Bolle really have tried to think of everything when it comes to The One bicycle helmet. At first, it looks like any other bike helmet, our tester came in black, it looks reasonable and fits snuggly, with the Click to Fit System you can get a very precise fit. Bolle claims that The One exceeds the current shock absorption requirements by 97% and that this has been verified by independent testing, as we didn’t throw ourselves from our bikes to thoroughly test the helmet (shirking our work responsibilities, shame on us) we choose to take their word for it. As an added safety feature The One features Bolle’s Safety QR Code Sticker which allows you to input your emergency details, the idea being if you were to have an accident someone can scan the code to access this information. I think it’s a nice idea but it is assuming that the person who finds you sees the sticker, knows what a QR Code is, has a scanner, has access to the internet. I have attended a woman who was knocked off her bicycle by a car, the last thing on my mind was to look at her helmet for any information as my main priority was not to move her, but as I said it’s a nice idea. Now for the real winning features of The One in order or favourites first, there is an included LED Light (coin cell battery operated) that is designed to fit in at back of the helmet, the best position of visibility and can be set to flash or shine continuously - a great extra safety feature. If you enjoy racing and want to avoid the extra weight there is a lighter capsule that can be placed in the slot instead. Second on our list are the removable linings, The One comes with two linings, a summer and a winter one, so as the temperature starts to drop you can whip out the summer lining and replace it with the winter one by simply sliding the helmet straps through the loops and attaching it to the Velcro patches inside the helmet. The winter lining offers greater cover around the back of the head as well as earpads for extra warmth. Being able to remove the linings is also great so you can wash them after particularly sweaty rides. Thirdly is something we haven’t seen before, the helmet has a Sunglasses Garage, it sounds grander than it is but it is still a fantastic idea, it is an area at the front of the helmet where you can safely store your sunglasses should you no longer need them. Last on our list is the attachable visor for if you want to take the helmet out on a mountain bike, all these features help make The One a helmet for all seasons and all riding styles. We found The One light and comfortable to wear with the right amount of ventilation to keep you cool and the winter liner will keep you nice and warm in the winter. It comes in a variety of colours in a Standard version, and, for a little extra, the Premium version comes with panels to cover the ventilation holes for greater aerodynamics when racing.
