Why Dashel Helmets Are Different
Are you often guilty of constantly 'forgetting' your helmet at home? It'd be different with a Dashel.
After spotting a gap in the market for cycle helmets that were as stylish as they were safe, we founded Dashel with a simple mission: make helmets people actually want to wear.
The result? Created by award-winning industrial designers and sustainably crafted in the UK, these helmets are built for urban riders who demand style, performance and protection. Read on for a more in-depth look at why you should make your next helmet a Dashel...

Why Dashel Helmets Are Different:
- British Manufacturing
Dashel helmets are manufactured in the UK. We recycle our waste and are working towards truly circular manufacturing.
- Circular Helmet Recycling
We encourage customers to return their old helmets to us to be recycled. After all, cycle helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years for safety reasons.
- B Corp Certified
Dashel is a certified B Corp meeting high environmental standards. Of course, there's always more work to do so we're always looking for ways we can continually improve our impact.
- Ocean Saver Kids Helmets
Our Kids helmets feature loops made from reclaimed ghost fishing nets recovered by Sea Shepherd.

How Dashel Compares to Other Helmet Brands:
We might be biased, but we think that a Dashel is the obvious choice from a safety perspective, but also style. After all, who wants to wear a neon sports helmet with countless jagged vents when only cruising to work or to the pub?
Every Dashel helmet combines clean, considered design and sleek silhouettes available in a curated palette of wearable colours. Built for the discerning cyclist, they deliver premium comfort, lightweight performance, and an understated sense of style that, unlike ‘sportier’ styles on the market, will never look out of place as you ride to work or play.

With great safety test results, Dashel helmets are not just stylish but confirmed to be some of the very safest on the market today. So, don't forget your Dashel the next time you go to rent a Lime bike...
- Lightweight and Comfortable
Delivering premium comfort and lightweight performance, Dashel helmets weigh in at just 360g - 430g. What's more, they come with removable and washable pads, as well as an adjuster dial for a tailored fit. Elsewhere, they feature a subtle peak to keep the sun and rain out of your eyes whilst on the move.
