Test: stone chips on the new bike are like scratches on a new helmet: annoying. Neither one nor the other has to be, because the frame can be protected with stickers and the helmet can also be protected. The clothing manufacturer Endura has a transport box for helmets in its range, which we took a closer look at.
Some people, like me, will be super careful with new material. Just no scratches is the motto and yet at some point the time has come and the new bike or in our case the new helmet has a quirk. If that also happens during transport and not in the event of a fall, you'll be really angry. At the same time as developing the helmet, Endura also produced the right hardware to avoid this. A solid transport box that is designed to protect the helmet from external influences in the car, at home or on the train.
You already know the concept from a glasses case. Firm on the outside to protect against bumps and soft on the inside to protect the paintwork.
However, Endura has not just brought a simple transport box onto the market. From a purely visual point of view, it is kept extremely simple. An oval case in subtle black. A large stamped logo adorns the surface of the transport box, an easy-to-open zip runs all around and a buckle is used for hanging.
Inside there is a clever transport lock and ventilation built into the floor. With a mesh material in the upper part, the helmet is pressed into the recess in the lower part, which means that the helmet cannot slip. Mesh has also been used in the lower part for ventilation purposes. The transport box thus has constant air circulation, which is missing when drying the helmet and helps against the smell of sweat.
Conclusion
We've had Endura's transport box for helmets with us at a few races. The size fits almost every cross country and open enduro helmet. It can be quickly stowed in the car and, if necessary, also fits into the travel bag or can be attached to it. For just 22,99 euros, you never have to worry about your beloved helmet again, which is well protected in the box.
