You don't have a full race calendar or a spot on the local cycling team, so gear should be more about function than style. Open, empty roads and long sojourns on Sunday afternoons are where you find y more→our joy in cycling, and gear that helps you stay out longer always ends up being what you reach for first. The Giro Cinder MIPS Helmet fits that description aptly, so if your old lid has seen better days, protect your grey matter and stick to your principles by upgrading. Inspired by the competition-minded Synthe, the Cinder shares more than just a similar sounding name with its pricier sibling. Giro anchors the Cinder with a streamlined, aerodynamic shell much like the Synthe's, and ensures it …

Mammut's Wall Rider is the first climbing helmet with Multi-directional Impact Protection System to maximize safety from impacts caused by tumbling rocks and falls. MIPS is a low-friction, slip-plane more→layer that rotates independently around your head to drastically reduce impacts off angled crashes. This revolutionary technology isn't the only feature that makes the Wall Rider innovative. Its hybrid construction pairs a softer EPP core (exposed around the sides) with a hard shell up top to provide protection from both falling rocks and hitting the side of your head on the rock after falling. This hybrid construction also keeps the Wall Rider at a comfortably light eight ounces, and there are …

Hitting the trails on the weekend with your mini-me sometimes causes some stress when the time comes to get them geared up and ready to ride. The Pnut Kineticore Helmet features a no-fuss EZ Fit adjus more→tment system that automatically adjusts to the perfect fit for your little one's head. Fuss is also minimized thanks to the child-friendly cheek buckle, avoiding the dreaded pinch that sends your child into a tantrum. The Pnut also features several added safety features, allowing you to relax and enjoy your ride as your child follows behind you. Kineticore technology and increased coverage around the temples provide protection during impact.

If your little ripper disappears into the park every time you ski together, get him the Smith Holt Jr. Helmet for some much-needed parental peace of mind. The Bombshell ABS shell and molded EPS foam l more→iner are what you want in between your kid’s noggin and all the trial and error that comes with winter sports, and the skate-inspired design is what the half-pint shredder wants to rock when out riding with friends. The AirFlow Climate Control makes sure he stays cool on the warmer days spent hiking the rail line, and AirEvac ventilation reduces goggle fog by routing air from the forehead out the top vents. The Holt Jr. doubles as a skate/bike helmet in the summer because of an included convertible pa…

On the outside, the new Giro Quarter Helmet may look relatively similar to other low-profile, skate-style helmets out there, but it's actually a cutting-edge lid that makes a fine home for your dome. more→The Quarter is Giro's entry-level helmet into the gravity-chasing, dirt-jumping, pavement-pounding arena of riding, aimed at riders who aren't riding at high cardio thresholds or for lengthy stretches of time. Rather, it's meant for big impacts. This tradeoff means it's not as heavily ventilated or as light as some cycling helmets, but the tradeoff is superb protection that's as thorough as you can get without putting on a full-face. Again, it's not as light as a road helmet, for example, but the …

Created specifically for trail and enduro riding, the Axion helmet features a lightweight feel with heavy protection.

Built with a unibody PC shell and an EPS liner, the structure and protection of this helmet are optimized. Also included is a 360° adjustment system, giving you a snug fit for added comfort and security.
