A lot of people will complain that wearing a helmet increases the circumference of your head, making you more likely to hit it while you’re riding, so it’s a good idea to wear your helmet all the time.

This way you’ll get used to the way it feels while you’re riding and you’ll know to account for the the size of it when you fall – just think turtle!

Wearing your helmet all the time, (as opposed to, say, just on powder days) also means that you’ll end up feeling more comfortable in it, until you don’t want to go riding without it.

That’s when you’ll know it’s safely assimilated itself into a staple piece of kit!
