Do not go anywhere without a helmet.
It is statistically proven that most accidents occur within the city, on short distances.
Helmets not only absorb, but also dissipate and reduce the undesirable impact of negative G force to our head and brain during collisions.
In addition, please note: THE WRONG HELMET CAN KILL YOU
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A HELMET
Purchasing a helmet is as important as buying the motorcycle itself.
Style matters
If you don’t like it, you won’t wear it, and if you won’t wear it, it can’t protect you. Pick a helmet that matches your taste, your motorcycle or your preferences. Remember that bright colors are more visible, both day and night, thus improving our safety.
Size and Fit
When a helmet is not correctly sized or properly fitted, it might cause discomfort and distract you from driving. Take your time to pick the right size for you. Try on the helmet, fasten it and try shaking your head to see if it moves. If it slides on your head and feels loose, try a smaller size.
Visor
The helmet’s visor or face shield must be kept clean, free from scratches or visible defects, made to fit the helmet’s curvature perfectly. Its release and replacement mechanism must be silent and easy to change. Optimal visors have “glass” clear
quality and visibility, and stand out from the “dull” plastic ones that are easily scratched.
Helmet ventilation
Poor or no ventilation can turn a helmet into an oven. Check that the vents work properly and pay attention to the height and shape of the airways. The more prominent they are, the more noise they will produce. Good airflow is necessary at the visor’s bottom to prevent fogging and facilitate breathing, and at the top of the head to help cool the scalp.
The right price
Act smart and do not compromize your safety or risk your life by buying a cheap helmet that is barely up to standard, just to avoid getting a fine. Buy the best helmet available. You can save money by opting for a less fancy design.
Safety standards
Show the utmost care for your safety by purchasing helmets that meet EU standards (the latest version is ECE 2204). Helmets that meet minimum EU requirements carry a special label provided by the organization that issued the certification. Do not buy a helmet which is not labelled up to date, i.e. ECE 2204.
