The F14s deep fit gives you confidence

BikeRadar verdict

4 out of 5 stars

"If a regular trail helmet isn’t enough then look no further."

By Doddy

THE’s F14 looks very similar to Giro’s old Semi MX helmet, and seems to be the ideal halfway house between a full-face helmet and a piss pot-style lid.

With the moulded EPS base and a micro-shell finish, the helmet has an extended rear that offers fantastic protection for the rear of your head.

Fourteen vents and a neat visor control the air flow on the F14, and a simple retention system – along the lines of Giro’s Roc-Loc – keeps the fit secure.

Thankfully we haven’t headbutted any trees just yet, but the extra confidence the deep fit inspires is certainly a good thing.

  • User review of THE F14 Helmet

    I have just bought the the F14 helmet from THE Industries.

    If, like me, you have a massive bonce and frankly look stupid with a standard road or MTB lid on - I have some good news.

    The design, with an extended rear section, totally changes the look of the helmet in comparison to a standard lid. Without the visor fitted it looks a lot like a street/skate lid but with the normal venting you'd expect in a standard mtb/road helmet. It actually makes my 61cm head look small ! The F14 XL is for sizes 60-62cm and it comes with a set of thicker liners to give you fitting options.

    It is the only cycle helmet I have ever tried on that did not make me look an ars*. The added protection is not to be sniffed at of course.

    I have worn the helmet a few times now and have no complaints.
