As we’ve mentioned before, trying on helmets before you purchase them is always the best practice. You can find your local THE dealer through their website. If you’d like to see their size chart you can check it out here.
The carbon fiber version of the THE One helmet makes a great choice for those looking to keep cool and stay light. While the helmet weighs a decent amount less than the composite version, it still complies with CPSC and CE standards. THE didn’t skimp on the features of the One helmet and even included a nice helmet bag.
At roughly $75 more than the composite version you’ll have to ask yourself whether or not the weight is worth it. We know our answer but you’ll have to come up with yours on your own.
