Priority & budget
Why Helmet matters
★★★★★Suggested budget: 25%

Critical protection for the head and brain. Verify ECE 22.06 and rotational tech; balance weight with ventilation for long technical days.

Fit matters

Comfort first for hard enduro

Long rides magnify small discomforts. Prioritize fit: if an item hurts or distracts after 2–3 hours, it’s the wrong size or setup. Return or exchange when possible. Remember, bodies and conditions differ.

Context
How to think about Helmet

We personally recommend top choices here because helmet has outsized safety and control impact. Allocate more budget, verify certifications, and choose proven models. Still prioritize fit: comfort maintains control on long technical days.
