Bike Helmet, Basecamp Bicycle Helmet with Rear Light & Detachable Magnetic Goggles Lightweight Cycling Helmet Adjustable for Adult Men Women Mountain & Road (BC-069)

TLDR; I've been using this helmet for a few years now and it's a good budget helmet. LED is not very useful, but I really love the visor! It recently saved me in a crash and I'll be buying another one. Features: VISOR This is by far my favorite feature, that I'll spend most of my time writing about. It seems to be mostly a feature in budget helmets, but I wish more helmet manufacturers would adopt this option. I personally love the visor/shield because it doesn't fog up as easily as glasses in colder weather or get affected by sweat on my face, yet still keeps the wind and debris out of my eyes. It comes with a tinted visor, but I also purchased an additional clear visor for night/evening riding. There is also a yellow visor option. It attaches pretty securely via magnets and because they are magnetic, it allows me to stack visors in case I want to bring more than one. This allows me an easy way to bring along the tinted as well as the clear visor when my rides start in daylight but end at night. When I take two visors, I only orient one down and the other visor up, so I still only have one visor in front of my eyes, but that's just my preference. However, the biggest reason I love the visor is after a recent crash that sent me flying to the pavement where THE VISOR MANAGED TO PROTECT MY EYES AND FACE FROM SIGNIFICANT INJURY. I still suffered some impact and abrasions, but that is miniscule compared to the damage I would have sustained if the visor were not in the way. The visors sometimes do scratch up (not just from crashes), but replacements are reasonably cheap and I have ordered several over the years. I've seen some fancier helmets with fancier visors, but as a result, the replacement visors were also pretty expensive. LED Light The rear LED lights seems like a great idea, but on my helmet, it would pop out too easily. It is only held in by friction. If lighting is an important helmet feature, I would look at other helmets. Comfort The helmet is well-vented and comfortable riding year-round in Southern California. If it gets chillier, I use a riding cap underneath, but climates here don't get as cold as other locales. The helmet contains a removable mesh liner with padding that is attached to the shell via velcro stickers. The mesh can be removed for cleaning, but be gentle when washing, as the materials eventually all fell apart on me. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a replacement, so ended up buying after-market velcro pads as a substitute. The velcro stickers also come off sometimes, but those can be replaced pretty easily. The helmet fit can be adjusted via a wheel in the back. Overall, aside from the visor, this is a pretty good basic helmet. A MIPS option would be nice, but I don't expect this feature in a helmet in this price range.

This is a really nice helmet for the price. It's light weight and well ventilated. The inside cushion makes it very comfortable. I especially like the face shield, but wish the tint was little darker. My only complaint is that chin strap is not very thick, allowing the adjustment buckles below the ear to slide, but it's not a major problem, and it doesn't cause any looseness. Sharp color options, and a nice look. My head measures 22 inches, which is borderline Medium or Large. I went with the Medium, and the fit is very good, even with my cold weather liner.

This is without a doubt the best bike helmet I've ever owned! The helmet has different points of adjustment so that the helmet can be customized to your head so that it fits securely and offers the desired protection without being uncomfortable. The detachable magnetic goggles are a huge plus and easy to put on or take off as needed. Using the goggles is much easier and more comfortable than wearing sunglasses. The rear light is also a plus, anything that helps other drivers to see you is a great benefit. I highly recommend this bike helmet and would purchase it again. An update - I was recently in a pretty bad wreck on my bicycle, shattering my elbow. I flew over the handle bars and landed face down on the pavement. The bike helmet and visor saved me from having more serious injuries. It protected my head, nose, face and glasses. I highly recommend this helmet and strongly encourage you to wear the visor- both items worked together to prevent my injuries from being worse. I will be ordering a replacement helmet soon.

Fantastic for the price! This helmet feels similar to far more expensive ones I've purchased, and carries the additional nice features of a built-in rear light and a very nice visor system that allows for using one visor while storing another on the helmet (so you can switch between a sun-shade and a neutral visor) or storing two visors on the helmet if you don't want to use one. The only negatives I can see are (1) the helmet does not have the MIPS system and might be less protective than more expensive helmets (though my guess is that it offers a similar level of protection as it seems otherwise to use the same materials and design as more expensive helmets), (2) the visors scratch easily (but can be replaced at a low cost) and (3) it looks like it will be difficult to install a new battery in the rear light.

Usually dont write reviews, but got this helmet and am impressed. Lightweight, 25 vents for airflow, and the visor is great, keeps the sun out of the eyes as well as debris that the wind might be blowing around. For the price, a great helmet

I really like this helmet. it is easy to adjust the straps, and it fits comfortably on my head. I like the blue color, and it has a good amount of padding in it. It is very light weight so that makes me worry of its ability for protection my head and the visor is awesome. The visibility on the visor is great on regular sunny days but not in the dark.

Lightweight, visible light, and convenient magnetic sun shade makes for a nice ride on daily commutes.

We bought a pair of these Basecamp helmets a year ago and comfortably rode with them ~100 miles a month since hoping we would never have to “test” their crash capabilities and yesterday my wife’s head was literally saved (see pic) from a major head injury yesterday after she was struck from her bike by a slow moving car. Note the crumpled zone on the helmet (see pic) where her helmet contacted the pavement after the hit which did a great job absorbing the blow. We just ordered an exact Basecamp helmet replacement for her for our future rides. We both like the adjustable fit twist knob which comfortably holds the helmet in place with the adjustable straps. My wife also appreciates the magnetic gray tinted visor which she prefers over sunglasses as it breaks the wind / protects her eyes and allows her the free use of her hearing aids without sunglasses. These helmets to us are sporty, not too heavy, and overall are a good value.

Es ligero, aerodinámico, cómodo y con un diseño excelente. Cumple con calidad-precio. Lo usé en ruta y downhill y es muy estable. Ventilación suficiente.

Es ligero pero con un terminado corriente. Muy voluminoso, es más bien para usar en ciudad, no para la ruta

questionable quality, still from safety point of view, it does its job.

very comfortable and visor very clear can really protect your eyes from the sunlight.
