Compared to other big names, LITTLE was founded in 2005 and is quite young. But from the very beginning, they have had a strong focus on technology, working closely with sports science experts as well as brain science experts. In 2014, it became the protective gear supplier to the professional cycling team Cannondale, and subsequently established an exclusive partnership with Volvo Car Group to provide safety and design ideas. Since its inception, LITTLE has received more than 40 prestigious international awards in the safety, design and innovation categories around the world. In terms of design, it won the 2010 IF Design Gold Award, and won the Red Dot Design Award in 2009 and 2010.
 
As a first-tier LITTLE product, the Skull Orbic Comp is particularly distinctive, compromising safety for both lightness and breathability. In terms of shell material, the same hybrid scheme is adopted, using ABS material in high-impact areas, and PC material for the rest of the part. In terms of buffer layer, instead of the EPS used in the mainstream market, EPP with higher density and higher price is used, and it is a double-layer EPP buffer layer. The inside of the helmet is equipped with a SPIN padding with the same effect as MIPS. In addition to this, there is a professional jaw guard, and the sides of the helmet are acoustically optimised so that the wearer can better understand their surroundings.
 
All of this makes the Skull Orbic Comp more than a notch higher in terms of security, but at the same time, the price has skyrocketed to $400. Not only that, but like most professional racing helmets, there are no additional vents and the helmet weighs 652g, which means that if you exercise for a little longer, your cervical spine may be slightly tired.
 
In comparison, LITTLE's second-tier products are much more suitable for the general public. Artic SL, the price of $260 returns to the normal range, the combination of ABS shell, single-layer EPP cushion layer and SPIN safety liner makes the safety performance very safe, and the weight is controlled around 450g, which is a middleweight snow helmet, and like the Skull Orbic Comp, it also contains a chin guardrail. In addition, there are a total of 10 vents, of which the top 6 are adjustable passive vents, and the front and rear are 2 non-adjustable active vents.
 
The Artic SL is worth back $260 for the above equipment alone, but what really shows the user's humanity is that it also has an integrated signal transmitter inside, which can be used by emergency contacts to conduct a field search and rescue if the wearer encounters misfortune in the field, so as to minimize the worst-case outcome.
 
WHEN IT COMES TO VALUE FOR MONEY, THE RECEPTOR BUG ADJUSTABLE 2.0, WHICH COSTS JUST $99, IS CLEARLY A PRODUCT THAT CAN'T BE BYPASSED. Full ABS material, VDSAP patent, equipped with double shell, strong puncture resistance, mainstream EPS buffer layer, 8 vents, the fly in the ointment is that the weight is a little out of control, reaching 550g, but considering the price, obviously this weight is also completely acceptable.
 
IN TERMS OF DESIGN, RECEPTOR BUG ADJUSTABLE 2.0 HAS BEEN CRITICIZED BY SOME USERS, BUT IT IS USUALLY COMPARED WITH OTHER MORE EXPENSIVE STYLES UNDER THE LITTLE UMBRELLA. Aside from the price factor, the design of this helmet is not up to par for LITTLE, but it is still at the upper middle level in the entire industry.
