What is Product type?

In short

What a brand actually sells, in the wording its own site uses, so you know if you are comparing helmets with locks.

Product type is the kind of gear a brand sells, taken from the words on its own site rather than an assumption. It matters because a helmet brand and a lock brand are not rivals for the same budget, and mixing them up makes a price comparison meaningless. ABUS is listed as a lock, while Atomi, Bern, Bike-Angebot.de and Cannondale are all listed as helmet sellers. Check the product type before you compare weight, fit or price, since the numbers only mean the same thing within the same kind of product.
