside. The adjustable chin strap and rear dial secure system make for a comfortable and easy fit.
We particularly like the matte finish and urban styling. It’s a casual commuter bike helmet, so you don’t look like a wanna-be. Or a Storm Trooper. It’s average sized and fully adjustable, from 21.5 to 24 inches. So it should fit most adults with Medium or Large heads.
Let’s be clear: This is by no means a top-of-the-line bike helmet! If you’re a road-racer or mountain biker, you ought to be more than willing to spend over $18 on a bike helmet.
Rather, this is a safe, functional, easy to wear commuter helmet for everyday casual wear. it’s just the kind you should spend about forty bucks on. Only right now, this fantastic, urban-cool bike helmet is just $18. That’s 48 percent off the regular price.
