At times, in spite of your bike is equipped with lights might just not be enough. Needless to say, if you happen to ride on dark roads, wearing the best bike helmet with lights can make all the difference.
Recently, we were contacted by haloglow helmets from the UK to review their best bike helmet with lights. The helmet is unique and comes with integrated LED light all the way to ensure visibility from all directions 360 degrees.

When it comes to safety, the quality of haloglow helmet really stands out at the price at which it is available. It is fused with EPS high energy absorbing foam shell that makes it tougher. Besides, the outer shell also wraps around the bottom of the helmet for added protection.
The LED lights make the rider visible from the side where over 70% of accidents occur. Thus making it safer for you when you invade the roads in the dark. This best bike helmet with light has been tested to withstand temperatures -20̊ C to 120̊C as well.
These helmets also come with an injected colour stripe that adds visual impact to the fibre even during daytime.
Besides, it complies with EU EN1078 and North America CPSC safety standard compliant.

The helmet is available in 2 sizes M 52–56cm and L 56–62cm. It is one of the most comfortable helmets we have ever tried so far. This is large because the helmet comes with in-mould technology that makes it possible to offer a good fit. Moreover, the easy-to-use large rear adjustor dial is what lets you get a custom fit.

The straps of the helmet are wide, light and strong. The helmet comes with a low stretch nylon cord with more ventilation holes. There’s also a padded chin strap that makes it super comfortable and no irritation below the chin.
