Pros and cons
P2R Sports
Pros
- Entry price of €39.90 sits mid-field at 14 of 24, and below Bern at $44.50.
- Light shell at 230 g, ranking 2 of 9 on weight in this category.
- Integrated lights are built in, so a night ride needs no separate bar light to mount and charge.
Cons
- Crash replacement is not offered, so a helmet written off in a fall is a full new purchase.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for fit and sizing questions.
- Standards are listed as cpsc only, so riders who need a different local certification should check before buying.
Thousand
Pros
- Integrated lights are built in, so you ride home lit without carrying a separate lamp and charger.
- Crash replacement is included, which softens the cost of a fall on a busy commute.
- The helmet is certified to cpsc and en 1078, covering standards used in the United States and Europe.
Cons
- Thousand is the pricier of the three: $59.95 against Bern at $44.50 and Lumos at $9.95.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, and phone support is more common across the brands here, at 67.2%.
- Fit is limited to S, M, L, so a rider outside that range has to look at another brand.
Who each suits
P2R Sports
Who it suits

Who should look elsewhere
- Riders on the tightest budget, since Lumos starts at $9.95 and sits well under the €39.90 entry here.

Questions about each
P2R Sports
How much does a P2R Sports helmet cost?+
The helmet range starts at €39.90. That is the entry point for the whole collection rather than a single promotion, and it is the figure to line up against Lumos at $9.95 and Bern at $44.50. A helmet is bought once rather than renewed, so there is no later price step to budget for.
What sizes does the range cover?+
Fit runs S 52-55 cm to XL 61-64 cm, so one brand covers a wide spread of head sizes from small through to extra large. Measure around your head, then match that number against the sizing on the product page before ordering. Riders near the narrow or wide end of the scale should check carefully, since the outer shells are where a poor fit shows up on a long ride.
Thousand
How much does a Thousand helmet cost?+
Thousand helmets start at $59.95, which is the entry price for the range. Bern starts at $44.50 and Lumos at $9.95, so a lower spend is available elsewhere, and Thousand asks more for what is built into the helmet.
Does the helmet come with a light?+
Yes, integrated lights are part of the helmet, so you do not need to buy and charge a separate front lamp. That is the main reason to pay over the $59.95 starting price, since the light sits in the shell rather than being an accessory you fit later.
