A Winter Ride Like No Other: The Story Behind Our New Helmet Liner


Winter cycling has a special charm. There’s a calm stillness during those early morning rides when the air is crisp, and the world feels untouched. 

For many, these rides are about more than just getting from point A to point B—they’re about embracing the season and enjoying the journey. Our new winter liner elevates this experience, unlocking the full potential of our Ultra range helmets. While these helmets have always excelled in darker seasons by providing visibility and safety, harsh winter weather often made it hard to fully enjoy those features. 

That’s where the winter liner comes in, allowing you to stay warm, dry, and comfortable while benefiting from the helmet’s full safety potential—whatever the weather. We didn’t just create this product; we crafted it with you in mind, knowing exactly what you’ve been asking for. You wanted something to make winter rides more enjoyable, to keep your focus on the road without worrying about cold ears or rain-soaked helmets. We listened, and we delivered.



The first thing we tackled was protection from the elements. We knew that to keep you dry, we needed something more than just a simple liner. So, we combined neoprene with polyurethane foam for the top layer. This combination isn’t just waterproof—it’s a shield against whatever winter throws your way. Whether you’re cycling through a sudden downpour or navigating snowy paths, this liner ensures you stay dry and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy the ride without distraction.

But staying dry is only part of the story. Winter isn’t just wet; it’s cold, and your ears often bear the brunt of that chill. That’s why we decided to add something extra—earmuffs. Not the big, bulky kind that make you feel like you’re wearing half your wardrobe on your head, but sleek, integrated earmuffs that keep your ears warm without sacrificing style or comfort. It’s a small addition, but one that makes a world of difference when you’re out there in the cold.

Comfort, though, is about more than just warmth. We knew that to make this liner truly exceptional, it needed to fit perfectly—no matter what helmet you’re using. So, we designed it to be adaptable, fitting seamlessly with all Lumos helmets in your collection. This isn’t just about practicality; it’s about making sure that when you’re on your bike, your gear works with you, not against you. You won’t have to wrestle with adjustments or deal with a liner that slips out of place. Instead, you’ll find that our liner feels like a natural extension of your helmet, providing comfort from the moment you put it on.


Now, let’s talk about something that often gets overlooked in winter gear: ventilation. We’ve all been there—bundled up to stay warm, only to find ourselves overheating a few miles into the ride. That’s why we made sure our liner is as breathable as it is warm. We’ve incorporated ventilation meterials that allow air to circulate, preventing that all-too-common feeling of getting too hot under your helmet. It’s a delicate balance, keeping you warm but not too warm, and we’ve nailed it with this design.



This liner is more than just a piece of winter gear—it’s the result of years of listening to what you need, of testing and refining to create something that doesn’t just meet your expectations but exceeds them. We didn’t set out to make just another product; we set out to make your winter rides better, to make sure that when you’re out there, you’re not just enduring the ride—you’re enjoying it.

So, as you prepare for your next winter ride, remember that we’ve got you covered. Literally. With our new helmet liner, you’re not just braving the cold—you’re embracing it, fully equipped to make the most of every ride, no matter the weather!
