Best helmet

With a helmet, you can safely take part in all of the activities that give you that adrenaline rush you crave. The wearable hard-shelled guards will absorb the impact should an emergency occur. So you can feel safe practising tricks or simply cycling down a wooded trail. Whether you're rollerblading, biking, or skateboarding, there's a helmet to match. Here's a list of my top picks.

If you're looking for a helmet that can handle the bike park, this one has your back. It's made from ABS plastic with an EPS inner lining that's thick and flexible. Plus, it's comfortable—especially the adjustable chin strap. If you want this helmet to fit more snugly, it comes with extra padding for exactly that. Spend a day practising tricks at the park with this sweat-wicking helmet. 

If you're a cycling fanatic, this helmet is designed for you. Whether you're taking a casual pedal around the neighbourhood or a competitive tour, this helmet will keep you protected without creating extra wind resistance. To help with aerodynamics, the helmet has a sleek shape and adjustable visor. Comfort is also a factor with this helmet; it has 18 air vents that circulate air to keep your head cool.

Gear up for your next skateboarding session with this ultra-safe helmet by Mongoose. It's tough enough to keep your head protected as you land tricks, nurturing that inner Tony Hawk. Twelve built-in air vents maximize airflow as you ride to keep you cool enough to really focus on your technique. To keep everything in position, the adjustable chin strap provides the perfect fit. 

Calling all night owls! This helmet is just as nocturnal as you are. In addition to its midnight black colour, this helmet has got a rechargeable safety light that pierces through the darkness. The light has nine settings, so no matter the weather conditions, you'll stay visible on the trail. Wearing this helmet is easy too. Not only is it designed to allow great airflow, but it has moisture-wicking (and conveniently washable) padding that is soft and comfortable. I don't think there's ever been a safer, more convenient, and hygienic helmet!

Want a helmet that is ultra-safe for your kids? Look no further. Not only is this model made with a tough ABS shell and a thick EPS lining, but it is brightly coloured too. You'll never lose your child at the park because this neon green helmet can be spotted from a distance. The best part is the dinosaur character graphic because it'll get kids excited about sports safety. This helmet is lightweight and easy to wear, securing with an adjustable chin strap. It's also detailed with air vents that keep your kid's scalp cool while they're riding around.

The bottom line

The best helmet protects your noggin while encouraging you to engage in adrenaline-rushing activities. Whether you're cycling or boarding, the Triple 8 Brainsaver EPS unisex rubber helmet is ready to go. Not only is this helmet prepared for contact with a tough ABS shell and EPS liner, but it looks cool too. Rock this helmet on any half pipe.
