An internal layer that slides a few millimetres during impact, reducing rotational forces on the head. Those forces cause the most serious brain injuries, not the direct blow.

How do I choose a size?

With a tape measure, around the head just above the eyebrows. Children's sizes start at 46 cm — age alone is not enough.

When should a helmet be replaced?

After any impact, even if it looks intact. The material absorbs a crash once.

Do I need cycling glasses?

They protect from wind, insects, dust and ultraviolet light. At speed, an insect in the eye is a genuine hazard.
