Question 1

What are the best urban cycle helmets on the market?

Accepted Answer

A large retractable visor protects your field of vision from wind, insects and dust. Mavic offers two different coatings: a clear version (standard on part of the collection) and a slightly tinted mirrored version (that comes standard on the majority of the collection). The tinted option provides sun protection and also reduces the glare of low-beam headlights at night. The spherical shape was developed to be suited for all types of riders.

Question 2

Next, assess the fit, ventilation and the adjustment system. A helmet with an easy-to-use adjustment system and adjustable straps will help you fine-tune the fit.

Question 3

How do I maintain and clean an urban cycle helmet?

Accepted Answer

To maintain and clean your urban cycle helmet, follow these simple steps. First, remove the inner pads and straps from the helmet. Wash them by hand with lukewarm water and a mild soap, then leave them to dry in the open air (but not near a source of heat or sunlight). To wash the outside of the helmet, use a soft, damp cloth, taking care not to use harsh chemicals. If the helmet is very dirty, you can use a little mild soap diluted in lukewarm water. Finally, leave the helmet to dry completely before reassembling it.
