Choose your full face helmets ..
Also vital mandatory, a helmet is not chosen on unique aesthetic. Safety and comfort are paramount.
A
helmet can be bought in store and not by correspondence. The fit is
indeed imperative to ensure that the shape of the inner shell
corresponds to the shape of your skull (size may be appropriate in a
brand and not another). It is the security. Unable to judge the eye
protection (see our comparative), focus on the following points:
helmet SAFETY
Size: A full face motorcycle helmet is your size when you keep the face well without compressing provided. Once floor, hold it firmly. Your head should not be able to rotate inside.
Loop: The "automatic" systems offer the advantage of speed. But an adjustment ring must be present and show its effectiveness (jugular relaxed, less protective helmet). Double loop ensures maximum clamping each trip.
Vision: Ensure the right side vision (check blind spots) and the ability to drag eyeglasses or sunglasses under the helmet.
Approval (on the inner label): This is the standard DOT FMVSS 218 (for Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 218) indicating that the tests were also conducted on the chin. Last precision headphones ages well beyond 5 years. Needless to change if the state does not impose it.
COMFORT
Jugular: sheathed in velvet, it will be more comfortable. The leatherette cladding crackles over time and irritate the skin.
Screen: Would it to disassembly without tools for cleaning. A pin generously sized facilitates its handling, even with thick gloves. The notches should be firm enough not to cause the opening or closing accidentally in the wind. Finally, remember to ask the price of the screen as a spare.
Breakdowns: They serve demising in cool and refreshing on a hot day. Make sure the holes are well practiced behind them. Handling should be easy.
Lining: A rough fabric in contact with the palm will be more than the face. Removable, it facilitates washing.
Well done!
• A removable interior cleans easily. Some manufacturers offer cheek pads in different thicknesses. Pile oil convenient to adjust the helmet to the morphology or to give a face lift to an older helmet.
• A tab keeps the slightly ajar to let a thin stream of air for defogging the screen.
Frowned upon!
• The headphones supplied as standard with a smoked screen required, within only run on a clear day, invest in a second translucent screen.
• An attached screen Felt or foam cup in time and loses its sealing, leaving the door open to spray and breezes.
