Bicycle helmets are unquestionable to protect ride people's life. According to the report of American road safety insurance, the number of people who ride bicycle death in 1999 did not wear helmets, and people wearing a helmet in the impact accidents were reduced by 85% of the risk factor of their head. With the increase in the Hardpine oil and stone road, the accident in the head injured during the cycling also increases, and the riding helmet can protect the fragile head, so it is a must-have equipment.
Generally did not have an accident, it would not experience the importance of good equipment, many people have inferior psychology, I feel that the equipment that people brought to people is to force, in fact, in the same speed, we will of course hope The stronger the protection, the better life, you save money on equipment, it is spent in the hospital, now the most slight fracture surgery, nearly 10,000 yuan, this place is really not worthless. Let's take a look at the seven characteristics of the identification helmet.
[Texture] - good density
The helmet typically uses a foamed material (ordinary or high density, the difference between the two is its collision effect) cast, and has a smooth shell surface;
[Weight] - light
What is pressed on the head can not be too heavy, this is why the riding helmet does not use alloy materials; most of the helmets are between 9-16 ounces, this is just a pound unit or even lighter! Note: The cheap helmet is mostly heavy.
[Lining] - Clearable
Clearable wickle fabric or antimicrobial liner and other helmets can keep your helmet clean and clean. The good helmet has a large coverage, better texture, and the inner bonding of the helmet is also more strong. The lance behind the lamination can be easily cleaned, just allow it to add it in a laundry liquid or washing A few minutes in the fine water, then use your hand a few times, then use it with water, you can dry it.
[Wearing Comfort] - Can adjust the head circumference
The cheap helmet is generally uncomfortable. The helmet clothing is required, the helmet of the bicycle is small, medium, large, and extension. The cheap helmet is probably only average code. To know that wearing a comfortable helmet can greatly reduce the oppression of the corner head and the neck and maximize the protection effect when he is hit;
[Gas permeability] - feel dry
Make sure your head is dry when you are riding. The more ventilation holes on the helmet, the greater the airflow around the head, the more you feel cool. The cheap helmet has only a few ventilated air ports, so it will be hot. However, please keep in mind that the more ventilation holes on the helmet, the more you expose your head, so the degree of protection is reduced accordingly. It is recommended to wear a "sweating belt" in your head to prevent sweat from flowing into the eyes. In the cold season, wear "ear jacket" or wearing a thin turban (name is Balaklavas) in it inside.
[Type] - Meet the riding demand
Hald helmets are divided into highways (no caps), highway mountains and other uses (equipped with disassemblers). There are also friends using helmets similar to baseball or wheel. The whole helmet riding helmet model is similar to the motorcycle helmet, usually used at speed or climbing trucks. Therefore, the category you choose has also determined the price of the helmet to a certain extent.
[Design] - Humanization
The helmet has a different type, and some helmets have a plastic cap, which is to protect the glasses from the sun's exposure and rainy rain. The helmet with a hat is capable of sunscreen, and the reflective marker on the helmet can also prevent miscarriage when riding at night. The more you look awake at night, the easier you cars or other cycling people will see you. (PS: Don't think that the color is dazzling is equipped B)
In addition to the above points, there is still a little, in addition to the material cost, more scientific research and development of intellectual property, marketing costs, brand premium and other factors, cost-effective cannot be generalized, at least in the helmet industry, the requirements for technical content is Very high, it is much more than those of luxury goods such as LV.
In summary, when choosing a bicycle helmet, you should choose the importance of the helmet to choose your own needs, and the price of the helmet is reasonable, but pay attention to the following priority: comfort> breathability> Appearance> Weight.
How long does the helmet change reasonable?
The purpose of the helmet is rupture, this is the role of the helmet. The material used in the helmet is a broken impact, when the head hits, the helmet will smash, or rupture. This is the role of helmet protection head. The helmet is designed to have at least one hit! After any collision, you must change the old helmet in time to ensure its best performance.
Note: No matter whether it falls or collides, the rider should replace a riding helmet every three years. Because, although the helmet has not collided, the sunlight exposure and sweat erosion will also make the helmet and some accessories, thus weakening the safety factor, damaging the helmet protection performance.
Regardless of the riding helmet, it must be tight!
some advices:
1. If the helmet has instructions, please read it carefully before wearing.
2, avoid using chemicals to clean the helmet. The manufacturer suggests with a soft cloth or sponge, plus some soapy water.
3. Do not place it in the loft, garage, trunk, and so on. Overheasing is easy to make foamed plastic out of large bubbles, do not wear a helmet that has been hot damage.
4, please don't borrow the helmet to others. You must clarify your usage of your helmet to make sure he is in good time.
