Choosing a Helmet

While color, design and price may be a part of your decision about which helmet to buy, think first about protection and comfort. A full-face helmet gives the most protection since it covers more of your face. It usually has a moveable face shield that protects the eyes when it is closed.

A three-quarter, open-face helmet is also a choice of some riders. It is constructed with the same basic components, but doesn't offer the face and chin protection of full-face helmets. If you use an open-face helmet, you should have a snap-on face shield in place when you ride, or buy a pair of goggles that can withstand the impact of a stone or other debris. Prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses are not sufficient protection, and they might move or fly off.

A "shorty" half-helmet protects even less of your head. It is more likely to come off your head upon impact. Therefore, "shorty", half-shell helmets are not recommended. Novelty helmets - characterized by a thin or non-existent liner - must be avoided.

A lot of good helmets are available today, in a range of prices. One look around your dealer's helmet display will convince you that nearly any look you could want from a helmet is readily available. Many manufacturers are color-coordinating their helmets with the newest motorcycle models. And the days of heavy or cumbersome helmets are over. They're made of lightweight, modern materials and are improved each year. Manufacturers are also working to make them less expensive, stronger and more comfortable.

What you must know when choosing a helmet is that it meets minimum safety standards. The way to find a well-made, reliable helmet is to look for the DOT and/or Snell sticker on the inside or outside of the helmet. The sticker means the helmet complies with the safety test standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation

For more information regarding the use of a proper helmet you can read the MSF guidelines.
