Frequently Asked Questions About Bike Helmets
How do I know if my bike helmet fits correctly?
A properly fitting bike helmet should sit level on your head and low on your forehead, just above the eyebrows. The chin strap should be snug against the chin so that when you open your mouth, the helmet tightens against the head. The side straps should form a 'V' shape around each ear.
When should I replace my bike helmet?
You should replace your bike helmet every 3 to 5 years, or immediately after a crash where your head hits the ground, even if there are no visible signs of damage. Over time, the protective materials can degrade, reducing the effectiveness of the helmet.
What is MIPS in bike helmets, and do I need it?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System. It's a technology designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. While not mandatory, MIPS can offer additional protection in certain scenarios and is worth considering for enhanced safety.
Can I wear a hat under my bike helmet?
It's best to avoid thick hats as they can affect the fit and the helmet's ability to protect your head. If needed, wear a thin beanie or skull cap made specifically for use under helmets. Always ensure that any headwear does not compromise the helmet's fit and stability.
Are there different helmets for different types of cycling?
Yes, helmets are designed with specific cycling disciplines in mind. Road helmets are lightweight and aerodynamic, mountain bike helmets often have additional coverage and a visor, and BMX or downhill helmets typically have a full-face design for maximum protection.
