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 Bell Youth Sidetrack II MIPS Helmet 2020.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Bell Youth Sidetrack II MIPS Helmet 2020 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 Bell 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.
Comparing Prices
Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Helmets.
It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. 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. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

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.

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.

- Description: Bell Youth Sidetrack II MIPS HelmetYoung mountain bikers will love the comfort and protection afforded by the Bell Youth Sidetrack II MIPS Helmet. When ripping up MTB trails the MIPS technology ensures their head is protected when they take a fall. If young riders are pushing their skills and progressing with their trail riding then crashes are an inevitable part of life. However, the Youth Sidetrack II MIPS Helmet keeps them safe when it goes a bit wrong. The Sidetrack makes use of the same Fusion In-mould technology as Bell’s adult helmets. A durable and tough polycarbonate outer shell is bonded directly to the shock-absorbing foam inner, giving a helmet tough enough for daily riding and one that soaks up impacts when they crash. Getting the right fit is essential for safety and here you’ll get the easy to use and precise adjustment of the Ergo fit system. The dial system allows one-handed adjustment, even on the go. Complementing this are the No-twist tri-glides. These quick-adjust fasteners keep the straps flat and positioned perfectly. Less fuss. More mountain biking time. Comfort is also enhanced thanks to the Sweat Guide brow padding, this draws away moisture before it can cause discomfort or sting the eyes. MIPS System (Multi-directional Impact Protection System)The Youth Sidetrack II Helmet is designed to dissipate the energy from a crash and this is achieved via the EPS body and the MIPS System (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). This MIPS is integrated with the fit system to give a sleeker, lighter and less complex helmet that fits closely to the head.What is MIPS?• MIPS is a Brain Protection System• Rotational motion can cause brain injuries• The low friction layer allows a sliding movement of 10–15 mm, in all directions, reducing rotational motion to the brain during impact• MIPS adds protectionFeatures:Fusion in-mould polycarbonate shellMIPS® technology14 VentsErgo Fit systemSnap-In VisorNo-Twist Tri-GlideSweat Guide paddingPinchGuard BuckleBuy Bell Helmets from Chain Reaction Cycles.
