How To Choose The Right Helmet

Wearing a fitting motorcycle helmet can be determined as the first and most important line of defense against any mishap. We know it can also mean the difference between a comfortable and miserable journey. As you browse through the many options, online and in-store, we have tips to help you find a safe helmet that's right for you.

    1. The Type of Helmet

There are several types of motorcycle helmets are available in the market: full-faced, half-faced, modular, off-road, etc. so first you have to finalize your need and what you are comfortable with. Some of the helmet types are given below

• Full-face helmets
• Half-face helmets
• Modular helmets
• Half-shell helmets
• Off-road helmets
• Dual-sport helmets

     2. Find head size and shape

Helmets come under different size options starting from XXS to XXL, in some brands up to 4XL too. Your helmet should be the right size for both comforts and crash performance. It's not rocket science, you need to measure your head. However, the fit and comfort may vary depending on the shape of your head too. There's no point in wearing a helmet that doesn't fit your head. That's because a headgear that's too big will hang around your head. And a headgear that's too small will put pressure on the wrong place on your head. If this is the case with the bike helmet you are using currently change it as soon as possible.

     3. Ventilation

In a tropical country like Kuwait, good helmet ventilation is a must. Since it is summer most of the year, most motorcyclists try to not wear helmets to avoid sweating and suffocation. However, to stay safe, you need to learn how to choose the right helmet with the right vents for airflow. Now different manufacturers have different vent locations. Choose the one that seems to give you more room to breathe. Also check if they can be closed, which may be necessary during monsoons and winters. In addition to these standard requirements, you can also pay attention to the quality of the EPS foam interior, straps, and the color of the helmet. However, your primary focus should be on the type of helmet you want.

     4. Visor

Most branded helmets have a scratch- and dust-resistant visor. Some helmet brands also have a built-in sun visor that can be opened and closed using a button or clip mechanism. Also, look for the Pin lock system when you purchase a helmet because this allows you to make additional adjustments, such as adding an anti-fog visor and a built-in visor.

     5. Extra Accessories

Helmet brands have additional customization options for motorcycle helmets, such as the ability to add visor colors, Bluetooth, etc. if you want to customize your helmet you can easily do that but before adding any additional setting always ensure your helmet's safety.

      6. Safety standards

After selecting your helmet style, look for the ISI marking on the back. The proper certification must for all types of helmets. The ISI mark indicates that it has been approved by the government and passes all security tests including minimal impact and penetrating capabilities; retention properties of the chin guard and a mandatory minimum field of vision.
