Helmet Buying Guide
Whichever one fits you best!
Fit should always be your primary concern when buying a Motorcycle Helmet. Things like style, functionality and design always come after that. Different brands have different fits, which is why we provide you with Motorcycle Helmet Size guides on every Motorcycle Helmet page. Once you're comfortable with the size you'll need, then you can start to shop for the colours, graphics and functionalities that you're after.
Yes, but it varies from rider to rider
The amount of noise that you experience whilst inside your Motorcycle Helmet is dependant on a few things;
- The design: This does come into it, some helmets are intrinsically designed to be quieter than others.
- The fit: A properly fitted helmet will have less gaps in the fit to allow wind noise through
- The Riding Position: Depending on how you sit on your bike, different helmets will react differently to outside wind noise depending on the positioning of vents, and the shape of the bottom of the helmet.
- The Style: Generally speaking a flip helmet will be slightly louder than a full face due to more areas that wind can penetrate the helmet.
- Accessories: Some helmets come with, or have available additional accessories such as wind collars and chin curtains, these can significantly reduce noise by creating a better seal around the helmets underside.
Yes and its mainly about weight
Helmet weight will make a big difference to your comfort, particularly if you're travelling any kind of distance and/or speed. Helmets can vary in weight by up to 500g, and whilst that doesn't sound like alot, when you're travelling a 70mph and your head is being pushed back by the wind, your neck muscles are working overtime to keep your head steady. Prolonged exposure to that will mean that you become more tired and less focussed much more quickly with a heavier motorcycle helmet.
