2021 CHPT3 Barrivell Chapter Helmet 3CHPT3 launches lockable urban helmet with Thousand
CHPT3 has collaborated with urban safety helmet manufacturer Thousand to create a limited edition Barrivell Chapter Helmet which features MIPS protection as well as a channel that allows you to secure it when you lock your bike.
> Latest urban and hybrid bike reviews
“With focus on exploration and play, like the essence of cycling, [CHPT3 and Thousand] have a common goal to create cycling gear that mixes style, safety, play and performance,” CHPT3 says.
The helmet integrates MIPs technology which consists of a low friction layer that allows relative motion in all directions to reduce the rotational motion transferred to the brain in the event of an impact. Find out more about MIPS in our explainer over here.
The helmet features a Multi-Use Magnetic Light for riding from the day into the night. This consists of a 30 lumen taillight that magnetically attaches to the helmet or multi-use adapter. It has a claimed runtime of an hour with the solid mode and two hours when flashing.
Eight vents are said to be strategically placed to capture airflow and pass it through the interior cooling channels for staying fresh.
A secret Poplock has been included for conveniently leaving the helmet behind. The hidden channel can be accessed behind the logo mark, and this can be used for pulling your lock through. CHPT3 says this is backed by its Anti-Theft guarantee.
All together the helmet weighs in at a claimed weight of 360g for the small, 370g for medium and 410g for the large.
We reported earlier this month that CHPT3 had returned with its new Most Days sustainable summer road collection, as well as collaboration with Garmin. The British cycling brand was founded in 2015 by retired pro rider David Millar.
The helmet costs £159 and is available now at CHPT3 over here, with orders dispatching from June 30.

Agreed on all counts. And it's the tacit assumption that as it's only a cycle lane it doesn't really matter anyway.

I used to go that way to work. It's nasty and congested. I doubt any changes will make the congestion worse.

I don't think it's a good idea to leave your crash helmet out of sight, where you don't know what happens to it. If it gets knocked badly, it's effectiveness can be severely compromised. If I can't leave it somewhere safe I generally keep it on when shopping for instance, especially since it cost more than my shopper bike.
Sod 'comprised'. What about when you come back and someone's left their litter in it? Or bodily fluids (I was thinking about 'vomit' - settle down at the back, there!)
Yep, exactly. Not everyone likes cyclists, and a chance to leave something unpleasant in their skid lid might be too tempting for a Clarkson type..
Is someone really going to nick a sweaty, dirty helmet ?
Exactly, mine is just left hanging on the stem.
I imagine the resale value for a used helmet is pretty minimal.
Why can't the lock go through any of the vents, or even the straps? sure they could cut them, but then the helmet is useless.
You have to wonder just how daft the inventors are not to have thought of that at any point in their development process.
I have seen other helmets with re-inforced vents labelled as lock ports (e.g. https://kaliprotectives.com/products/cruz?variant=32308857634910 or https://www.giro.com/p/sutton-mips-urban-bike-helmet/100000001800000010....)
I imagine without reinforcement there is a risk that using a vent for locking could compromise the strength of the helmet if it gets knocked or any weight put through it. But I really don't see the point of sticking that little cover on it - if nothing else it looks silly (IMHO).
I often lock my helmet through the straps and agree it seems like an adequate solution. Possibly there is again a risk that the helmet might swing around a bit more and get bashed? Or that someone might cut the straps and sew in new ones?
