Bam! Lazer Z1 (Camoflash Yellow) Helmet. Exhibit A. |
With top cyclocross professionals and WorldTour professionals wearing the Lazer Z1, word has gotten out about this promising helmet. Fit, function and style all contribute to what makes this Belgian-manufactured helmet so special.
- Fit.
- With its innovative ARS Advanced Rollsys retention system, an inner-shell tightens around the circumference of your head. Ultimately, this allows for a more comfortable and snug fit.

- The ARS Advanced Rollsys retention system operates with a dial, which is located atop the helmet.

- Also, the inner shell, at the rear of the helmet, slides up and down.
This allows for additional tinkering and an optimal fit.

- Function.
- The Lazer Z1 manages to balance functionality and simplicity. This, in a helmet, is gold.
- Around the temple region, the Lazer Z1 swoops down for added protection. Known as T-Pro, Lazer is looking out for its consumers.

- Next in the design is a low-maintenance ear strap and chin strap design. Both are adjustable with a positive or negative shimmy. This means less time fiddling with new helmet straps and more time pedaling!
- Style.
- Refer to Exhibit A, which is conveniently located at the top of this post. Boom! Need I say more?
- In all seriousness, Lazer does offer a range of color options to address all of its consumers. Art's Cyclery, an online retailer with a storefront located in San Luis Obispo, Calif., carries a range of Lazer Z1 color and size options.
- Extras.
- In addition to the fit, function and style of the Lazer Z1 helmet, Lazer offers plenty of nifty accessories.
- Aeroshell: for protection from the wind and rain with an aerodynamic advantage.
- Z-LED Rear Red Light: for the safety conscious and dawn/dusk pedaler.
- Cappuccinolock: for the mid-ride cafe stop that requires extra security.
- LifeBeam: for those focused on heart rate, but tired of nagging chest straps.
- Mag Docs: for use with Lazer Magneto sunglasses.
Overall, after working my way through numerous helmets, I am thoroughly impressed with the Lazer Z1. Do not make the same mistake as me. Give the lightweight and highly-ventilated Z1 a try as soon as possible.
