Bike helmets come in various shapes and sizes. Buying a good looking helmet will naturally influence you to wear it. Not all bike helmets are the traditional shape, and especially designed helmets for kids and women are available too. For example the popular Giro bike helmet has women's commuting helmets in its Venus range. The Gore helmet cap comes in a round shape and is easy to wear. Whichever the brand or helmet you choose; it should contain the properties of a good bike helmet. A proper fitting bike helmet is the key to get the best out of its intended purpose. A helmet that reaches halfway down the forehead and covers the back of your head well is a perfect fit. Make sure the front part does not obstruct your vision by falling on to your eyes. A snugly fitting helmet should not be too lose or too tight. It should not be movable more than an inch in any direction.

People with long hair can buy helmets that have a ponytail port. The strap under the chin should fit securely without being too tight or loose. When you open your mouth wide, you should be able to feel the helmet push down on your head. You can try out different bike helmets to see which fits you better. The cool looks are important but not just as important as a comfortable fit.
