With its kid-friendly features and advanced protection, the Lazer Nutz Kineticore Helmet keeps our kids covered as they develop their skills on the bike. The cleverly positioned cheek buckle prevents more→any skin pinching under the chin, while the EZ fit system automatically adjusts for a perfect fit for every ride. The addition of Lazer's KinetiCore technology protects against rotational impact forces as another layer of protection.

Classic style and modern protection blend together in one lightweight package in the second generation of Bern's coveted Macon, The Winter Macon 2. 0 MIPS Helmet. It is lighter than its predecessor an more→d features a new silhouette with a ThinShell construction that boosts strength in its polycarbonate shell while slimming it down for a lighter feel.

Full-face helmets offer the best level of protection for mountain biking, but are often cumbersome and lack the ventilation needed for anything other than downhill. Enter the Stage Mips Helmet from Tr more→oy Lee Designs. An impressively low weight combined with extensive ventilation make the Stage Mips our choice for enduro-style riding or racing, where technical descents worthy of a full-face helmet are mixed in with climbs and long transfer stages. It's still downhill certified, ensuring it can hold up to high-energy impacts if you're riding DH or bike park, but the lightweight and highly-ventilated design make it much more enjoyable for the rides when you have to earn your descent first.

There are more→over thirty ventilation holes to keep us cool and collected whether we're heading up or down. We also appreciate the helmet's ultralight weight on tours, and the removable ears assist with compact packability.

The Ascender is triple-certified and weighs in at under a pound.

With 21 vents to draw air through the helmet, we can stay cool and comfortable, and arrive to work without too much of a helmet hair effect. The vents also help prevent fogging when we're wearing our fastest sunglasses that sit close to the helmet's edge. Smith uses their VaporFit system, which has a dial and allows for up, down, fore, and aft movement for your perfect fit. A well-fitting helmet is a …
