A triathlon helmet is an essential product for every triathlete participating in a competition.
A good triathlon helmet is designed to be lightweight, aerodynamic and comfortable, while still providing maximum protection to the head in the event of an impact.
Here are some features to consider when choosing a triathlon helmet:
- Aerodynamics: An aerodynamic design can help reduce drag and improve your overall speed during the cycling portion of the race.
- Ventilation: A good ventilation system can help keep your head cool and comfortable during the race, especially in hot weather.
- Comfort: The helmet should fit comfortably and securely, with adjustable straps.
- Safety: The helmet must meet safety standards such as the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) or EN-1078 (European standard).
- Visor: Some triathlon helmets come with a visor to protect the eyes from sun and wind and to improve visibility on the cycling portion of the race.
- Transition friendly: A triathlon helmet should be easy to put on and take off during the transition from the swimming to the cycling portion of the race.
