Myth: Any helmet is better than none
A poorly made helmet may not protect you adequately, even if it looks sturdy.
Always choose a helmet with proper safety approval rather than a random low-quality option.
Myth: You can break in a helmet
A helmet should fit correctly from the start. If it’s too loose or too tight, it will stay that way.
Use the right lining or a different size, not force the helmet to stretch into shape.
Myth: Darker helmets are cooler
Color matters less than ventilation and liner materials when staying cool in the sun.
Choose a light or bright helmet if you want better visibility and slightly lower heat absorption.
