Choosing Your Lazer Helmet: A Practical Guide

Finding the perfect cycling helmet is like finding the right pair of shoes – it needs to fit well, feel comfortable, and suit your activity. Lazer has over a century of experience engineering helmets that prioritise safety, comfort, and performance for every style of riding.

Step 1: Nailing the Fit and Comfort

A helmet you forget you're wearing is a sign of a perfect fit. Here’s how to get it right.

How to Measure and Fit Your Helmet: To find your size, wrap a flexible tape measure around the widest part of your head, about 2.5 cm above your eyebrows. Use this measurement in centimetres to check the brand's sizing chart. A helmet should be snug but comfortable, with no pressure points. Adjust the dial at the back, then gently shake your head; it shouldn't shift or wobble. Lazer's retention systems (like TurnSys) allow for precise adjustments. The chin strap should form a 'V' below your ears, with enough room for two fingers between the strap and your chin.

Helmet Weight and Ventilation: Lazer helmets are designed to be lightweight, which reduces neck strain on long rides. The Lazer Z1 KinetiCore, for example, weighs just 220 grams (size medium). Good ventilation is also crucial in the Aussie weather. Lazer helmets use strategic vents and internal channelling to draw in cool air and expel warm air, keeping you comfortable. If you're unsure about fit, our team at EveryBody eBikes in Brisbane can help you find and adjust the perfect helmet.

Step 2: Understanding Lazer's Safety Features

Safety is the most critical aspect of any helmet. Lazer is a leader in helmet safety innovation, and their best Lazer helmet options feature cutting-edge technology.

KinetiCore Technology: A Revolution in Protection Lazer's proprietary KinetiCore technology is a major safety advancement. Unlike systems that add a separate liner (like MIPS), KinetiCore integrates rotational impact protection directly into the helmet. It uses controlled crumple zones built into the EPS foam, which deform to absorb both direct and rotational forces in a crash. This design makes the helmets lighter, better ventilated, and more sustainable by using less plastic. The benefits are clear:

• Improved Rotational Impact Protection: Reduces the risk of brain injury from angled impacts.
• Lighter Weight: Integrating protection reduces overall helmet weight.
• Improved Ventilation: The design creates more efficient ventilation channels.
• More Sustainable: Less material means a smaller environmental footprint.

Step 3: Finding the Best Lazer Helmet for Your Budget

Lazer offers a diverse range of helmets to suit various budgets without compromising on core safety.

Price and Value: Lazer helmets range from accessible entry-level models around $80 AUD to premium performance options over $200 AUD. This ensures there's a quality helmet for every budget. Value isn't just the lowest price; it's the balance of safety, comfort, and performance. Lazer integrates advanced protection like KinetiCore even into its affordable models, offering excellent value for your investment.

Entry-Level vs. Premium: Entry-level helmets are perfect for commuting or recreational rides, focusing on core safety and comfort. Premium models offer advanced aerodynamics, lower weight, and superior ventilation for competitive or long-distance cyclists. Your helmet is a key piece of safety gear, and with Lazer's extensive range, you can find one that offers excellent protection and comfort, no matter your budget.
