Favoto MTB helmet with visor, L review
A mountain bike helmet with a double in-mold polycarbonate shell over 20 mm (0.79 in) EPS foam, a longer visor, and a rear band designed to hold glasses.
Our conclusion A well-specified trail helmet for larger heads, and one of the few here that publishes an actual EPS thickness.
Favoto’s B025 is the mountain bike shape in this hub: extended peak, more coverage at the back, and a construction figure the maker actually publishes.
What the manufacturer publishes
A double in-mold polycarbonate shell over high-density 20 mm (0.79 in) EPS foam, described as absorbing and distributing impact. A visor described as thicker and longer than usual, giving eye and impact protection from mud and branches, and removable. A moisture-wicking liner. A one-hand adjustment dial. An elastic band at the rear for hanging or quickly removing sports glasses. Size L, 59–61 cm (23.2 to 24 in).
The 20 mm (0.79 in) figure
Most helmet listings describe construction in adjectives. A stated EPS thickness is a real number, and it is the material doing the actual work of absorbing an impact. We report it as the manufacturer’s specification.
The visor and the glasses band
Both are trail details that make sense once you have ridden singletrack in low sun. The peak keeps sun and branches out of your eyes; the rear band holds glasses on the helmet when the light changes under tree cover, rather than in a pocket where they get sat on.
On the standard, and on impacts
Favoto declares the applicable marking; we report that and do not assess it. As with every helmet here: manufacturers state that a helmet involved in an impact is replaced rather than inspected and reused.
What we rate and what we flag
Strengths
The manufacturer publishes an EPS thickness figure — 20 mm (0.79 in) — which most helmets here do not
A longer, thicker visor for trail use, and it comes off for road riding
A rear elastic band for hanging or quickly removing sports glasses
Compromises
A 59–61 cm (23.2 to 24 in) range, so it is a large-head helmet only
No vent count or weight published

The questions riders ask
What does double in-mold mean?
The polycarbonate outer shell is bonded to the EPS foam during molding rather than glued afterwards. Favoto describes a double-shell PC design over 20 mm (0.79 in) high-density EPS.
Can the visor be removed?
Yes. Favoto states the peak is removable, which is what lets the same helmet serve for road and trail.
