    Frequently Asked Questions

    A proper bike helmet should fit snugly on your head without being too tight. It should sit about one finger's width above your eyebrows and should not shift or move when you shake your head. The chin strap should be adjusted so that it's snug, but you should still be able to slide one finger under the strap. Make sure the helmet is level and doesn’t tilt forward or backward.

    Most bike helmets have a recommended lifespan of around 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and care. Over time, the materials in the helmet can degrade, which affects its ability to protect you. If your helmet appears to be damaged or was involved in an accident, it is essential to replace it earlier.

    If a helmet has been dropped or involved in a crash, even if there’s no visible damage, its protective capabilities could be compromised. Helmets are designed to absorb shocks during an accident, and dropping one could weaken its structure. To be safe, it's recommended to replace any helmet that has sustained a significant impact.

    So, what makes a great bike helmet? Most importantly, all our bike helmets have undergone extensive testing inline with specific safety standards for Australia. You can therefore guarantee that you’ll pick a helmet fit for the job if you shop with us.

    Other safety features include in-mould construction, which is a manufacturing method that enhances the protective quality and durability of the helmet. Simply put, it's when the helmet’s hard outer shell and inner foam layer are fused together as the helmet is moulded. This makes for a more robust structure.

    Next thing to think about is the fit. Ensure that you buy a helmet that fits your head perfectly. Too loose and it won’t provide adequate protection and may fall. Too tight and it will feel uncomfortable. Check out the size guides and specifications available to view on our product pages to get a better idea of which size helmet would fit you.

    Fortunately, helmets are adjustable allowing you to tailor it to your head size. Ventilation is also an important factor. The helmets we stock offer ultimate protection alongside cooling air outlets. These allow for adequate air circulation even in higher temperatures. 

    The type of biking you do also influences your bike helmet choice. There are streamlined road biking helmets for speed. Or go for a full face mountain biking helmet for all-around protection on more adventurous trails. Browse through our ranges to choose one to suit your style.

    With all this in mind, where you shop is key. Buying your biking helmet from a specialist retailer such as Oz Backcountry guarantees you get a fit for purpose product and excellent customer service from a knowledgeable team.

    In addition to your new bike helmet , perhaps consider upgrading your other biking accessories? From sunglasses to gear bags and more. Whatever your biking needs, we’ve got you covered. Don’t forget, you can chat to our friendly customer service team if you have any questions. They will be happy to advise and point you in the right direction before making your perfect purchase.
