The Sweet Wanderer Helmet comes in at around £120,
which is around £50 cheaper than the Sweet Rocker and a
search around the net can find Wanderers for less than £100.
The small visor (now fully integrated on the new model)
keeps water and sun (if it’s around) out of your eyes so you
can focus on the task at hand.
Style wise I don’t think that the Wanderer is the prettiest
helmet around and the Rocker is certainly better looking. The
Rocker also has the option of using a large visor, which offers
a little more flexibility.

So how does the Wanderer compare to the Rocker. The
Wanderer is cheaper than the Rocker, but I don’t think that
this is the whole story. Is it a poor man’s choice? No, I do
think that the Wanderer offers Sweet’s excellent quality and
protection at a more reasonable price than the Rocker range
but the big thing for me is the fit.
I could own a Rocker and I did for a short period of time but
the fit wasn’t comfortable for my head. The Wanderer is
shaped slightly differently and for me is the smarter and
better choice. I am secure in the knowledge that Sweet offer
some of the best looking and more importantly, functional
designs in the market place and I am very happy to have my
head protected by a Sweet Wanderer.
