Buying Guide
When purchasing a helmet the fit is the most important aspect of the equipment. It can be the difference between providing effective protection or serious injury. The helmet should sit level on the head and should be secured steadily. In general a helmet should rest only a couple inches between the eyebrow and the brim of the helmet. Straps should be secured underneath the chin and should not be loose. When choosing a helmet it's important to consider the potential demands of the helmet. There are two types, hard shell and soft shell helmets. Obviously hard shell helmets provide coverage against puncture to the scalp and seemingly provide greater coverage, but they can also be heavier, and uncomfortable. Soft shell helmets are lighter, but provide less coverage.-
