How to choose a helmet?

——It is important to look for the logo

Generally, there are four main types of helmets: "full helmet", "3/4 helmet", "half helmet", and "flip-up helmet" ".

Full helmet: It protects all parts of the head, including the chin, and is the most protective helmet. However, because this kind of helmet has poor breathability, it is okay in winter, but it will be hot and stuffy when worn in summer. If you often travel between urban and rural areas and often travel with cars on the highway, you may consider this helmet.

3/4 helmet: This helmet only protects three-quarters of the head, hence the name. It takes into account both protection and breathability, and is a relatively common helmet. If you want protection without being too stuffy, go for it.

Half-helmet helmet: It is a relatively common helmet on the road currently. Although it is easy to wear, it cannot protect the safety of the driver very well because it can only protect the safety of the head area. It's really convenient if you need to take your helmet on and off frequently.

Flip-up helmet: It is a "supplementary model" of the full-face helmet. It can completely flip up the chin device, changing from a full-face helmet to a 3/4 helmet. For some cyclists with larger heads, it is easy to wear and can get the protection of a full-face helmet.
