Yes. Please note Dashel Cycle Helmets have been tested to EN1078 - The European Standard. Dashel Cycle Helmets are therefore only intended for use in Europe and any use outside this territory will be at your own risk and we disclaim all liability thereto. Post launch we will be adding certification for other continents.

The helmet has 5 vent holes – these aren’t always easy to see in photographs.

We plan to launch a line specifically for children in future using the multi-impact liner
combined with a cheaper shell. The Small helmet can fit a 54-56cm head so will fit many children. EN1078 means the helmet is suitable for cycling and scooting. See Sizing/How to Measure Your Head before ordering.

Yes there is demand. If your head is larger than 61cm and you'd like a Dashel. Send us a message via the contact page and we’ll register your interest.

The new helmets use faux leather. The carbon fibre versions use leather but will move to vegan leather as stock of leather offcuts runs out. If you’d prefer a carbon fibre helmet with a leather loop, then there is no charge for this, however the lead time will be longer. Email sales@dashel.co.uk for assistance.
