Buying The Correct Motorcycle Helmet - The Fit Is Where It's At
Buying a discount motorcycle helmet is no excuse for an improper fit. Make sure the fit is tight and snug regardless of what price you paid and whether or not you paid full retail or you bought it on closeout. A discounted helmet should fit just as good as if you paid full price. There are no excuses for this. An improply fit helmet will be less effective during a crash. So you head is on the line, make sure your motorcycle helmet fits you properly.
Every rider needs a motorcycle helmet. It's the law! You have to buy one, wear one and be comfortable in your new motorcycle helmet. Follow the following guidelines in purchasing and choosing your new motorcycle helmet. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers guidelines.
Be Sure Your Helmet Meets The DOT Standard
Make sure that your helmet meets the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 218. First, look for the DOT symbol on the outside back of the helmet. Then, look for a label inside the helmet stating the manufacturer's name, month and year of manufacture, construction materials, helmet model and size, and owner information. A complying helmet must have both labels. HJC, Shoei and other brands we offer currently meet the DOT Standard.
Make Sure Your Helmet Is Well Made and Not A Cheap Helmet
Helmets that comply with the federal safety standard will have a firm polystyrene (Styrofoam) inner liner of about one-inch and weigh about three pounds. They will also have sturdy chinstraps with solid rivets. Safe helmets will never feature spikes or other protruding decorations. We recommend an HJC or Shoei. They have years of experience and are leaders in their industry. HJC is the #1 helmet in America. But if you wan to buy the best helmets, purchase a Shoei. You'll pay more, but they are better. HJC's give you the most bag for your buck!
Think About Style
Full-face helmets offer the most protection in a collision. Plastic face shields protect you from wind, dust, rain, insects, and road debris thrown up from cars. If you buy a helmet without a face shield, be sure to wear goggles to protect your eyes. Remember, a windshield is not an adequate substitute for a face shield or goggles. And neither are eyeglasses as they cannot keep your eyes from watering and are easily dislodged. A popular model are the full face Symax models by HJC and the Syncrotec by Shoei.
A design such as the German Army style or skull cap style would be considered to be an unsafe helmet. Generally, unsafe helmets are noticeably smaller in diameter and thinner than ones meeting the DOT standard. Click Here to Continue »
