Triple 8 Brainsaver EPS Unisex Rubber Helmet

Used as a cycle replacement helmet. The “rubber” description is a bit misleading and could put people off. It’s not made of rubber, it’s a rubberised plastic shell.
It feels good quality and is reasonably comfortable and fits well. I have. 58 headband ordered large. The padding strips could be thicker for better comfort but these are available through other sources so no biggy

I commute to work on cycle, in the summer ive been using a Giro Helmet, as its gotten colder and darker i wanted something with less vents because of cold air and with more protection.

* I have a very large cranium, its got its own moon and seasons, i have struggled with sizes of helmets and hats for years, this large size fits very well. Its snug without being overly tight, i would have loved a little extra cushioning by means of interchangeable pad inserts, you do get some with it but they are like for like, which in fairness is also a decent feature.

*The helmet is less than a hundred grammes heavier than my Giro lid which is very lightweight, at under 450g its light considering the amount of plastic casing it has.

* I still wanted some vents to allow partial air travel into the lid, this does just that, theres no need to get sweaty in a full lid. I didnt think i could fit a helmet mounted light, or a camera if i decide to get one, however i have done using cable ties as pictured. One tip would be not to tighten them too much as they could cut into the foam, however they are not noticeable on the head when wearing.

* After a month of wearing it has not become less comfortable, the pads are intact and cushioning remains the same as the day i put it on, it feels robust, its obviously got a lot of fans in extreme sports so the fact its also so versatile as an everyday commuter lid is great.

* With having minimal vents i find it useful for storing gloves, keys etc, something i couldnt do before with a fully vented lid.

* The chin strap is totally adjustable and fairly easy to do, fits right under the chin and doesnt sit on it, a cushioned pad might be useful if you want it really tight but you can easily make one yourself out of the extra pads supplied if necessary.

* It appears solid, im not shy in chucking it around and so far no scratches or dents etc, that said the ultimate sturdiness test is a crash and not something you really want to test! I feel confident however it would perform well and so for me this is the most important factor.

* Overall its a fantastic looking helmet, the large size is nice and snug and its lightweight but with obvious protection advantages over a more traditional cycle helmet. Buy one if your looking for a well made premium helmet thats both great looking and sturdy!

I’ve added some photos as I think it will help you decide. I wanted a bright colour for visibilty which covers a larger portion of my skull, it’s lightweight, fits my head well using the sizing guide in description, and the outer shell feels sturdy. Easy to put on and remove and has ventilation holes for airflow. I would recommend. Sunglasses fit well with helmet on.

The helmet arrived with two burned-like spots on the rubbery surface as if it had been stored on a window under the sun. This is not something that you want on your brand new white £50 helmet, honestly. Unfortunately, I have no substitution helmet and I don’t want to skate without protection 3 more weeks while a replacement arrives, so I am not in a position to ask for an exchange… It is a shame. Other than that the product looks sturdy, comfortable, and also very cool (if it wasn’t for the burned spots). It is also kinda round so while the forehead fits perfectly, there’s some extra space on the sides, but I think this is something that would change depending on the person wearing it.
