The pith was a cushioning material that absorbed impact, but the helmet soon gave way to a padded leather-faced design that continued into the 1970s. The helmet was originally called a "hairnet" because it had strips of long, padded holsters that ran over the head like a net. This helmet is very attractive with foam padding wrapped in soft, high-quality leather. Although this helmet does protect the cyclist's ears from being rubbed or bruised by the ground. But unfortunately, its impact resistance is poor.
An important development was the soft helmet, which looked a bit like a vented bowl, made of polystyrene, covered with a synthetic spandex material (LYCRA), and later added foam on the inside pad.
The impact resistance standards of bicycle helmets and the firmness of the buckle were proposed by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in the mid-1970s. Project parameters of one kind or another are proposed according to various institutions, such as the SNELL Foundation, the National Bureau of Standards and the American Society for Testing and Materials. At that time, only one light motorcycle helmet met this standard. However, cyclists refuse to wear such helmets because they are heavy and impermeable.
