Top 5 Best Bike Helmets for Touring: Expert Picks

The media could not be loaded. All e-bike users look no further, this is the helmet for you!! I recently bought this helmet and after using it for about a month, I can definitely say this is a product worth buying. The price might seem steep, but this is one of the only bike helmets out there right now certified for class 3 e-bike speeds of up to 28mph. Regular bike helmets are only good for 15 mph speeds, so you’re basically paying for double the protection with this helmet. You also get added features that most helmets don’t come with, like front and rear lights for visibility at night, a rear tightening mechanism for a more secure fit, a removable visor to keep the sun out your eyes, and a very well made magnetic latch for easy attachment and removal. The bike also has great ventilation which kept me cool and less sweaty during those hotter days.Another great thing about this helmet is how comfortable it is to wear. There’s soft padding on the inside so you don’t feel the hard surface squeezing your head like other helmets. The padding is also removable for washing which is very convenient, especially if you sweat a lot. My favorite thing about the helmet though, and one of the main reasons I bought it, was how light it was. This helmet weighs less than a pound!! When riding with it, I hardly ever feel like I’m even wearing a helmet, which is surprising given how much protection its supposed to offer. If you look at something with similar protection like a motorcycle helmet, those are bulky and can weigh anywhere from 5-8 pounds. When riding with something that heavy on your head, you definitely feel that weight, and it isn’t as comfortable. The look of the helmet is also pretty modern and stylish. It makes me feel more inclined to wear it since it doesn’t make my head look big or goofy whenever I go out.Overall though, this bike helmet is a very good buy. I couldn’t find a single complaint to give. Not only are you paying for solid protection, but you’re also getting a high quality product made from high quality materials. Nothing on this helmet feels cheap or out of place for its price, you’re for sure getting what you payed for and will not regret getting this helmet. There’s also a sale going on right now, so it’s a perfect time to get it if you’re worried about the price.The last thing I’ll touch on though is the customer service and this company as a whole. I’ve genuinely never met a company so dedicated and willing to accommodate its customers like this company has done.When I first got my helmet, it didn’t fit my head quite right so I got into contact with the company and they helped me out tremendously!! The owner of the company, Benjamin, got back to me and offered to replace my helmet free of charge for one of their unreleased X-large versions!! This was honestly very surprising to me and I was super grateful for Bens help. He updated me throughout the whole process and made sure everything was perfect when it arrived, which it was. So if any of you end up having a problem with your helmets or yours ends up getting broken in an accident, make sure to hit up their customer service. They’re great and will definitely help you the best they can. Happy and safe riding everyone, hope you enjoy the helmet as much as me.

My husband had decided that we needed e-bikes. So I started to research the best helmets for an e-bike. I ordered this helmet because it has the NTA8776 rating and it has both a front light and a back light for safety.When my husband received the helmet he was pleasantly surprised by the helmet. He loved the fit, look and he was surprised how light it felt on his head. He said he forgot he even had the helmet on… and that is saying a lot esp. since our bike rides are in the mid morning during the Arizona summer. He has even gotten compliments on his helmet as he was riding around. He tells everyone they should get this helmet and he even tells the local bike shops that they should carry this helmet.He loved his helmet so much, I wanted to get one for myself but my head size is too small for the helmet they currently sell. I reached out to Xnito to find out when they would be releasing the smaller size helmets. The customer service is amazing. These days I have found customer service is seriously lacking with most companies but not this one. They actually care about their customers and encourage feedback. I heard back from someone within a couple hours and they worked hard to get me a smaller size helmet before they are actually available to everyone because I am not that good of a bike rider and I didn’t want to take any chances getting hurt. They kept in contact with me through the whole ordering and receiving of the helmet. They also followed up to make sure everything was good.I have the new small size helmet and it has the magnetic buckle which is pretty cool. It took me a few minutes to figure it out but I’ve got it now. The new helmets also have the type c charging cable. To me this doesn’t really matter, but I know that it important to a lot of people. This is a great helmet. The smaller size helmets will be available soon, I do believe.Now, I haven’t had any accidents to be able to say how it holds up and I hope I never do, but this helmet covers all the important parts of our heads and I do “feel” safer having it on. They also have an accident replacement policy for the helmet if by chance you do get into an accident.Give this helmet a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised and glad you did.

I got the large size fits well with additional adjustable features are nice touch. Lightweight and well designed permitting good ventilation.

Great product quality. Came with a thing that you can adapt if your head is smaller. Also came with a duster bag for storage.

Good helmet, fits really well and feels secure on the head. Comfortable and does its job protecting you.Simple and solid choice.

Lightweight & Fits great. Fully adjustable w/ a padded chin strap and fairly inexpensive. Couldn’t ask for much more.

This is a lightweight helmet. The visor is a great addition. It felt very thin when I was trying to install it on the helmet and I was a little nervous I was going to break it. I did get it installed with no breaking and now it feels solid. It does slide up and down on the front of the helmet easily to adjust coverage. The screws to install are soft and it seemed like I would strip the heads easily – other than a few nicks, they ended up holding up well.The chin strap is pretty comfortable, as far as chin straps go. You can remove the padded cuff, if that isn’t your thing. You do need to remove it to adjust the strap length initially.The removable foam insert is preety thin. It also has the vent screens for the helmet holes built in to it. If you remove the insert there is no screen, which isn’t a big deal.It is easy to adjust sizing with the wheel on the back. I have a smaller head, so this is nice to make a snug/comfortable fit easy.It is a basic helmet. I am not sure about the level of protection this helmet will offer. It is very lightweight, which is nice, and has good overall coverage. For longer, more intense rides I would definitely want something more robust with some safety certifications, but for general leisurely rides, I think this is will give me piece of mind.Overall, this is pretty easy to assemble and adjust to fit well.

I’ve been using the MET Downtown MIPS on my daily tours around the city, and it’s fantastic. The MIPS layer feels reassuring on quick stops, and the vents keep me from overheating even in summer traffic. Super comfortable for 20+ mile rides!

Lightweight and stylish, perfect for commuting and light touring. The fit dial is smooth, and airflow is better than my old helmet. Worth the investment for the tech.
