Choosing the Right Helmet for Mountain Biking

When it comes to selecting a helmet for mountain biking, the Laser Jackal with Kinetic Court from Laser's Road Arrow helmet lineup emerges as a top choice. The protective coverage and visibility of the Laser Jackal make it ideal for fun rides despite being slightly heavier. On the other hand, the Laser Z1 helmet, worn by the speaker last year, offers a great fit and comfort, making it a preferred option. The Laser Vento, part of Laser's Road Arrow range, stands out as a solid choice for speed-intensive sections and headwind scenarios, as suggested by a conversation with a professional racer and brand ambassador during the Sea Otter event.
