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

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: a certified bicycle helmet and a hat-style cover. The cover is designed to fit snugly over compatible helmets, giving you the straw hat look without the mushroom effect of a traditional bike helmet.

Affordable Alternative

To create a budget-friendly version, try this alternative:

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:

Step 1: Order the Remi Retrospec Helmet in the size that matches your head circumference. For example, for a head circumference of 22.5 inches, order the Remi in size Small.

Step 2: Order the Straw Hat Helmet Cover Only in the size that matches the Remi helmet. For example, if you ordered the helmet in size Small, order the Cover Only in size Retrospec Remi - Small - Cover Only. Use the code REMI10 to save 10% at checkout.

Step 3: Install the Straw Hat Bike Helmet Cover as demonstrated in the video below. Spray clean water on the Straw Hat Helmet Cover to relax the weave of the textile and help it conform to the shape of the Remi Retrospec Helmet.
