Bontrager is a famous American bicycle accessories brand founded by Keith Bontrager, and safety helmets are one of Bontrager's many business branches. Generally speaking, although the safety standards of bicycle, skateboard and roller skating helmets are the same, they can generally be mixed, but in order to get the best professional fit, it is usually recommended to refer to the official statement of the brand, and it is not recommended to mix them. Bontrager's helmets, on the other hand, are built for cycling and are very suitable for riding characteristics, which are not so suitable for other areas.
Bontrager has long been synonymous with top-of-the-line bikes and bike gear, and has an excellent reputation in the industry. In the U.S. Consumer Reports, Bontrager's $40 Solstice Youth helmet received the highest rating of Excellent in terms of impact energy absorption, wearing gear and ease of use, and won first place in the junior bike helmet category with a score of 82. In addition, the Solstice Youth is also available in a MIPS version, which costs $30 more than the non-MIPS version of the helmet and better reduces the possibility of concussion during a collision.
Priced at $35, the Little Dipper and Big Dipper are Bontrager's cycling helmets for younger kids, and they're identical in their manufacturing process, wearing gear, and easy-to-use knobs. The style of the helmet is mainly solid color, and the rear of the helmet is also designed with reflective elements, which is more recognizable and increases the safety of children's riding. The only difference between the two helmets is the difference in the head circumference, which is suitable for children aged 2-4 years and 4-7 years old, respectively. In addition, Bontrager has equipped the two cycling helmets with MIPS padding, which are about $25 more expensive than the regular version.
