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 Troy Lee Designs D4 Carbon Stealth Helmet.
The first thing is material. Looking at what Troy Lee Designs D4 Carbon Stealth Helmet 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 Troy Lee Designs 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.

- Description: Troy Lee Designs D4 Carbon Stealth HelmetTroy Lee Designs have yet again pushed the boundaries of mountain bike protection with their superb D4 Carbon Stealth Helmet. Sleek TLD style, outstanding comfort and the inclusion of the very latest impact-absorbing technologies create a helmet with unrivalled performance on the trail. If you’re charging downhill, ripping up gnarly trails and going big off the biggest booters then things won’t always go smoothly or to plan. For those times when you hit the ground after casing the landing, push grip too far or get your line wrong the D4 Carbon Stealth Helmet ensures you can get up, dust yourself off and keep riding. It starts with the TeXtreme® Spread tow carbon fibre shell, giving the D4 incredible strength while keeping weight to the minimum. This shell covers the EPS foam shock-absorbing core – if you hit your head it’s this core that will absorb the forces and protect your head from the impact. To boost strength and durability Troy Lee also uses In-mould polycarbonate around vent openings and exposed EPS, making this a lid you can use day after day without fear. Lastly, MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) provides excellent brain-injury prevention – more on that below.Ventilation is also fabulously realised. The outer vents bring in fresh, cooling air and this is allowed to circulate easily thanks to carefully designed channels and integration with the headliner. It’s like a turbo-charger for your head. Speaking of the liner, this is the XT2 washable design. Lesser helmets will use standard foam liners which after continued use can soon start to feel uncomfortable and even itchy. Not the XT2. This anti-bacterial liner ensures no nasty odours or itchiness, and being washable you’ll be able to keep it fresh for every ride. Fresh, lightweight and cool mountain biking is now here for you to enjoy, even in a fully-featured full-face helmet.What is MIPS?Multi-directional Impact Protection System (MIPS) is a proven system that reduces the rotational forces on the brain when you’re involved in a crash. The forces are absorbed and redirected to prevent them from being transmitted to the brain.
