"Whether you're a seasoned rider looking to replace or update an existing helmet or you're just getting started, selecting the correct helmet can be a difficult task."

Whether you're a seasoned rider looking to replace or update an existing helmet or you're just getting started, selecting the correct helmet can be a difficult task. In this article, we will discuss several factors to consider while purchasing a helmet.

Helmet Shell Material

The material of the helmet determines the number of elements, including weight, comfort, and safety rating. Most helmets are made of polycarbonate, fiberglass composite, and carbon fiber, with a layer of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam on top.

Polycarbonate flexes while absorbing energy (less expensive material). As it absorbs energy, fiberglass composite flexes, smashes, and splits (more expensive)

Carbon fiber – when struck, it distributes energy (most expensive and lightest)

EPS is a foam substance that has been firmly compressed into a shock-absorbing inner shell.

Helmet Weight

Helmets typically weigh between 1400 and 1800 grams. The key to weight is a properly fitting helmet so the weight is distributed evenly around your head and shoulders. If the center of gravity is off a lighter helmet can feel heavier and strain your neck. Because of the mechanism used to flip up the visor, modular helmets frequently weigh more than Full Face helmets.

Comfort features

Today's helmets feature a variety of technological advancements. Features such as an integrated sunshade, wind reduction measures, and communication options all contribute to a better riding experience.

Additional Safety Features

Motorcycle helmets have entered the twenty-first-century thanks to revolutionary safety features such as the emergency cheek pad system or a similar system that permits access to an injured rider's head by making helmet removal safer and easier for medical workers.

5 Reasons to Wear a Helmet

15th January 2021

"It is a luxury to drive a motorcycle and a perfect way for many users to get around."

The figures remain constant, though helmet regulations vary from state to state. Those that use a helmet are far less likely to experience a severe head injury in a collision while riding a motorcycle, bicycle, scooter, or skiing. The reason why people don't wear helmets, you've probably learned, is because they screw up their hair, they're bulky, they're too warm, or they don't really assist prevent accidents or save lives. Or you may have learned that a helmet might just save your life, but will leave you in a vegetative state.

That's the law

This is a fair enough excuse to wear a helmet.

It is a luxury to drive a motorcycle and a perfect way for many users to get around. You would not like to get fined for doing something you enjoy, especially when the fine is so easily preventable and you and your safety will greatly benefit from following the rules. Even if there are no helmet laws in your country, if you cross the border, then that state could require a helmet, and if you're not wearing one, you might be fined.

They reduce the risk of injury to the brain.

This is a primary justification for wearing a helmet while riding a bike. Helmets do not completely eradicate brain injury, but they are around 67 percent successful in avoiding certain forms of injuries, as mentioned earlier. The last thing anyone wants is for there to be a serious accident, regardless of who is at fault. Injured riders would even need to contact brain injury lawyers at times. This may be because the operator is not at fault and the insurance company of the at-fault driver is not prepared to cover any (or all) of the damages incurred to not only the motorcycle but also medical expenses.

Shielding helmets from loose gravel and other parts

Wearing a helmet can help you avoid hazards that can kick up from the road and onto your face, including rocks or other forms of debris. A helmet will also avoid dust from getting into your eyes and other stuff, which may impair your vision and lead to an accident. This may involve rain, wind, and sunshine.

Visibility is improved by helmets

Motorcyclists are, sadly, harder to see on the road than other vehicles. Even so, as a function of several helmets including reflectors or other types of materials that make them more conspicuous, a helmet may enhance the appearance of a wearer.

Saving lives

If more motorcycle drivers wore helmets, more lives might have been saved. Accidents involving motorcycles happen. They are not inherently more common than incidents involving cars and trucks, but riders are more vulnerable to serious injury. You might be a safe and vigilant driver, but there are still accidents. Luckily, helmets can help avoid severe accidents and death, and any time they ride, motorcyclists should wear them.
