Thousand Chapter MIPS Adult Bike Helmet - LED Tail Light, Cycling & Bicycle Safety Certified, Lightweight & Low Profile, Men & Women, Lockable PopLock

I’m in love with my helmet, it is so comfortable and light weight, you can easily adjust it, the light on the back is very nice. Yeah I recommend it!

For years, I had been repeatedly targeted by ads for the Thousand bike helmet, and it's safe to say that their marketing strategy was effective. This helmet not only boasts a sleek and modern design but also lives up to the crucial task of keeping you safe while cycling. I knew it was only a matter of time before I made the decision to invest in one, opting for the real deal rather than a knockoff.When I recently purchased my new ebike, the topic of helmets became a pressing concern for my family, especially since I was consistently cruising at speeds of 28 mph. Safety was a paramount consideration. Thousand helmets had already received multiple recommendations from various articles, and the fact that this particular helmet came with a magnetic tail light, was available in an all-black design, and looked fantastic, made the decision a no-brainer for me. I didn't even have to think twice about it; I knew this was the right choice.I was particularly excited about the novelty of the magnetic hole for my bike lock. However, I quickly realized that my trusty Kryptonite lock was too thick to fit through it. In hindsight, I probably should have realized this just from looking at the images, but it didn't cross my mind at the time. Instead, I've been locking my bike up through the helmet straps, and surprisingly, it works just fine. I'm not entirely sure what someone would do with a helmet they've cut the straps off, but then again, I'm fortunate to live in a relatively safe neighborhood.All in all, I find it quite amusing that I've developed such a deep affection for a bike helmet. While I do wish I could utilize the lock feature, I acknowledge that it's more of a novelty, and the responsibility for not recognizing this limitation in advance falls squarely on me. In the future, I might consider changing locks or getting an additional cable to make use of this feature. However, if you're in the market for a sturdy, safety-conscious helmet with all the bells and whistles, I wholeheartedly recommend getting your hands on a Thousand helmet as soon as possible. It's a stylish and reliable choice that doesn't compromise on safety.

This helmet is very comfortable. It comes with a very bright led light that attaches to the back of the helmet. The strap is easy to use.

** INITIAL REVIEW: 2 stars ** (Scroll down to see update.)This helmet is gorgeous and incredibly lightweight, but the advice to size down if you’re on the cusp was 100% wrong for my head shape.My head is 57cm or hat size 7 1/8, and is a “long oval” shape, which means long front to back and narrow side to side. I wear:- a large in women’s hats- a medium in men’s hats- a medium in most bike helmets (Giro, Bell, etc.)- a medium in most motorcycle helmets (Shoei, Arai, etc.)(FWIW, the size medium in the Nutcase Street helmet — a competitor that a lot of people try before shelling out for this Chapter helmet — is too tight on me, and the large is comically big. That helmet just doesn’t work for me at all.)57 cm is on the cusp between small and medium in most helmets, including this one by Thousand. So following their fit advice as well as that of other reviewers — and against my own better judgment — I sized down to a small in this Chapter helmet.Bad move. :( It pinches my head front to back. Awful pressure points; immediately headache-inducing.It’s a beautiful helmet, but I’m annoyed at the misguided advice to size down. Now I need to exchange it for a different size. Will update my review pending a response from Thousand customer service.** UPDATE, two weeks later: 5 stars **Thousand customer service was great. They sent me a medium right from their warehouse in California, and it fits perfectly! Shipping was free. I returned the size small to Amazon.Now that the helmet fits correctly, I’ve explored all the accessories that come in the box.Based on other reviews, I think Thousand has fixed the issue with the magnetic USB tail-light turning on while charging. While I charged mine, only one small LED gently flickered (and then held steady when the charge was full). It certainly wasn’t blinking at full brightness while charging, like reviewers from previous years mentioned.The light does automatically turn on when it magnetically snaps on your helmet. And holy cow is it BRIGHT. I can see how this would be really useful in many cases but annoying in others.I love the pop-lock feature and can easily fit my U-lock through it.I’m convinced that, with MIPS, this is the best helmet on the market. It’s SO pretty and lightweight, it looks cool, it’s super functional, and I love the company’s free replacement policy. I love this helmet!

I got this for my e-bike and the fit is great. I really like the magnetic clasp, which is also easy to release only when you want it to release. Looks are cool and I don’t mind wearing a helmet as much since it is a nice design. Really like the extra MIPS protection it offers. Magnetic light on the back is ok. Not great. Super short battery life and it needs to be USB C for charging. But not a dealBreaker and the nice thing is that when it’s not on the helmet, it doesn’t look like anything is missing.

I’d read several reviews where customers were not satisfied with the fit but I decided I’d order the helmet and try. I’m very happy to report that the helmet fits me perfectly and was precise in the measurement. My head size is exactly at the high end of size “small” so I wasn’t Sure if I should size up but the size small is snug and not too tight. A few minutes fiddling with the straps and dial adjustment to get my exact fit and I’m off for a ride!

She loves the fit but is under-whelmed with light.
