Bicycle Helmets for Everyday Use, Travel, and Camping Vacations
A well-fitting bike helmet is an essential piece of gear for bike tours, your daily commute, and trips from the campground. It should fit comfortably, be adjustable to the shape of your head, and stay in place while riding.
At Berger Camping, you’ll find bike helmets from Abus and Dunlop, as well as accessories for select helmet models. The selection includes classic bike helmets, models with built-in lights, and additional accessories such as taillights, visors, ear protectors, and remote controls.
Which bike helmet is right for you?
Everyday Helmets
A classic bike helmet is ideal for everyday rides, outings, and leisurely bike tours. A comfortable fit, the right size, and easy adjustment to your head are key.
Bicycle Helmets with LEDs
An integrated LED or a compatible taillight can improve visibility in traffic. This is especially useful when riding at dusk, early in the morning, or in bad weather.
Helmets with an accessory system
Select helmets can be enhanced with compatible accessories. These include, for example, magnetic visors, ear covers, additional taillights, or a remote control for lighting functions.
Greater Visibility with LEDs and Taillights
Lighting on a bicycle helmet can be a useful addition to the required bicycle lights. Because the light is positioned higher on the head, it is easily visible to other road users.
Depending on the model, an LED is either already integrated into the bicycle helmet or can be retrofitted as a compatible taillight. Some systems offer additional lighting functions that can be controlled while riding using a compatible remote control.
Important: A helmet light does not replace the required bicycle lights. It serves as an additional aid to help you be seen more clearly in traffic.
Helmet Accessories for Comfort and Weather Protection
With the right bike helmet accessories, you can adapt select models to different weather conditions and uses. Before purchasing, make sure the accessories are explicitly compatible with your helmet model.
What to Look for When Buying a Bicycle Helmet
How to Wear Your Bike Helmet Correctly
Place the helmet horizontally on your head. It should cover your forehead and not be pushed too far back. Adjust the strap system so that the helmet fits snugly but still feels comfortable.
The side straps should meet below the ears. There should be only a small gap between your chin and the chin strap. Once adjusted, the helmet should not slip noticeably when you shake your head.
Tip: Check the fit regularly—especially if the helmet is used by multiple people or if you’re wearing a thin cap under the helmet.
When should a bicycle helmet be replaced?
After a fall or a strong impact, a bicycle helmet should be replaced, even if there is no visible damage on the outside. The material inside may be compromised and may no longer provide reliable protection in the event of another accident.
Even without an accident, you should regularly check the helmet for cracks, deformations, damaged straps, and any loss of function in the adjustment system. Also, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding the helmet’s service life.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bicycle Helmets and Helmet Accessories
How do I find the right bike helmet size?
Measure your head circumference horizontally across your eyebrows and ears. Then compare the result with the helmet’s size chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, you should carefully check the fit.
How should a bicycle helmet fit?
The helmet should sit horizontally on your head, cover your forehead, and not shift noticeably. It shouldn’t be too tight, but it also shouldn’t be loose.
Is a bike helmet with an LED useful?
An LED on the helmet can further improve visibility in traffic. However, it does not replace the required lighting on the bicycle.
Can I retrofit a taillight to my bike helmet?
A compatible taillight can be retrofitted to select helmets. It is crucial that the accessory is compatible with the specific helmet model.
When should a bicycle helmet be replaced?
After a fall or a strong impact, the helmet should be replaced. Visible cracks, deformations, or damaged straps are also reasons to replace it.

No. Visors and other helmet accessories are generally designed for specific models or product lines. Therefore, always check the listed compatibility before purchasing.
