Helmets are lifesavers. So are the beanies and skull caps that use comfort and style to make this safety necessity enjoyable. From fun weekend activities to workplace essentials, helmets have been saving lives for centuries.
According to the World Health Organization, millions of tragedies could be prevented annually by wearing helmets. Loss of life is reduced by 35% when a helmet is worn. Helmets offer up to 88% reduction in the risk of brain injury. Still, hundreds of preventable deaths occur annually, and across the globe, due to improper helmet-wearing practices.
What to Wear Under Helmet
Whether caused by rush or complaint, these numbers show that these vital safety features are often forgotten. Β In response to this, beanies have become a must-have helmet supplement. With an answer to every potential issue with a helmet, beanies strut onto the scene with ease and comfort. Β While protective headgear can chafe, itch, scratch, and shift, these beanies and skull caps swoop in and make everything right with design features to meet every need.
Helmets come in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and uses. For every helmet design, there is the ideal beanie to fit comfortably, providing warmth and cushion. Cool Beanie Hats has tracked down the ten best beanies to pair perfectly with the most common, year-round uses of helmets.
