Urban Helmets

Urban helmets differ even from road helmets. Designed for commuters, urban helmets tend to be subtle and casual. As a commuter or city bike rider you won’t want to stick out as the colourful weirdo at the supermarket. So, the colours are more muted. The helmet industry is doing everything it can to encourage people to wear their helmets when they ride. And one of the things they have done is to focus on the looks, the appearance, the aesthetics, of the helmet, beyond its ability to provide protection. They are working to conter the fact that one of the main reasons some (foolish) people don’t wear a helmet is because they don’t like how the helmets look – or how the rider looks in the helmet.

So, the helmet industry created the Urban Helmet. After much market research, they invested in the creation of helmets that look more like beanies in muted, subtle, inconspicuous colours. Plus, because commuting is not a sport, there is less expectation for the rider to sweat. So, there is less need for ventilation. Some urban helmets even have closable vents because commuting happens all year round. So, when commuting in different weather conditions, urban helmet wearers can choose the amount of ventilation they prefer.
