How to choose a bicycle helmet with visor?

Not mandatory, but highly recommended, wearing a helmet keeps your head safe while riding. Why not choose a model equipped with this aesthetic and useful accessory? In addition to style, the visor provides triple protection for your eyes and face. Check out our tips for deciding which bike helmet with visor to choose.

Why choose a bike helmet with a visor?

Road bike helmet, mountain bike, city bike, bicycle touring... whatever the discipline practiced, the helmet with visor offers several advantages in terms of protection:
the visor preserves the eyes from the sun;
the visor shelters the face in case of bad weather;
the visor protects from possible ocular projections undergone by the cyclist.
It's also an accessory that brings a real touch of style to the bike helmet!

Choosing your visor type

There are two types of visors on bike helmets:
the visor attached to the front end of the helmet that comes up above the eyes: often found on urban and mountain bike helmets. Some helmets are made with the visor built in, while others allow it to be detached. A removable visor offers more freedom: you can adjust it to the weather, replace it if it gets damaged, or change it as you wish.

Choosing the right helmet for your practice

Do you use your bike for commuting or for riding around town with your family? There's a whole range of urban bike helmets for men, women and children. Perfectly suited for commuting in built-up areas, they give an urban lifestyle look. Equipped with a visor, such a helmet will allow you to protect yourself daily from the vagaries of the weather to keep your head and face dry.
You like riding off the beaten path? In its sportier version, the visor is an essential accessory of the mountain bike helmet. Like a cap, it prevents glare and offers protection against mud splashes. It is usually adjustable.
Are you a road bike enthusiast? Unlike a mountain bike helmet, a road bike helmet does not have an overhead projection. This would reduce the rider's field of vision while riding in a reclined position and would detract from the aerodynamics so desired. It is the visor-screen that is preferred. In addition to being an effective solar protection against UV rays, it is an excellent barrier against insects! There are visors at all price points and in all colors.
In any case, it is crucial to choose a helmet that fits your head size.
And that's it, the visor has revealed all its secrets! Now you have all the elements in hand to choose your future bike helmet with visor.
