It is advisable to look at the price, the design and, above all, that it is a motorcycle helmet homologated very safe to circulate by city or highway.
Comfort, design, price ... and safety! All these characteristics are fundamental in a helmet and are in the list that is proposed in this article. Helmets are essential to ride on a motorcycle, not only because it is mandatory to use them and not to do so can lead to a fine. It is necessary to wear a helmet, above all, because its use reduces by 29% the damages caused in a motorcycle accident, according to data of the General Direction of Traffic (DGT).

Helmet integral or open? Depends on what it is used for
Helmets there are many. How do you know if you succeed in acquiring one? In principle, in addition to always buying approved helmets, we must take into account their safety, weight, ventilation and size along with the design. But also its functionality is fundamental, what use will be given.
According to this parameter, it is necessary to use integral or open helmets. The first are in one piece and cover the entire head, chin and nape. But depending on the model, they may have poor ventilation and less visibility than an open helmet. These, on the contrary, do not cover the chin and are lighter, although they offer wide visibility and are suitable for small urban motorbikes, but are not safe to drive on road or at high speeds.
It is not easy to choose helmet, so the following video can be very useful to choose the one that best suits each need.
What else is there to look at before buying a helmet?
The helmets do not expire, but they have to be changed from time to time. Why? For security. Their inner pads deteriorate and so does the expanded polystyrene layer that absorbs impacts. That is why, when it is noticed that the time has come to replace it (between five and seven years, according to the expert), we must not lose sight of some considerations before deciding on a new one.
Size is also fundamental. Why? Again, for safety. According to expert studies, more than 50% of buyers do not choose the size they need, which means that in the event of an accident, sometimes the helmet is fired. A helmet is our size if it sticks to the cheekbones and conforms to the skull. It should not make too much pressure, but there can not be any looseness either.
Issues such as weight and ventilation are also essential. Excessive weight is uncomfortable, but it can also cause more internal damage in case of an accident. And if the motorcycle is used for long distances, it is essential that the head is kept fresh, so it will be important to look at the ventilation of the helmet. If you live in rainy areas or need it during the winter, it is advisable to have an anti-fog system.
Aspects such as design or color also affect safety and should be taken into account (for example, bright or clear colors are safer, being more visible at night). And, of course, do not forget the price. Do not skimp on buying a helmet, but do not confuse quality with price, as there are affordable and very safe.
