How Good are you in Choosing Motorcycle Helmets?
The most controversial motorcycle apparel is the helmet.
Perhaps, everyone is familiar why it is controversial. To
reiterate, a lot of riders are not in favor of wearing the same
- that makes it very controversial compared to the rest of
motorcycle apparel. Nevertheless, as for me, I will never
compromise my safety and very life by not wearing a helmet.
Join me and rate yourself on how well you know motorcycle
helmets and in choosing the best of its kind...
There are different kinds of motorcycle helmet. Full face
helmets are identifiable because of their protection around the
chin thus, giving maximum protection. However, they can get
humid and vaporous. Open face or three quarter motorcycle
helmet, on the other hand, protects the side of the face and the
ears. Often, its visors are detachable. The drawback is that it
offers no protection for the chin. Another kind is the hybrid
helmet. This helmet can be opened on the chin part. Moreover, it
is advantageous to those who wear glasses. Motocross helmet
varies from the rest of the helmets because it includes a dirt
cap. In addition, wearing of goggles can be done. Finally, we
have shorty or half helmet, this is the simplest form of helmet.
It offers no side and chin protection. It comes in flamboyant
colors and design that will suit well with a cruiser or custom
bike.
Aside from protection, one thing that you must also consider in
purchasing your helmet is comfort. Helmet must make you feel
safe yet comfy. You can have the fiberglas shell helmet if you
want your helmet to be high-impact resistant and durable.
However, you can have a polycarbonate shell helmet if you want
light and study helmet. Safety and comfort liners can also be
resorted to in order to have a cooler ride. Liners absorb
perspiration so that the rider will not feel drenched.
To be cool and relaxing, proper ventilation is indispensable.
Rider can, in his discretion, open and close the ventilation
system. Opening it will enable the air to leave the helmet.
Another factor that can contribute to comfort is the
ergonomically formed linings. Aside from that, built-in sunshade
or a pair of sunglasses can block the blinding rays of the sun.
Visors must also be optically correct and will not be an
obstacle to your eyes. If there are scratches, you can use
polish cleaner and scratch remover to do away with them.
Use these ideas in purchasing your dream motorcycle helmet. Also
bear in mind to choose light helmet to have a comfortable ride.
Buy only those that are tested and proven of high-quality and
efficiency so as not to waste your resources.
After all these details, do you think you're good enough to
choose the best helmet for you?
