LEM Helmets

LEM Helmets is new to the U.S., introducing its head protection at the Sea Otter Classic 2019.

LEM is from Italy and has produced helmets for motorsports for the past 40 years. The company has relocated to Northern California and using their helmet expertise, produces bicycle helmets first introduced at EuroBike 2018.

We saw three road oriented helmets from LEM. The Gavia ($110) has traditional road styling with a removable visor.
