Budget Friendly Straw Hat Bike Helmet
Budget Alternative
Have you wanted the Bike Pretty Straw Hat Bike Helmet but need a more budget-friendly option? You're in luck! Here’s how to configure a less expensive version of my best-selling helmet and cover combo without compromising on quality or style.
Popular Choice
Listen, the Straw Hat Bike Helmet is loved by many for its outstanding features such as its slim profile, convincing hat effect, and interchangeable covers, making it a top choice for riders who love to express their personal style. However, I understand that the price might be a barrier for some.
Key Components
The Straw Hat Bike Helmet has two key components that make it stand out:
- Slim Profile: The YAKKAY Smart 2 is the preferred base helmet for the Straw Hat Bike Helmet. It’s designed to closely follow the contours of the human head to minimize the “mushroom” effect of traditional bike helmets.
- Interchangeable Covers: Thanks to the specialized design of the YAKKAY Smart 2 Base Helmet, it is compatible with all YAKKAY cover designs. No other bicycle helmet on the market offers this level of versatility.
However, the YAKKAY Smart 2 base helmet has to be imported from Germany, which significantly contributes to the overall cost of the Straw Hat Bike Helmet. I basically don’t make any profit on the helmets themselves but I make them available because they are the best fit for the Straw Hat Helmet Covers.
Affordable Alternative
To create a budget-friendly version, try this alternative:
- Remi Retrospec Helmet on Amazon: Instead of the YAKKAY Smart 2 base helmet, use this stylish helmet available on Amazon for less than half the price. It's more affordable and still compatible with the Straw Hat Helmet Cover Only.
The best part about the Remi Retrospec Helmet is that the helmet size corresponds directly with the cover size of the Bike Pretty Straw Hat Cover Only. You can find the Remi Retrospec Helmet on Amazon for generally under $40.
Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s how to assemble your customized product:

Style on a Budget
This less expensive version of the Straw Hat Bike Helmet is a great way to achieve that cute cottagecore look without breaking the bank. The beauty of this configuration is that if you want to unlock even more helmet covers by switching to the YAKKAY Smart 2 base helmet, your original Straw Hat Cover Only will fit the Smart 2 (as long as you buy the matching size of helmet).
Hope this helps you bike a little more pretty! Let me know how it goes and reach out if you have any questions.
