There are a lot of road bike helmets out there and very little time. So James has rated and reviewed 25 of the lids you’re probably already considering - with no B.S. They all have their pro's and con's and it's quite surprising how different helmets can be! In this video we try and test 25 of the best road lids and cover all of the main points including safety, fit, style, comfort, weight, aero design, venting and price. Even if they can hold a set of sunglasses well. We'll compare them all equally against each other so you'll have a good idea of what will be right for you and your riding needs. You'll hopefully get that Cinderella moment!
If there's anything you want to know about any of these helmets (or any other's) just drop us a line and we'd be happy to help.
If you have an helmet in mind, use the timestamp tool to find the one your after.

I just bought the POC Omni Air Mips. I like the look of it far more than the ventral. The fit seems great! I got the large size helmet and I think it says 370g on it. A good 100g more than my old Bontrager Ballista helmet. I wasn't going for aero this time around but more closed at the top helmet to fend off rain even for a little bit.

I just bought a MET Trenta 3K Carbon Size L. My head is a 58cm but the medium felt like a tourniquet. The LG has significantly more mass than the M (the L is meant for 58-61cm). It weighs 326g. So, while this excellent Wiggle video has it as weighed in at 223g, that must be for the small.

how does the giro aries compare to the kask valegro in terms of fit? currently have a valegro (M) because it's wide enough but I'm wondering if the aries is similar in width.
@wiggle
@wiggle 11 месяцев назад
I love the fit of both. I think Giro and Kask (and BELL if you're wondering) fit very similar shape and sized head's. So if you've worn a Valegro comfortably i'd be pretty certain a Aries would fit you well too. Hope that helps

Very nice presentation.. I'd love to see here a Specialized Prevail and Propero as well as Sweet Protection Falconer / Fluxer or Outrider I currently use Ventral Air but I used Octal before and I think they both have amazing ventilation and deserve a higher rating. Before POC I was loyal to KASK and I have one comment here. The worst thing about their helmets was the thick foam in the forehead part. It was enough to lightly touch the helmet, e.g. when putting glasses on the helmet, and a ton of water poured out and ran all over the face. Very annoying on uphills
@evanvrs
@evanvrs 10 месяцев назад
Good review, thank you. The only metric you didn't address, and which I'd suggest for future helmet reviews, is front visibility - many helmets have an overhang or fit low on the forehead, resulting in an annoying blob on overall visibility, or otherwise interfere with glasses clearance - too low and the glasses hit the overhang.
@wiggle

As a former bike messenger in NYC for 3 years (in the dark ages before it became bike friendly) I didn't and still dont wear a helmet. I bike on avg about 13,000 miles a year and have done so every year since the mid 90s. Not wearing a helmet keeps me extra alert because i have no sense of security in the case of a crash. That said, ive recently starting doing BIG ascents and descents in the mountains of Socal (10,000' of gain/loss per ride), and the descent speeds are in excess of 55mph. So im considering it, esp the Spherical which offers some compelling features
