Motorcycle Helmets: 3 things to consider before buying
When selecting motorcycle helmets, your safety should always come first. Look for helmets that meet recognised safety standards such as ECE 22.05 or the newer ECE 22.06, which are mandatory in Europe and ensure rigorous testing. Avoid helmets without certification, as they may not provide adequate protection in an accident. Remember, a helmet is more than just a legal requirement; it’s a crucial piece of safety equipment.
The right fit is essential for both safety and comfort. A well-fitted helmet should sit snugly on your head without causing pressure points or discomfort, even after extended wear. When trying on helmets, wear them for at least 5-10 minutes to assess their comfort level. Check that the helmet doesn’t move when you shake your head and that the chin strap fits securely under your chin. Remember, a comfortable helmet encourages regular use.
Motorcycle helmets come in various styles, each suited to different types of riding. For instance, full-face helmets offer maximum protection and are ideal for high-speed or long-distance riding. Open-face helmets provide more ventilation but less protection, making them suitable for leisurely rides in urban settings. Modular helmets combine features of both full-face and open-face designs, offering versatility for those who enjoy varied riding experiences. Identify your typical riding conditions to choose a helmet style that meets your needs.
