Buying Your YAKKAY Helmet Online
There are obviously some drawbacks to buying bicycle helmets online. Specifically, it's always nice to try bicycle helmets on, but we're here to explain that it's definitely not impossible to find the right fit. In addition, buying bicycle helmets online can save you a lot of hassle.
From my experience in talking with customers and helping them find the right helmet, here are some tips and advice for buying your bicycle helmets online:
2. Choose a cover. This will largely depend on the type of hat you would usually wear. If you're more comfortable with a cap style, the YAKKAY Paris Helmet is for you. If prefer a sunhat/trilby style, then go for the YAKKAY Tokyo Helmet. When choosing a color option for a particular helmet style, it is a good idea to think about what color/shade clothes you usually wear and which color will compliment your everyday outfits. By doing this, you will be choosing a timeless bicycle helmet option.
3. Familiarize yourself with the helmet. So you've selected your cover and size, placed your order with us at The Bicycle Muse and your YAKKAY helmet has arrived. Here's an instructional video from YAKKAY to show you how to put the cover on the helmet, how to ensure the helmet is sitting in the correct position and how to apply the sponge pads.
YAKKAY Helmets Inspire Stylish Change
When you first put the helmet on it does feel a little like wearing a bowl, but this is where the sponge pads come in! The sponge pads are truly a great idea, as everyone has a different shaped head, to give you the flexibility to fit the helmet specifically to your head. You may also find when you first put it on and look in the mirror, that the helmet looks bigger than a hat would! This is fairly obvious as there is a helmet underneath. We often get customers who initially feel self conscious for this reason. Usually, they find that once they have have worn it a few times they get used to it and the compliments they receive about their new stylish bike helmet outweigh any worries!
Also, YAKKAY Helmets feel very light and are comfortable to wear whilst cycling. The ventilation holes and the circular pads ensure you get air circulating within the helmet, so you don't get too hot and sweaty.
So following my own advice, I've measured my head and at 56cm I am a Medium. The Blue Stripe YAKKAY Tokyo Helmet is very similar to my sunhat and I wear lots of navy clothes, so this seems like the obvious choice and I am rather pleased with it!
