Your helmet is an essential piece of gear, and there are a lot of choices out there. The right helmet can help to keep you safe on the road, while the wrong one will be more trouble than it's worth. To make sure that your next motorcycle helmet really works for you, follow these five tips:
There are different styles of helmets to suit different needs. Are you riding mostly to commute in the city? Do you ride adventure or dirt? Are you using your motorcycle for long distance journeys?
As you read through the rest of this section, keep in mind that this is a very important step. When it comes to helmets, you should never skimp on size. It's better to get a helmet that fits snugly than one that's too loose and potentially dangerous.
You can measure your head at home without too much fuss; if you don't have a soft measuring tape you can use a piece of string with a ruler.
There are three head shapes that most people fit: long oval, intermediate oval, and round oval. You’ll need a friend to help you with this.
There is no better way to find the right helmet than to come in and try on a few different options.
There's a lot of variation in the way that different helmets feel. Some fit well, some don't. It can be difficult to tell which is which until you've tried on a few models. Leave your new helmet on for 15-20 minutes. Just sit with it on in your house and check on the pressure points. If you feel like the he;met gets heavier, tighter or you can’t pinpoint the problem and just want it off, then this is not the fit for you. If you're still not sure after that, try another helmet—and another and another if necessary! It might take some trial and error to find the right one for your head shape and size.
A helmet should fit snugly and comfortably. The only way to know if a helmet fits correctly is to try it on. A good motorcycle helmet will protect your head in the event of a crash, but that's not all! An effective helmet should also be certified, stylish and durable.
Not all helmets are created equal, so make sure you're getting something worth wearing by trying out these tips.
