What do you look for in a trail helmet?

Much has been made of new helmet technology of late, with companies trying to out compete each other on their safety claims, a plethora of detachable chin bars, and all kinds of attachment points. But do you care? Are you just looking for a trail helmet to match your outfit? Whatever is cheapest? Whatever fits your peanut shaped head?

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

    Fit/comfort & protection in a trail lid.

    Fit/comfort and lightness in a full face.

    There is another category.
    “Ventilation that does not have massive holes on top that I can get sunburnt through”
    Probably a issue for people with receding hairline living in Queensland, Australia.

    Comfort and Fit first, then cost and can I fit my Headlamp cleanly to it? (Gloworm X2 on Kask Rex)

    Interesting that you’re looking at percentage of votes rather than percentage of voters given we couldn’t cast our votes in order of preference. If 274 people out of 321 think comfort is important i’d give it a score of 85%, not 32%.

    But I am very pedantic!

    Good fit is my highest priority- followed by comfort and looks
