For years, you had two options for a bike helmet: a sleek and aerodynamic road helmet that suggested you probably spent your free time shaving your legs, or a clunky thing that made you look like a five-year-old in a hand-me-down lid. Thankfully, helmet-makers have adopted a more stylish approach to design recently. Here are five commuter helmets that are so good looking, you鈥檒l actually want to wear them.
Thousand Premium ($95)
Is ostentatious? Hell yes, but that鈥檚 why we love it. Also, the retro cut makes us feel like we're in a 鈥60s motorcycle gang. And that鈥檚 what riding bikes is all about, right?
Bern Union ($90)
keep you cool while liquid foam increases the strength to weight ratio but it鈥檚 the removable flip visor that we dig the most.
Sawako 贵耻谤耻苍辞听Crocodile ($155)
聽has a women's specific design and is covered in hand-stitched faux crocodile leather.
Lazer Street DLX ($60)
The wood grain shell of this helmet is unique but it also has including 16 vents, leather straps, and a one-handed magnetic buckle system.
Bolle Messenger Premium ($90)
