The fit is the most important thing, said Michael Roberts, general manager of Outdoor Sports Center in Wilton. Ms. Strnad explained that helmets can and should be adjusted to fit each individual bike rider. Mr. Roberts said buyers should always check the inside of a helmet for a safety commission label. The Snell standard, which requires the hardest impact durability, is one to look for. This will ensure that the equipment has been tested for durability and safety.
Helmets are available in a variety of colors and designs.
Even the weight of the head gear has been designed with comfort in mind. He added that the helmet's design somehow allows for greater air circulation on top of the head. Mr. Roberts said that regardless of age, he always encourages bikers to buy a helmet if they do not already have one. With a broad selection of helmets on the market, Mr. Roberts said most everyone should be able to find a helmet to suit their safety needs.
