Motorcycle Helmets
Riding a motorcycle is risky, even if you’re well experienced. That’s why you need good safety gear to protect you in case there’s an accident. One of the most important aspects of safety is the right helmet. Without a helmet, you risk sustaining serious injuries and even permanent damage to your head and neck. Motorcycle helmets are specifically designed to dampen the impact and protect the rider’s head during an accident. Even the smallest impact without the protection of the helmet can lead to concussions, fractures, and other such serious injuries.

Full Face Motorcycle Helmets
There are many different kinds of Full Face Motorcycle Helmets available in the market and most riders struggle to choose the right one. It’s vital to understand the merits of different types of helmets before you make your choice and buy a specific one. This page explains our full-face motorcycle helmet collection. We have products from well-known and established brands such as Bell, Biltwell, and Arai and all of them have proven to perform well in real life conditions.
Customers hesitate to purchase full face motorcycle helmets because they are slightly heavier than open-faced models or other similar options available today. But they also have a number of features that make the slight added weight worth it.
These helmets are also known as sportbike helmets and have a full coverage design. They are made from solid, impact-resistant materials so they offer the best protection for your head in case of a fall or accident. Here are some of the key features to take note of:
- The full-face one-piece design ensures there are no vulnerable points in the helmets that can crack on impact.
- The full coverage design provides better noise isolation so you’re protected from the wind turbulence, traffic noise, and other such distracting sounds without blocking out noise entirely.
- These helmets are tested and approved by the Department of Transportation as they provide the highest level of protection.
- They are available in a number of sizes and designs so you can find something that provides great protection but also looks good when you wear it as well. They’re also surprisingly comfortable, especially if you choose the right fit and ensure the helmet isn’t too tight. All of these features make full face motorcycle helmets a good choice for you.
Modular Helmets
Modular Helmets are almost indistinguishable from regular helmets because they look nearly identical. But modular helmets don’t have the same features as the full face ones and the additional option to flip up your chin bar. This helmet is perfect for riding in groups. Want to have a conversation while your stopped without taking off your lid, it's easy with a modular helmet.
That’s one of the reasons why modular helmets have become very popular with regular riders and performance riders in the recent years. They’re also very popular with long-range and touring riders that want to enjoy their road trips with comfort and ease.
Characteristics of Modular Helmets:
There are some pros and cons riders need to consider before they purchase these helmets instead of regular full face helmets and they are:
Opening the chin bar – One of the most recognizable features of the modular helmet is the ability to twist and open the chin bar, which allows riders to savor the open air and sunlight. With regular full face helmets, riders are forced to remove the one-piece helmet in order to cool off. That’s not needed with this particular design.
Safety – Modular helmets are almost as secure as regular helmets because they cover the entire head, including the back of the neck and the chin area. If the rider is involved in an accident, they can expect superior protection and better impact resistance. These helmets are approved by the DOT as well so it has passed rigorous testing to prove it provides good protection.
The chin bar vulnerability – The chin bar does create a vulnerable spot that is less impact resistant than other sections of the helmet. Unlike full helmets, the modular helmet aren’t one-piece and the chin bar is held together by joints. If the helmet collides with a hard surface at the right angle, it can be damaged. But that doesn’t mean the helmet doesn’t provide adequate protection because the chin bar doesn’t break very often.
These helmets are available in a number of different designs and colors so you’re sure to find something that suits your taste and preference.
Open Face Motorcycle Helmets
The Open Face Motorcycle Helmet design is also known as the ¾ motorcycle helmet because it covers the head but not the face. This helmet has a unique looking design that gives a retro-feel which is very popular with the Chopper & Cafe Racer scene.
These helmets don’t really offer the same level of protection and isolation as full-face helmets do because the face and chin are exposed. If you’re a cautious rider and know how to take the right precautions when you’re on a motorcycle, you won’t have to worry about the reduced protection provided by the helmet.
The characteristics of open face motorcycle helmets:
The open face motorcycle helmets provide a number of advantages that make them a better alternative to full faced and other helmets available in the market. Here are some of them for you to consider:
Open design – The open design allows the air to circulate under the helmet and keep the rider comfortably cool. These helmets are especially comfortable during summer time or during long rides. That’s one of the main reasons why people prefer this helmet to other options available in the market.
Comfortable – These helmets are quite comfortable and light-weight as well, which can be beneficial for riders that don’t want any distractions or feelings of discomfort during their ride.
Price range – These helmets are relatively budget-friendly so if you want to save some money and still get good quality protection, this helmet is the right choice for you.
While open face helmets don’t provide as much protection as regular helmets, they do provide enough to make riding a motorcycle safe.
Motorcycle Half Helmets
Most riders don’t want anything to hamper their riding experience. They want to feel the wind in their face and see the scenery passing by without obstacles. Unfortunately, that’s not really possible with full face or even open face helmets as they’re designed to offer superior protection along with some wind isolation. There are other options available in the market for you so you don’t need to go completely without a helmet.
The best alternative to full coverage helmets is the motorcycle half helmet. This is designed to allow the riders to feel the breeze and experience riding without obstructions. The helmet covers the top of the rider’s head completely, however it does not offer any protection to the riders face.
What are the features of the motorcycle half helmet?
There are a number of interesting and attractive features that make this an excellent option for riders that don’t want to feel weighed down by heavy helmets. Some of these characteristics include:
Ventilation – This helmet allows the air to circulate around the rider’s face and head, which keeps them cool and comfortable in the warmer temperatures. Riders are less likely to feel overheated and won’t remove the protective gear if they wear half helmets.
Protection – These helmets do provide adequate protection to riders and have passed tests like all helmets available in the market. If you fall or are involved in an accident, you can expect these helmets to offer a good buffer between your head and the hard surface.
Visor – Half helmetsoften comes with a visor that provides wind and sun protection, which can help you when you’re riding during the daytime.
These helmets are ideal for riders that want to enjoy the pure riding experience without compromising their safety.
Novelty Helmets
Helmets are protective headgear and are designed to ensure riders don’t sustain serious injuries during a fall or an accident. Most helmets available in the market are designed with function and protection in mind and manufacturers consider style and aesthetic secondary. Many riders want good looking helmets that draw attention and match their personal sense of style, and essentially just want something to cover there head so they don't get in trouble with the fuzz. These helmets are called novelty helmets and they have experienced a surge in popularity in the recent years.
