Frequently asked questions about open face helmets
An open face helmet is a helmet without a fixed chin bar. This gives a more open and airy feel compared to a full face helmet, making it popular among scooter riders and motorcyclists who mainly ride in urban areas.
An open face helmet offers wide visibility and feels more comfortable in warm weather. It often fits more easily in a scooter storage compartment and is available in many different styles.
An open face helmet offers less protection than a full face helmet and can feel colder at lower temperatures. At higher speeds, you will also notice more wind noise and airflow.
Open face helmets can generally be divided into fashion helmets and retro helmets. Both are stylish options available in a wide range of colours and designs. Retro helmets have a vintage look and are often worn on classic bikes such as choppers and cafe racers. Fashion helmets are more modern and often matched with scooters.
Not all open face helmets come with a visor, although many models do. It’s important to check how much protection the visor offers, as some only protect the eyes while others cover the entire face.
For scooter riders, an open face helmet can be used year round due to lower speeds and shorter distances. For motorcyclists, it is mainly suited for warm and sunny conditions.
Open face helmets offer less protection and are less aerodynamic, making them less suitable for higher speeds or long motorway rides.
Open face helmets must meet European regulations and carry ECE 22.05 or 22.06 certification. We only offer helmets that meet these safety standards.
Yes, there are open face helmets with built in Bluetooth systems or prepared for communication devices. View our collection of Bluetooth ready helmets and filter by open face helmets.
The shape of an open face helmet can influence protection. Helmets with a shell that extends further towards the jawline offer more side protection and are less likely to rotate. More compact designs that sit just above the ears provide less coverage but a sleeker look. Keep in mind that open face helmets can create more lift at higher speeds.
