Due to the revised Road Traffic Act that came into effect last year.Wearing a bicycle helmet becomes mandatoryHowever, there may be some people who have not purchased a helmet yet.

I, too, have been thinking about which one is better. However, for me, the streamlined helmets worn by cyclists who ride road bikes are “too cool.”

The type of bicycle I own is somewhere between a road bike and a city bike, and a “too cool” helmet doesn’t balance it out and makes me feel uncomfortable. However, it is not possible to think that “any helmet is fine.”

After much consideration, I finally made the choice and was very satisfied.This is what I will introduce this time.GALEA80“is.

[“GALEA80” is recommended for these people! ]

  • I’m looking for a helmet that’s just right, not too cool and not too tacky.
  • I’m looking for a helmet that can be used for both commuting and riding around town.
  • I’m looking for a helmet that is lightweight, has high impact resistance, breathability, and light blocking properties.

Well, the author purchased this helmet in blue, but it is also available in black. The deciding factor for purchasing is that it’s not too cool and it’s not too tacky.

As mentioned above, if it looks too cool, it won’t match the bike you’re riding. On the other hand, if the design is zero, I won’t feel like wearing it. In that respect, “GALEA80” isIt blends into the city, goes well with any outfit, and is easy to use for both city riding and commuting.

Excellent breathability and light blocking properties

What I’m curious about isbreathable. Many people use bicycles almost every day throughout the year. However, conventional helmets have the disadvantage that they tend to trap heat in the hot summer.

In the case of “GALEA80”, there are large holes on the back to ensure ventilation.Structure that allows air to flow well and prevents stuffinessIt has become.

At first, I was worried that the weight and tight fit of a helmet would make me hate riding a bicycle. but,The functionality of “GALEA80” is so comfortable that it blows away such concerns.

There are many bicycle helmets in the world, but if I were asked, “What one would you recommend in a reasonable price range?”, I would recommend this product.
