2021-03-14T14:57:37+00:00Updated on 2021-03-14 2021-03-14T14:57:37+00:00 by 360Ride Leave a Comment

We all take buying a bike very seriously. Before we cut out the cheque to the bike dealer, we do proper research about the engine, the body, the performance, the looks etc of the bike. However, we fail to do the same for our helmets. We don’t realize that a helmet is as important as the bike, in fact may be more.

Riding a bike in a place like India comes with its shortcomings. First and foremost, the weather is rarely in our favor. It is either too sunny, too foggy, raining or snowing. To add on to this the roads are narrow, full of traffic and potholes are a commonality in most regions in India. Riding a bike in our country can be a very tedious task full of risks. This is why a helmet is of utmost importance for all bike riders.

Wearing a helmet for both the rider and the pavilion has been made compulsory in many states. With an increase in accidents of road rage, it is also something that one should proactively abide by. But despite knowing the importance of safety, not many of us put in as much thought into buying a helmet. We do not understand the value of buying a branded and certified helmet. In fact, there are many people who simply pick up a helmet from the roadside.

Type of Motorcycle Helmets

There are different types of helmets available in the marker. Not just in terms of brands but also in terms of shape, design and their use. Primarily helmets can be divided into six broad categories:

Full Face helmet

Ideally, this is the helmet that you should opt for as it provides the maximum amount of coverage and ensures proper security. They also block noise offering you a peaceful ride. In addition to this, a full face helmet is also comfortable when riding in extreme weather conditions and provide protection from sun, rain etc.

Flip-up helmet

In a flip-up helmet, you can flip up the visor to open the front of the helmet. These helmets may have multiple visors. One for the eyes and another one that can be flipped up or down. These helmets are also generally heavier than the full face helmets.

Open Face Helmets

Open face helmets are also famous as 3/4th helmets. These helmets do not provide any protection to your face. They only cover the top and back of your head. There is no chin bar in an open face helmet as opposed to a flip up or full face helmet, which makes them less safe. They are lighter to wear and some people find them more comfortable. They do have a visor to protect your face from the sun or pollution but in terms of a potential accident, they may not grant enough safety.

Half Helmet

Half helmets provide very minimal safety and coverage, covering just your head. They may provide more air flow and be ideal for people who find other helmets claustrophobic. But with such minimal coverage, and no visor they are highly unsuitable for long distance or riding in extreme weather conditions.

Off Road or dirt bike helmet

These helmets are not for city driving and are for places with no roads or more dirt as the name suggests. These helmets have multiple air vents to keep the air flowing. They do not offer any eye protection but they do have a large visor and optimal chin support.

Dual Support Helmet

These are a combination of a Full Face helmet and an Off Road helmet. They look similar to off road helmets with multiple air vents and large visors, but they also offer more padding and comfort from the inside like the full face helmet. These helmets can be used both on and off roads.

Things to consider while buying a motorcycle helmet

We have discussed at length throughout this article how important a helmet is. Whether you are commuting to work daily or an avid traveler, a helmet is extremely important. It ensures safety, security and also makes your ride more comfortable. Buying a helmet can be tricky as most of us do not give it much importance. We’ve put together some important criteria that you should look for when buying a helmet.

  1. Design: As discussed above, a helmet is available in various designs. Based on your utility and comfort level, choose the most appropriate design. If you are a long distance travel, a full face helmet is a better choice, at the same time if you cover very small distances in a less crowded face you can go for a half helmet or an open face helmet.
  2. Shell: The purpose of a shell is to provide you with maximum safety at the time of an accident which is why it is important to buy a helmet with a strong and sturdy shell. Look for polycarbonate shells in your helmets as this material ensures strength but at the same time it is a light weight material so it doesn’t wear you down.
  1. Inner material: Comfort is another factor that plays an important part in choosing a helmet. Keeping safety aside, one must feel comfortable to wear a helmet. Choose a helmet with soft inner padding preferably one that can be removed and washed.
  1. Certification: We cannot put enough emphasis on this point. It is extremely crucial to buy a helmet with proper certification. You should never ever just buy a helmet from a local brand without ensuring proper certification. An ISI certification is good, but also look for DOT and ECE certifications as these are European and American certifications and they guarantee good quality.
  1. Ventilation: Proper ventilation is very important especially when riding long distances. Also, buy a helmet with multiple air vents that allow air to flow freely so you do not feel suffocated.
  1. Visor: Look for scratch free and anti-fog visors. This will make it easy to maintain the helmet in the long run.

Final Words

We cannot stress enough on the importance of a good helmet. It is unfortunate that most people do not realize the significance of a helmet until they suffer an injury. A good helmet is more important than the bike you are riding. Therefore it is also necessary to understand the features or specifications of a helmet just as you do before buying a bike.

We hope you enjoyed this segment and it helps you in choosing your bike’s most useful and vital companion. Always remember, choose a helmet wisely. Your helmet will protect you with your life.
