How to Select a Good Helmet to Ride Your Two-Wheeler?

It is critical to ensure that your helmet investment is well worth the effort and money once it's on your head and protecting you during rides. So, how can you know which helmet is suitable for you? What aspects should you consider while buying a helmet? There are certain basic facts that you should be aware of before entering the helmet store. 

How to Select a Good Helmet to Ride Your Two-Wheeler?

Here is some essential information you need to consider before purchasing a new helmet.

• Choose a Helmet Style

You've probably seen a variety of helmets on the market, including full-face, half-face, modular, off-road, and so on. You must first determine what you require and what you are comfortable with. For a cyclist, a full-face helmet is an obvious choice, but if you're riding a two-wheeler, a half-faced helmet would be good. On most street motorcycles, off-road helmets appear athletic and sleek. Modular helmets may appear spectacular, but they provide the same level of safety and functionality as full and half-faced helmets. Experiment with several helmet styles; don't buy a helmet only based on its appearance.

• The Certification

Look for the ISI mark on the rear of the helmet once you've decided on a style. The ISI mark indicates that it has been authorized by the government and that it has passed all of the required safety testing. You can purchase helmets without the ISI logo for less money, but they won't protect you and you'll have to pay Rs. 100 fine if you don't have one. 

• Choose the Best Material

The majority of helmets are made up of fiberglass composites, with carbon composites and Kevlar used in the high-end models. The insides of the helmet are cushioned and lined with air mesh to keep the insides clean and dry. Plastic ones should not be purchased since they will shatter even if dropped. Check whether the helmet is light enough to be worn for lengthy periods and whether the interior foam can be removed for cleaning. Most helmets can easily last 3 to 5 years, and paying attention to the little aspects will help you make the best selection.

• Clear Vision

It's critical to have clear visibility through the visor. As a result, a helmet with a scratch-resistant visor or a face shield is recommended. Try on the helmet to see how much peripheral vision you have and whether or not the visor fogs up. The visor of certain high-end helmets is covered with anti-fogging chemicals. 

• Ventilation

In a hot country, a decent ventilation system not only gives comfort, but also keeps everything cool under the helmet. Fresh air rushes through the vents, pushing stale air out and keeping the rider feeling energized. Channels cut into the liner of a helmet with a decent ventilation system allow for smooth air movement. When purchasing a helmet like this, make sure the vents function correctly.

Take Away

The most prevalent cause of death among two-wheeler riders is a head injury. Helmets are required by law in most regions of the nation when riding a two-wheeler. However, to save a few hundred rupees, some individuals go for low-cost, uncertified products, putting their lives in danger.
