Bluegrass Brave Helmet 2017 features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Helmets. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Bluegrass Brave Helmet 2017.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Bluegrass Brave Helmet 2017 is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Helmets. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Helmets. Brands like Bluegrass are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Helmets category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for.

Bluegrass Brave Helmet 2017 Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Bluegrass Brave Helmet 2017 reviews there.

Owner reviews, as we say, are one of the most important pieces of research that we can do before we buy.

• Description: Bluegrass Brave HelmetThe Bluegrass Brave is the first helmet on the market using D3O inserts which enables the helmet to withstand double the number of impacts compared to a normal composite construction, over different areas of the shell.The Brave is engineered to give the best airflow over and through the helmet and is also ASTM certified and Eject system compatible. The Brave is the gold standard of full-face helmets.Features: Outer Shell Construction: Composite V.I.D. Inner Shell: Impact resistant expandable polystyrene beads Chin Strap Buckle: Double-D buckle Straps: MX style straps, integrated rivet & metal plate anchor, removable chin strap, washable padding Active Safety: Embedded D3O¬†inserts, Airflow_2_Chin, no hearing loss Visor: XXL Field of vision, micrometric adjustable visor with two point attachment, flexible injection material Comfort: Fully removable internal padding Compatibility: Eject bag, MOPOV video support, goggle, neck-brace compatible Certification: ASTM, CE Discipline: Enduro/DH/BMX Weight: XS/S: 1013g; M: 1034g; L/XL: 1085gTechnologies: V.I.D. Composite Construction:¬†The Bluegrass research and development team has designed its own IT software called Virtual Impact Data, which enables it to test its helmets virtually even before building a 3D model. The Brave is available in 3 shell sizes. The smallest is for XS and S, Medium for M, and the biggest for L and XL sizes. Compare that with other brands. 3 different shell sizes ensure that the exterior helmet volume is in proportion to your head size. EPS Intelligent Fusion Shell With Integrated Air Channels:¬†Brain protection should be a helmet’s primary mission. The EPS inner-shell was designed to dissipate the force of an impact and prevent the brain from hitting the skull in the event of an accident. It also has an integrated network of channels, which circulate air from external intake vents around the inside of the helmet. Thanks to the Intelligent Fusion process, Bluegrass goes even further by using different densities of material depending on the characteristics of each model to improve the weight/volume ratio, while optimising the shock absorption capacity. D3O Inserts:¬†The D3O inserts that are fitted in the Brave shell are the result of highly innovative technology. They are made from an orange-coloured tactile polymer material, which is composed of intelligent molecules. These are free flowing when at rest but lock (polymerise) on impact, dissipating kinetic energy. MX-Style Visor With Two-Point Attachment:¬†This allows super fine-tuning of the visor position. Attached using aluminium screws. The visor naturally seats at the point of maximum air pressure on the helmet. The visor of the Brave is designed to provide the minimum drag. It is easy to use with goggles and gives maximum field of vision. Chin Guard With Integrated Airflow_2_Chin Air Inflow Vents:¬†Professional riders who helped develop the Brave helmets insisted from the outset on how important it is to have air vents on the chin guard as good respiration is essential for high-performance. Bluegrass listened and went on to create the most ventilated chin guard on the market. Its design was also dictated by its search to find the best ratio between maximum protection and minimum bulk. No Hearing Loss:¬†It has long been known that there is a strong link between hearing loss and the risk of accidents. Not all full-face helmet designers take the problem as seriously as Bluegrass do. Eject Compatible:¬†The Eject helmet removal system was designed to aid safer removal of the helmet by using an airbag, which is placed inside the top shell of the helmet. The bag can be inflated to help the removal of the helmet and to reduce the damage to the spine (Eject bag not included). Straps/Dividers:¬†Fearlessly throwing yourself down dizzyingly high ramps doesn’t mean you don’t pay attention to small details, which make life more comfortable. The anti-pinch buckle is for those who love excitement as well as refinement. The buckle that closes the strap system under the chin has been designed to avoid pinching. Padding:¬†Washable anti-allergenic interior pads. The interior pads are vitally important for helmet comfort. We only use anti-allergenic fabric varying the thickness according to the position in the helmet. They are hand-washable. MOPOV Video Support Kit:¬†Now anyone can film themselves while riding and to help you Bluegrass have designed the MOPOV (My Own Point Of View) kit, which allows you to fit your on board camera onto your helmet in a flash. This lightweight, removable kit is fitted on the side of the helmet. The system is suitable for multi brands. Nothing remains on the helmet after use. The self-adhesive fitting on your camera fixes to the MOPOV and not to the helmet itself.Buy¬†Bluegrass Protection¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
