Great video! I’ve been going back and forth online and decided to jump on UA-cam and ran across your video. I laughed at the end because I’m still a bit torn lol, but this was helpful! I think I’m leaning Heritage, hopefully it fits my oval head lol.
I just purchased the Heritage in blue with white trim which matches the blue on my Lectric Bike. I am not a matchy-matchy person but this color of blue is my favorite color. It is so easy to adjust with the dial in the back to quickly go for a snugger fit. I also love the ease of the magnetic clasp, and you can do it with one hand with practice. I also have more of a racing style helmet but my new Thousand feels like it just sits better down over my forehead and I love the little visor. It is just a much comfier fit! It is just a classy looking helmet with the vegan leather straps. Now I just need some warmer dryer weather to get out and ride in comfort! Three years ago, I suffered a concussion and it took me at least a year to feel myself again and to recover some of the cognitive skills I lost. I never ever want to go through that again! Someone recently told me not to pay any more for a helmet than your head is worth to you! Mine it priceless!
Great review. I'm trying to decide. I think I'll get the Heritage. I like the minimal simplicity more too and it's safety rated highly in Europe. MIPS ratings are great but I feel it's not really necessary. Just the latest and greatest to charge more money. I used to ride dirt bikes, motorcycles, when I was a kid. We didn't have MIPS back then and I saw and was involved in lots of high speed crashes. Wearing an ordinary crash helmet is all the safety we needed.
I agree for the most part, I'm sure MIPS can help with concussions and certain crashes but it's really hard to say which one will be THAT crash and if you'll ever be in one. So if someone wants top safety, then go for MIPS. One viewer brought up that Thousand wasn't ranked top in some safety crash tests but at the end of the day if it passed certification and is likely to save your life in most normal crash situations and you like it and YOU WEAR it, then that's the right helmet. The safest helmet is the one you wear!
I have both helmets, I use the Chapter with my e-bike so I have one helmet for each bike, just for simplicity too to manage my helmets as I attach them to my bike. I also have 2 sets of Thousand gloves, each attached to each bike so when I get to my bike I'm ready to go.
I have both and you nailed it. They're different products. Both the Chapter & Heritage have found their places in my life between two different bicycles and an e-scooter.
I like that they made actually different products with different demographics and intentions and also budget! They are very different. Let me guess, Heritage for the bike, Chapter for the e-scooter?
Jess! Love this review. You are a) super helpful in your reviews b) super hilarious c) super adorable! (This was not a multiple choice situation, but if it was, the correct answer would be D) all of the above). :D Thank you for helping me to decide! Heritage on its way!!! xoxo
Very helpful, thanks Jess 😎. I have had a Heritage for a few years and totally love it. I recently came off my ebike on slippy mud. Posted on Insta and Thousand got in touch to offer a free replacement helmet, which is part of the customer deal. Their customer service is 👌. I had the blue originally but went for the black to match my new bike. The design makes me want to wear it. My partner is now looking at them but is keen on the MIPS. However, I prefer the integrated peak, which worked well as that was the bit that hit the ground.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing :) I have a full review on the thousand MIPS. Helmet too on my channel :) if he decides to buy it, the affiliate link costs nothing and is always a nice bonus to keep me going to buy and review more gear
I guess I’m late to the party, but still, am totally ecstatic, after my recent purchase of the Heritage in blue. Goes perfect with my new e-bike. Bomb 💣

The non MIPS version is certified according to a lot of industry standards and MIPS is a newer invention and people have been wearing helmets for without MIPS for a long time. So I can't answer your specific question since I'm not certified in any way to, but if you want to ask which will offer the maximum safety between the 2, then that's the MIPS one
@@GadgetsGearCoffee only have ☝️ 🧠. Don’t mind spending the extra bucks to protect it. I’ll see when it ship to me. Thx. The video help me to make the decision.
I just got My Terra Cotta Thousand helmet and those cool tan gloves. I don't know where I would have found a better color helmet to go with the Cheetah Bike coming soon I hope.
i actually wanted to get the chapter but the size dont fit me even at L size there is pressures point on the side of my head but the heritage fit perfectly on L size. look wise YES cant agree more the heritage look for classis.
Give this feedback to the company! The new heritage has a different fit that the chapter doesn't but perhaps they'll eventually bring those design changes to it
I got the Chapter after watching all those positive reviews. It's one of the prettiest MIPS helmets for sure, but besides that it wasn't very nice to be honest. It's so uncomfortable, even the little velcro dots left marks pressing in my forehead through the super thin padding. It also feels kinda flimsy/cheap and it's so noisy when you get above 20kph. I returned mine and got an Abus Hyban 2.0 MIPS instead which has been a dream so far. Super comfy, quiet, and much stronger with that ABS shell to boot. Do yourself a favor and get a real helmet folks, this is nothing more than a well marketed fashion statement.
