Types of Helmets

• Urban: discreet design, good rear protection, often with reflective bands.
• Sport/Road: lightweight, very ventilated, aerodynamic profile.
• MTB: reinforced shell, visor, more lateral support.
• Full Face: for downhill/trail, maximum protection.

To complete your outfit, the shop offers Giro Bike helmets and shoes for a coordinated style.

Safety Standards

Always check for compliance markings. In Europe, the main standard is EN 1078. Look for the label and the manufacturing date. A damaged helmet must be replaced.

Important Features

• Ventilation: crucial for sports rides. Less necessary for short urban commutes.
• Fit: adjustable occipital system and stable chin strap. Try before you buy.
• Weight: a lightweight helmet is more comfortable, but do not sacrifice safety.
• Visibility: reflective bands or integrated lighting are useful in the city.

For female cyclists, consider the Giro women's bike gear designed for a fit adapted to female morphology.
