How about the Louis Garneau cycling helmet brand introduction

Louis Garneau retired from the sport after winning his 150th medal and began using his experience to make bicycle-related products out of a passion for cycling. Today, Louis Garneau is one of the highest-end brands in the bicycle industry, and unlike other high-end bicycle brands, differentiation is Louis Garneau's main product strategy, which can be seen in Louis Garneau's BMX bikes and road bikes with unique styles. Louis Garneau is also a big fan of the bicycle market, accounting for 50% of Canada's safety helmets, bicycles and ski wear, and can be seen in all famous events.
 
Garneau is a strong player in cycling helmets, having developed and applied its MSB technology, which refers to a ring-shaped plastic ring at the bottom of the helmet to enhance the helmet's protection. In addition, Garneau has partnered with MIPS to introduce the MIPS system to increase helmet safety. However, Garneau currently only has three helmets, the Raid MIPS, Vitesse and Sally MIPS, with the MIPS system.
 
The Raid MIPS, Vitesse and Sally MIPS all feature the Spiderlock series of fine adjustment knobs, which allow you to adjust the tightness of the helmet with one hand while riding, making it easy to use. Priced at just $100, the Raid MIPS outperforms the Vitesse in weight and ventilation design, and has also received a 5-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab for high safety. In addition, the visor brim can be moved up and down to adjust the position according to the sun's rays for optimal sun protection.
 
The $150 Vitesse helmet is designed to be comfortable to wear, and users can add padding to fit their actual experience for "customized" comfort. Priced at $80, the Sally MIPS has a smaller head circumference range and is Garneau's helmet based on women's head circumference, making it more comfortable for female users. Weighing only 275g, Le Tour II is lightweight and comfortable, making it more suitable for long rides. The reflective elements on the helmet also improve visibility at night and improve the safety of the driver at night. It is worth mentioning that although the Le Tour II does not have a MIPS system, it has also received a 4-star rating from the Virginia Tech Helmet Lab, which is very safe and is currently priced at $50.