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I agree heads come in many shapes and forms, but it's not just that. The padding is really thin on the Chapter and there's not much of it. Only a little bit on the front and sides and nothing on the rear. If you've never tried one of the more experienced brands like for example Abus, Giro or Lazer I'd suggest you give them a shot. The difference is pretty massive and many of them are only half to 2/3th the price of the Thousand Chapter. Cheers from the Netherlands :)
I tried on both in the bike shop today. I like the style and color options for the Heritage, but, as an ebike owner at higher speeds, I'm opting for a mips helmet. Might be a thousand brand or Smith or bern or nutcase. Haven't decided yet. Nutcase also has the magnetic clasp. Thousand costs the most and isn't better than the others mentioned.
I brought the thousand heritage one in blue size large which now.i have to exchange for the med size.i find the heritage didn't have enough ventilation because my head was sweating after trying it out so.i was thinking of trying out the chapter one so what do you think jess?
I talk about all that in the video :) I don't have sweatiness issues though so I can't speak for you but logically speaking, bigger more vents would help
@@GadgetsGearCoffee Thank you. I found that shortly after I asked you about them. Thanks again. You should do more videos on eBikes and there accessories. You are very good at what you do. Keep it up. Thanks again.
@@dfking47 unless a company is planning on gifting me one for review, my budget is rather limited (unless I open up a Patreon in order to fund the products for review). An e-bike is 1500-2500$ CAD so it's not exactly chump change :\ I'd love to though. If you do consider buying anything from them, please use the link in my description! It will help with offsetting the cost of some of these products for review :) at no additional cost to you, a great way to support what I'm doing
it doesn't bother me I don't notice my head being heavy but I'm also an urban commuter and my rides don't usually last more than 30 mins (other than a couple of longer rides). Maybe I have an F1 racer approved neck muscles :D
Is there a way to lock the strap after the magnet connects? I’m concerned the magnet may give if enough force when in accident then the helmet goes flying off.
nope the magnets are it but it's not just magnets, there is some sort of labyrinth connection if you will that would make it quite difficult for that to happen in the scenario you're describing. You'd need a scenario where somehow the clasp manages to slide off first to unclasp, then fly off - a situation I don't imagine happening often if at all. If you see this photo thingsthatfold.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Biologic-Pango-Fidlock_buckle-open.jpg you'll see that there are several spots where it mechanically slots in - is it impossible? probably not but you could say that about any clasp, there is always a failure point. You could write Thousand I'm sure they could explain in details their tests and such
Great video! Funny and informative too 😉 I’m about to buy a e-bike (riese Müller) soon, but just to be safe and give a bit like example to my kids, I considering to buy a helmet (somehow it can protect you more from a fall etc ) but,… in general they are sooo ugly!!! So, I’m quit interested in the thousand heritage helmet (looks still elegant) and it’s better than wearing nothing 😅 The other model looks lesser elegant and is not cheap too! You use it for e-bike too 🧐 the ugly helmets in the shops has this mips too, but is it really much safer and next really necessary? Very nice service they give for the helmet ⛑️👍👍👍 多謝
I guess it depends on what level of safety you're comfortable with. I use the heritage more because it's nicer. If you get it leave a comment below and consider using my affiliate link :)
@@GadgetsGearCoffee hey, unfortunately it seems not to work in Europe (the link you sent ) You think I can directly show it in a retail shop to make use of your gift 🧐 Have a great day
really depends on your needs and what type of cyclist you are. I have a road bike but I'm an urban commuter and I'm not recording my speed or anything so I don't care about faster, lighter, more air vents. If you want a more "cycling helmet" then I'd say Chapter is a better bet between the 2 :)
@@GadgetsGearCoffee thanks for the reply. I am mostly a commuter, weekend rider. I am not looking to break any records here. I like the look at the Chapter.
