Frequently asked questions about the topic

Is a bicycle helmet a good Christmas gift?

Yes, if you know the riding style, head circumference and personal preferences. A helmet combines safety with a gift that gets regular use on many rides.

What details do I need to give a helmet as a gift?

Measure the head circumference and work out whether the helmet is for city, sport, MTB, e-bike or kids riding. Colour, ventilation and desired features help with the choice.

How do I measure the head circumference discreetly?

The most reliable way is a direct measurement with a flexible tape measure about 2.5 centimetres above the eyebrows. Alternatively, a well fitting existing helmet can give clues about the size.

What do I do if I am torn between two sizes?

Compare the size chart of the specific model. A fit system only compensates within a limited range; the helmet has to sit firmly without pressure points.

Which helmet features work particularly well as a gift?

Depending on the person, MIPS, a rear light, reflective surfaces, a visor or a precise fit system can be worthwhile. The intended use should always matter more than a single extra.
