A helmet only protects you if it fits well and sits in the right place.
Fit check
- Choose a helmet with a CPSC certification label
- Wear it level, about two fingers' width above your eyebrows
- Side straps form a V just below each ear
- Buckle snug: about one finger fits under the chin strap
- Replace it after any crash, even if it looks fine
The NHTSA and CPSC recommend wearing a properly fitted bike helmet on every ride. Sunny Birch Daily isn't paid by any bike brand or shop.
