What to Compare Before Buying
- Size: This model is S/M, so the most important check is whether that size matches the rider.
- Ventilation: The helmet has 23 vents. Compare that with the amount of airflow you want for longer rides or warmer weather.
- Fit adjustment: The adjustable retention system helps tailor the fit, so check that the adjustment range suits the rider comfortably.
- Peak style: The removable peak changes the look and feel of the helmet, so decide whether you want it fitted or removed.
Compatibility, Size and Fit
The main fit check is the S/M size. Before choosing an offer, compare the helmet size with the rider’s head measurement and make sure the adjustable retention system gives enough room for a secure fit.
If the helmet is being bought for commuting, road riding or general leisure use, the removable peak is a useful feature to consider because it can be kept on or taken off depending on the riding style.
Care, Cleaning and Storage
The removable microfibre padding makes it easier to clean the interior after regular use. That is useful if the helmet is worn often, especially in warmer conditions or on longer rides.
Store the helmet carefully between rides and check the fit system and peak before use if they have been adjusted or removed.
Before You Decide
Confirm the S/M size is right for the rider, and check whether you want the removable peak in place or taken off. The Altura Airstream then comes down to whether its 23-vent design and adjustable fit match the type of riding you plan to do.
