What To Consider While Buying A Motorcycle Helmet

Measure

Once you have decided to take off the helmet, first measure the exact size of the head, using a soft measuring tape, around your head, across the forehead, above the eyebrows, above the ears, and around the back of the head. Helmets are available in sizes from 50 cm to 67cm.

Head Shape

What many people do not know is that helmets have an internal shape, the main shape being round, earth, oval, and egg. Not all shapes will fit you.

Ventilation

Ventilation is important for a motorcycle helmet, and we understand the importance of ventilation when we are in hot summer traffic, so a good helmet must have ventilation that facilitates ventilation to the head.

Noise

Ears lose hearing when riding a bike at high speeds, so choose a helmet that fits properly, choose a helmet that fits your neck and ears, and wear earplugs to reduce the impact of noise.

Fit

Generally, a helmet should have a tight fit first, because after a while the padding will be compressed, and it will be more comfortable and easier to move your head and see what is happening on the road. All you have to do is keep your eyes in contact with the entire helmet. Customization – Many helmets come with pads/inserts/removable sections that can greatly alter how a helmet fits.

Helmet Interior & Liner

This is a multifactorial element to consider: the material that makes up the motorcycle helmet’s liner should feel comfortable against the skin; the internal padding of the helmet should act as a comfortable cushion between the head and the helmet internals; the liner shape should perfectly match your head shape.

What Are The Types of Helmets

Off-Road Helmets

Off-road riding is very important, there is a lot of risks, so you need to be careful with your head protection. Off-road helmets are made entirely for the protection of your head, also the helmet has nice look. Off-road/motocross helmets still have a full chin bar but also have an opening for goggles instead of a shield. Many also incorporate visors (often removable) on top to help deflect with debris, roost, sun, and even rain.

Half-Face Helmets

The half-face helmet covers the back of the head and side, the face is completely open, and the face has a shield to protect it from wind and dust, which can be made of plastic or other material. a half helmet is typically lighter and more comfortable for long-term wear. Excellent ventilation is a feature of the helmet. Integrated visor, and lightweight design.

Safety

Each country offers a safety standard for helmets, so check the safety standard seal or sticker when purchasing the helmet. international grading systems like ECE, DOT and SHARP, and SNELL all hold helmets up to a much higher standard.

Price

Money should not be a boundary when it comes to the safety of your head.
