Heritage 2.0 Bike & Skate Helmet

Thousand's Heritage 2.0 is the helmet that made the brand: a vintage moto shape with a low-profile built-in visor, vegan leather straps and a one-handed magnetic buckle. The 2.0 adds more vents and internal channels, a reworked dial fit system with more padding, and a mount on the back for Thousand's Magnetic Helmet Light (sold separately). It is dual certified, so one helmet covers the bike, the skateboard and the skates. Thousand is based in Los Angeles.

Complies with U.S. CPSC bicycle helmet standard for ages 5 and older, and certified to CPSC and ASTM standards for cycling, roller skating and skateboarding. Patented PopLock: a hidden channel behind the logo lets you thread a U-lock or chain through the helmet and leave it on the bike, backed by Thousand's Anti-Theft Guarantee. Twenty colorways, including the Keith Haring and Smiley collaborations.

Quick answers

• Does it have MIPS? No, Thousand does not list MIPS on the Heritage 2.0. For MIPS, see the Thousand Chapter.
• Is it certified for skating? Yes. Thousand says it is certified to CPSC and ASTM standards for cycling, roller skating and skateboarding. Its CPSC bike rating is for ages 5 and older.

Our take: Joe's wife and kids ride in Thousand helmets. This is the one to pick for around-town and commuting; if you want MIPS and an integrated tail light, look at the Chapter.

Sizing: Small 54 to 57 cm, Medium 57 to 59 cm, Large 59 to 61.5 cm. Measure just above the eyebrows. Between sizes, Thousand says size down.
