How to Choose a Cycling Helmet

First, when purchasing a cycling helmet, be sure to check whether the selected helmet has a label from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine. By law, all cycling helmets sold in China must meet the safety standards set by the Administration before they can be sold to customers. Otherwise, they are considered illegal products.
Second, to reduce injury in the event of an accident, all cycling helmets come with a safety strap, which also helps the helmet fit more snugly to your head. Therefore, never let the safety strap just hang loosely on either side of your face—always fasten it securely.
Finally, after selecting a cycling helmet that meets national safety certification standards, the next step is to ensure that the chosen helmet is comfortable to wear. Different helmets come in various sizes, including models specifically designed for female cyclists. Riders should note that no matter how precise the size measurements are, nothing beats trying on the helmet in person. To ensure you get a comfortable helmet, visit a bike shop to try it on yourself rather than relying solely on others’ recommendations or praise and ending up with one that doesn’t suit you.
