What should you pay attention when using a cycling helmet

1.The helmet is as light as possible
Relatively speaking, the helmet is the lighter the better. But the lighter the riding helmet, it will pass the national safety certification test the chance of the test will be smaller, the relative price will be higher. So the premise of the election helmet is to pass the national safety certification test standards, most of the 200 or more helmets can do about 260G, the weight even if the long distance will not make you feel tired, so do not care too much about the weight of the helmet. Unless you are for a bike race. To try to reduce the weight, otherwise, it is not worth the extra money to buy the weight of the super helmet.

1. The larger the helmet hole or the more the more the wind
   Hygiene is the key to helmets and can keep your head dry when traveling on a long drive. The more or more the ventilation holes on the helmet, the greater the airflow around your head, the more you feel cool. However, keep in mind that the more or greater the ventilation holes on the helmet, the more exposed your head, so the degree of protection is reduced accordingly. Road bike helmets have more or larger vents than mountain bike helmets. Similarly, compared to mountain cyclists, road cyclists have to consider the weight of the helmet. In general, the lighter the weight of the helmet, the more expensive the price. So, unless you are going to make a bike race, try to reduce your weight, otherwise it is not worth the extra money to buy a light weight bike helmet.
2. Small buckle and pull the relationship between life, buckle and pull can not bear a certain force, it will break.
   We may only know that riding a helmet to do some impact test, but the buckle and pull the tape should also be the appropriate tensile test, if not through the corresponding tensile test, can not be used on the helmet. So, a qualified riding helmet, a small buckle and pull the tape must pass the appropriate test, be considered a true sense of the national safety certification in line with the standard test helmet.
3. The helmet is broken or used overdue
   If the crack, do not use, and wear only heart comfort, not much substantive use, if the small knock small touch does not matter, but once the crash, the strength of large, it may not be able to play a protective role The Do not underestimate a crack, it has been in the physical structure of the helmet to change the force and force effect. Do you know the reason for the collapse of a bridge in Seoul in the 1990s? Later inferred, it may be because the bridge side of a welding point is not welded firmly, the resulting cracks caused. For a simple principle, you can pull a new A4 paper from both ends, and you may have to pay for it, but once you tear a little hole in the middle of the paper, it is easy to break the paper.
   The rider should change the helmet every three years, whether or not it falls or collides. Because, although the helmet has not been collided, but the sun’s exposure and sweat erosion will make the helmet and some accessories aging, thereby weakening the safety factor, damage the helmet protection performance.
