Things To Consider When Picking The Best Motorcycle Helmet by 043xclusive: 11:26pm On May 06, 2018 |
Do you own a motorcycle? If so, you know that riding this two wheeler provides a phenomenal experience. When it comes to riding a motorcycle, safety should be our number one priority. After all, you can enjoy life only when you are alive. Therefore, nothing can be more important than wearing a helmet before leaving for a journey on your bike. Before you get your hands on a helmet, make sure you do some research. Below are some helpful tips to help you. Types of helmets Helmets that are designed for motorcycles are rounder than those designed for bikes. Moreover, you have a lot of options to choose from, such as open face helmet, modular helmet, half shell helmet, dual sport and full face helmets, just to name a few. You can choose one based on your needs. Purpose If you need one for your daily commute to work, make sure you go for a high end helmet. These units are comfortable and provide improved dynamics in addition to reduced noise of the wind. As a matter of fact, versatility and comfort are two things that you need for traveling, riding or touring. On the other hand, if you need one for racing or riding, you may want to go for one that offers extra features, such as aggressive venting and tear off posts. Features Following features should be considered when making a choice. 1. Material The material of the unit you buy effects other factors, such as the weight, safety rating and comfort. Common materials used in the making include carbon fiber, fiberglass composite and polycarbonate along with a layer of expanded polystyrene foam. Polycarbonate is cheap, flexible and absorbs energy. Fiberglass composite may flex, split and crush as it absorbs energy, but it costs more. So, make sure you know what your unit is composed of. 2. Weight The weight of helmets is between 1.4 kg and 1.8kg. Make sure the one you choose properly fits. If the weight of the unit is not even on your head, it may feel heavy on your shoulders and head. Your neck may also get strained. Unlike a Full Face, modular units weight more. Other features Nowadays, helmets provide many technological features, such as communication provisions, wind reduction measures and integrated sunshade, to name a few. These features improve you riding experience. Additional Safety Features You may also want to ensure that your unit has extra safety features, such as emergency cheekpad release system. This system allows you to take off the helmet in case of a medical need. Price Often, the price of a helmet is based on the features and materials. In short, if you opt for an expensive unit, you can enjoy better technology, comfort and protection. However, even if you spend a bit less, you can still get a decent unit. So, if you are going to invest in a good motorcycle helmet, we suggest that you consider the tips given in this article. Hope this helps.