I dunno, but the more paranoid I get about going and riding in the city, the more I look like Darth Vader or Judge Dread on my ebike. Oh well.... Being pretty on your way never gets any objection from me ya girls. Being smart is a super plus. Less than smart riding sorta does get the cringe. But that's just me, and will be since I criticize stuff along my way. MIPS is a danger close sorta choice. Where ya going is a big thing in gear for me. It's how I am choosing and I really love the Chapter. Why? Dunno really. I like the look myself + MIPS. Just works for me. It's on my list.
fair though 99% of my biking is on dedicated bike paths. The most dangerous things are actually pedestrians... might be worse than cars. Especially when they Wizard of Oz interlock their arms in a row, WHY? WHYYYYY? MIPS is safer but ultimately a helmet that is certified will still protect ya. I rode a few years without a helmet at all so a helmet is better than no helmet!
same, it's classic looking! maybe they'll release a v2 but then it'll be harder to distinguish between their current 2 models, I'm guessing that was the reason. One was more style/simple focused, the other more tech focused
If a helmet is lighter, have larger sunshade visor, provides more protection, and have better ventilation, I don't see what's stopping me from getting it other than the price
I wish you had worn the Chapter helmet more and shown it off! I need to see them on more people. But I think I’m leaning toward the Heritage more, even though my mom called it a Nazi helmet.
omg.... um.... let's not call it that please. I like to call it an equestrian helmet :) or just my super-cool-sweet-ass helmet. I can't explain how many compliments I get on my helmet. Pretty much every single time I wear it out a friend or a stranger will compliment me
@@GadgetsGearCoffee yeah, I’m sure the Heritage being the old fashioned design looks like a WWII helmet or similar. But anyway, that’s great! I thought I would fave the chapter, but after a few reviews I think I’m leaning the same color Heritage.
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I don't think the helmet is what's getting the compliments it's you. I have the Herritage Speedway and in the month I've had it I've gotten literally zero compliments lol. You must have an approachable aura about you.
It depends on the route you're taking and what vehicle you ride on. If the route and variables involved turns out to be dangerous enough to warrant the use of the chapter helmet, then I'll get it.
100% my logic! I ride mainly biking paths away from cars so I don't feel the need for the MIPS personally but whatever feels right for the situation. I have both so I can choose 😁
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I might consider getting one because I ride a Boosted board and bike. Sometimes there's unforeseen construction and debris which would resort to me sharing the road with cars. I got the heritage helmet for over 4 years now.
@@depthsothenso813 oh ya an e skate board might be worth it because you can bail pretty easily on those, and I imagine in a way that can you hit your head in a more rotational way. And also you'd get the light on the helmet! That alone I see as worth it. . Ultimately, you're probably safe with both but one could be safer. Tho I have read some articles stating how MIPS isn't all that great, but it's also the internet. You can literally find any article with experts that fit any single possible narrative
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I got the Boosted beam lights on both the front and back of the board 600 lumens. Recently I attached the Thousand bike bell on my backpack and it works. Yes having precautions is good after I learned from my first spill and few close calls. Stay safe and happy riding!
I got an E-mail from Thousand asking questions about My biking , type of bike , etc. One was how did I hear about them. I was going to put Your name in there but one choice was "Influencer " so I checked it. Hope You get credit !!
@@DYNABIKE1 oh that's cool, I wonder if that'll do something. So strange to think of myself as an "influencer", I'd like to think of myself more as a reviewer but semantics I suppose. I'd love for them to fly me in and get a little tour and behind the scenes 😁
@@GadgetsGearCoffee That would be so special. If I had a vote on that happening You would get it ! Let Me know if there is any more You think I could do to let Thousand know about Your promotion.
I recently bought myself a really nice Trek ebike. I already own a helmet that I honestly do wear when I'm out riding, but its SUPEERRR lame looking =( I'm definitely going to buy myself a Thousand helmet, but am still not quite sure which version I should get. This comparison helped me out tho! Loved it =)
I'll consider it, second person to request it! What do you want to know about it? I'm not a Uber cyclist so it'll be more a story and a "show and tell" type of thing
@@GadgetsGearCoffee just want to see the complete collection. a good helmet is only good next to the right bike. no stress:) A story is definitely interesting!
no kidding, thanks for that share! I will say though, I'm not sure which company came out first with this design - if it's Thousand, there is a lot of design work and time (which means RnD $$) that is put into it that Quba wouldn't have had to spend otherwise so it's very easy to copy a pre-existing design and then sell it - that's not fair to the original designer. So your comment of "overpriced" is not a fair comment and is only one of many aspects. Yes, on a purely budget scale, Quba would win but that's not the whole picture. Also, it doesn't have the U lock hole and I personally use that all the time, Thousand has that crash helmet replacement and amazing customer service as well. Depends on what you value but comparing pure costs for products is never the full picture and depends from person to person.
subjective, there are many other options if you're more budget conscious and don't care about all the additional features and purely want a simple bike helmet

I wish you had worn the Chapter helmet more and shown it off! I need to see them on more people. But I think I’m leaning toward the Heritage more, even though my mom called it a Nazi helmet.
omg.... um.... let's not call it that please. I like to call it an equestrian helmet :) or just my super-cool-sweet-ass helmet. I can't explain how many compliments I get on my helmet. Pretty much every single time I wear it out a friend or a stranger will compliment me
@@GadgetsGearCoffee yeah, I’m sure the Heritage being the old fashioned design looks like a WWII helmet or similar. But anyway, that’s great! I thought I would fave the chapter, but after a few reviews I think I’m leaning the same color Heritage.
