bicycle helmets sizes image

I am looking through a bicycling catalog and the prices range from $25 to over $150 for bicycling helmets. I would assume they all have to meet guidelines for protecting your head - surely the more expensive ones will not protect it 5 times better. There seems to be a thing about the number of air vents. I notice the weight between them all is nearly the same. Other than air vents, what advantages would I notice as a user if I went with a mid priced helmet over the cheapest helmet?
Answer
Weight, venting, and marketing make up the biggest differences in the cost of helmets. Helmets must meet the same standards, so the function of all the helmets is presumably equivalent. However, one way that manufacturers make some models less is expensive is to make less sizes. For example, using 2 molds instead of 3 saves the company development, manufacturing, and distribution costs, but it means less size options for you to get a helmet that fits well.
When it comes to comfort and safety, a good fit is the most important factor. More expensive helmets tend to come in a larger variety of sizes with more control over chin strap and back-of-the-head adjustments. I have found helmets with tensioning systems on the back of the helmet to be the most comfortable and to have the most secure fit.
Definitely go to a bike shop with lots of models and sizes in stock, and then try on a wide variety of options to see what fits your head and your wallet best.

is there anyway to disinfect a bicycle helmet?

I just got a used bicycle helmet for my niece and was wondering, is there any possible way to disinfect it just because I worry about it being used thank you in advance for your answers
Answer
Unfortunately, you can't disassemble or bring down to pieces a bicycle helmet for an easy disinfection process. So I would suggest for you to put a clean water in a bucket (size can accommodate the helmet totally), almost 3/4 full and mix it with few drops of liquid soap and disinfectant (i.e. Lysol or whatever is your preference). Submerge the helmet on it and dip for several times, brush the straps thoroughly and then rinse with clean, plain water, and finally, hang to dry outdoor. Helmets' cover are mostly made of plastic while the helmet itself is of Styrofoam so it won't take long for the helmet to be completely dry.
Hope this helps.
