Motorcycle helmets

What are the most popular helmets?

The most popular helmet is the 'full face helmet'. Full face helmets are a type of helmet which cover the entire head and are frequently used for motorsport purposes. Flip up helmets are similiar to full face helmets, but with one very important difference: the chin bar is movable. These helmets are often used for touring purposes. Open face helmets offer you the ultimate motorcycle experience. These helmets don't have a chin bar, offer the best field of view and are often used by riders of custom and retro motorcycles.

How do I choose my helmet?

The best motorcycle helmets are the ones that fit snuggly and securely around your head and face. Every skidlid has its own fit, and no helmet will feel the same. It can be difficult to determine which size you need, but luckily we have a convenient size chart that you can use for that.

How long can I use my helmet?

It is important to realise that a motorcycle helmet has a limited lifetime and can go ‘out of date’. If you drop the helmet on a hard surface, or if you’ve been in an accident with your helmet, then it must be replaced. Even if you don’t use the helmet much, or it looks in perfect nick. Therefore we recommend not to buy a used helmet. It is unsafe to ride around with a damaged or old helmet. The lifespan of a polycarbonate helmet is between 4 and 5 years, a fibreglass (or carbon) helmet can be used for up to 7 years.

Why do I use a motorcycle helmet?

It is a well-known fact that motorcyclists are vulnerable road users, and for that reason a decent motorcycle helmet is very important to properly protect yourself. By wearing proper gear you will help prevent major injuries and possibly even loss of life or limb. That's why we offer motorcycle helmets that have been certified according to the well known safety standards.

Besides the fact that wearing a helmet is mandatory in most parts of the world, a helmet is also useful for a number of other reasons. The wind and rain can be a real interference when riding your bike, especially when you constantly find yourself in poor weather conditions. Motorcycle helmets also keep you warm in the cold weather and protect you from the rain and insects. These factors can make riding a motorcycle very uncomfortable and dangerous.
