Product Description
Lazer creates the Helium Helmet with an in-molded shell like its predecessor, the Genesis. The Helium goes one further and incorporates an in-molded shell portion that wraps around into the interior of the brow of the helmet. It covers the forehead and above the ears. It's an added safety detail that we think makes a lot of sense, as it helps the helmet resist chunking when your head hits the ground. And it also helps protect the edge of the helmet foam from damage in your gear bag during transport. In another improvement in overall crash protection over the Genesis, the Helium uses a woven composite, let's affectionately call it silver carbon, to span the bridges between the main ribs of the helmet. Lazer calls it RBS (Rigidity Brace System). We could perhaps think of better acronyms, but we think what actually matters is that the composite adds some serious strength to the design while nonetheless being a similar weight as the Genesis. Part of this weight savings comes from the use of dual density EPS foam with denser, stronger foam in the areas of greater likelihood of impact.The Lazer Helium has 19 huge vents so airflow won't be a problem on hot days, and the pads that come with it are made with X-Static, a fabric with silver treated threads, so they're antimicrobial and your helmet will stink less. The Helium benefits from Lazer's Rollsys retention system. It has a wheel tucked into the very top of the helmet that takes up slack in the cradle system via a thin cable. The Rollsys system creates perhaps the most even fit of any helmet on the market. In fact, depending on your fit, it will better accommodate the difference between cycling cap and no cap compared to nearly any other helmet out there. (And when you have a clean shaven head like Team Katusha's Sergey Ivanov, a cycling cap is an often but not always needed accessory during the spring season.) The cradle at the back of the head drops securely beneath your occipital bump and since the wheel for the rete

Very comfortable Helmet for big headed people. It is so comfortable that I don't even know I have it on. I purchased both the Helium and the O2 in size XXL. I could easily see the difference in quality, so I kept this more expensive Helium model. It has quality straps that appear to magnetically snap together securely with a quick and easy release. It is nice looking too.

By Appreciative.
If you (like me) are a large person and have a big brain (I mean a really big head!)and buying head gear causes anxiety, please take a deep breath.
This helmet is what you are looking for.
I cannot find hats in any store. I don't even try. I have to order them on-line and my options are very few.
I never before purchased a piece of head gear that fit (let alone fit well)
Believe it or not this helmet is slightly (very slightly) larger than my head.
I actually have to adjust it down a little bit!!! What a wonderful feeling...
This company has done wonders for people like me. Thank you.

I cannot say enough great things about this helmet. I have gotten into serious biking over the last few years and slowly upgrading my equipment and it was time for a new helmet. I had heard about the Lazer from my local bike shop, and I always try and buy local, but this was not carried by anyone around here so off to Amazon! It fits like a dream, no pressure points, easy on/easy off, and when you dial in the tightness with the thumb wheel (conveniently located on top of the helmet and not in back) it is not going to leave your head until you take it off yourself. Too many riders bike with helmets that do not fit correctly. I honestly cannot see how that could happen with this helmet. Very light weight, but the specs on the internal reinforcement make it the safest helmet I have ever owned. Good overall ventilation. I wish it were a little cheaper, but hey, it's my head, and I'm willing to pay a bit more for quality.
