Brooks is quickly expanding its repertoire from its famous leather saddles into other bike and rider gear. You can now buy Brooks-branded cycling bags and backpacks, tools, lights and clothing – as well as cycle helmets.

Sadly its helmets are not made of vintage leather. There are three options: the urban-focussed Island, the folding Carrera and the Harrier, which is Brooks’s most performance-oriented design. It’s a classic in-mould helmet with an expanded polystyrene core covered with a plastic shell and comes in white or teal (a blue-green colour) as well as matt black.
