Top helmet for 21.99 euros: The Crivit road bike and gravel helmet from Lidl is our buying tip

A helmet for just 22 euros sounds like a tempting offer. But if the Crivit road bike and gravel helmet lives up to its promise, it offers exceptional value for money. Lightweight, well ventilated and with a clean inmould construction, it could become a real insider tip for sporty riders.

The first conclusion

At first glance, the helmet looks like a model for sporty use on road and gravel bikes. The workmanship is clean, the 20 ventilation openings promise good air circulation and the height-adjustable headband helps with the adjustment. The padding is neatly taped in and the weight of 250 grams sounds tempting. Although the Crivit is not quite as slim as the well-known top models from major brands, it fits surprisingly well when you try it on for the first time and immediately gives you a secure, comfortable feeling.

Test judgement and classification by the editors

Our test judgement is surprisingly positive: The Lidl helmet impresses with its clean workmanship, without visible moulded seams or unclean transitions. Several colleagues tried it on and praised its pleasing all-round fit. In size M/L, the helmet, which is only available in black, weighs 275 grams, which is not noticeable thanks to the well-placed padding. If you want to save weight, you can remove the somewhat stiff chin pad. The ventilation is strong, the size adjustment dial works precisely and the large rear cut-out in the height-adjustable headband makes the helmet suitable for braids. Visually, its rear section looks a little bulky, but in view of the extremely low price and the convincing quality, the Crivit helmet is a clear purchase tip for road and gravel cyclists.
