When it comes to helmets, the simpler the better.

Many helmet manufacturers try to make their helmets look cool by adding peaks and lots of air vents and bright colours, but that usually makes them look worse.

In the long run you’re more likely to get a new jacket than a new helmet, and will wear different hoodies in the spring, so having a plain and simple helmet that goes with everything is always a good idea.

Furthermore, it might seem like a good idea to buy a really brightly coloured helmet with lots of pictures on it at the time, but chances are, you might not like it any more after a season, so we recommend keeping it cool and easy.