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I don't think the helmet is what's getting the compliments it's you. I have the Herritage Speedway and in the month I've had it I've gotten literally zero compliments lol.
You must have an approachable aura about you.
Great helmet for the price.
It depends on the route you're taking and what vehicle you ride on. If the route and variables involved turns out to be dangerous enough to warrant the use of the chapter helmet, then I'll get it.
100% my logic! I ride mainly biking paths away from cars so I don't feel the need for the MIPS personally but whatever feels right for the situation. I have both so I can choose 😁
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I might consider getting one because I ride a Boosted board and bike. Sometimes there's unforeseen construction and debris which would resort to me sharing the road with cars. I got the heritage helmet for over 4 years now.
@@depthsothenso813 oh ya an e skate board might be worth it because you can bail pretty easily on those, and I imagine in a way that can you hit your head in a more rotational way. And also you'd get the light on the helmet! That alone I see as worth it. . Ultimately, you're probably safe with both but one could be safer. Tho I have read some articles stating how MIPS isn't all that great, but it's also the internet. You can literally find any article with experts that fit any single possible narrative
@@GadgetsGearCoffee I got the Boosted beam lights on both the front and back of the board 600 lumens. Recently I attached the Thousand bike bell on my backpack and it works. Yes having precautions is good after I learned from my first spill and few close calls.
Stay safe and happy riding!
*We love how the fit is adjustable so **Latest.Bike** Helmet will last a long time for my daughter and she loves the color.*
Which size did you get?
Small
I Love these Happy videos !!❣️ Thanks to You and You're review My Heritage model arrives tomorrow - -->>>.
which color did you end up getting?
@@GadgetsGearCoffee The closest I could get to the tan gloves and My brown / Tan Cheetah eBike coming was the Terra Cotta !
I got an E-mail from Thousand asking questions about My biking , type of bike , etc. One was how did I hear about them. I was going to put Your name in there but one choice was "Influencer " so I checked it. Hope You get credit !!
@@DYNABIKE1 oh that's cool, I wonder if that'll do something. So strange to think of myself as an "influencer", I'd like to think of myself more as a reviewer but semantics I suppose. I'd love for them to fly me in and get a little tour and behind the scenes 😁
@@GadgetsGearCoffee That would be so special. If I had a vote on that happening You would get it ! Let Me know if there is any more You think I could do to let Thousand know about Your promotion.
I recently bought myself a really nice Trek ebike. I already own a helmet that I honestly do wear when I'm out riding, but its SUPEERRR lame looking =(
I'm definitely going to buy myself a Thousand helmet, but am still not quite sure which version I should get. This comparison helped me out tho! Loved it =)
I mean you gotta get a nice helmet to match the nice e-bike! You can't go wrong with either one
Can you make a video about ur bike?
I'll consider it, second person to request it! What do you want to know about it? I'm not a Uber cyclist so it'll be more a story and a "show and tell" type of thing
@@GadgetsGearCoffee just want to see the complete collection. a good helmet is only good next to the right bike. no stress:) A story is definitely interesting!
overpriced both, save your self 70% and buy a Quba, exact same styling and safety but wayyy cheaper.
no kidding, thanks for that share! I will say though, I'm not sure which company came out first with this design - if it's Thousand, there is a lot of design work and time (which means RnD $$) that is put into it that Quba wouldn't have had to spend otherwise so it's very easy to copy a pre-existing design and then sell it - that's not fair to the original designer. So your comment of "overpriced" is not a fair comment and is only one of many aspects. Yes, on a purely budget scale, Quba would win but that's not the whole picture. Also, it doesn't have the U lock hole and I personally use that all the time, Thousand has that crash helmet replacement and amazing customer service as well. Depends on what you value but comparing pure costs for products is never the full picture and depends from person to person.
Bit expensive
subjective, there are many other options if you're more budget conscious and don't care about all the additional features and purely want a simple bike helmet
