FACT- Eight out of ten riders in a crash suffer an impact to the head! Full-face or not? Experienced riders call open-face helmets ‘chin graters’, so if you want to keep your good looks, then treat yourself to a new, full-face helmet. What to look for in a helmet Make sure your helmet fits snugly, it shouldn’t be too tight or too loose. Make sure you go and try on the helmet. Different helmets will fit differently and a retailer will be able to help you decide if the fit is correct. Helmets should be replaced every three to five years. No second-hand helmets Helmet damage can be invisible, so don’t buy second-hand. If your helmet is given a good knock or dropped, its ability to protect you will be less. Helmet safety standards An approved motorcycle helmet is one that complies with one or more of the approved international standards. - See an earlier post on Sharp standards!
