Shielding a motorcycle rider’s head is serious business, and a good helmet is the most crucial riding gear in protecting the rider. There are many styles of the helmets available in the market that choosing one can be just about as tough as deciding on which motorcycle to buy. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Full face helmets are one of the most popular styles of motorcycle helmets

Full Face Helmet
The ‘blue blood’ among all helmets, full face helmet has it all! As the name suggests, it covers the entire face. It protects all sides of the head, including the chin and has a strong face shield as well. In short, it offers the most protection to the rider - in the event of an accident, from wind, pollution and noise. Preferred by motorcycle racers, these helmets are also great for the long haul rides.

This style of helmet is excellent and a long-lasting option for cruise bikes like Royal Enfield and other powerful bikes.

Even among the full face helmets, there are a lot of variants available in the market. Keeping safety in mind, below are a few points to be mindful of, when buying this style of the helmet:

Easy face shielding functioning: Best full face helmets have an easy to wear and remove system to help the rider use the helmet most effectively.

High port opening: The eye port of some of the full face helmets gives the rider a higher aperture than the others. This feature is especially beneficial for sports bikers, as they require the eye port to be placed a little high. They need that in order to balance the low handlebars, which makes them hunch over to ride their bikes.

Removable and washable helmet liners: A rider sweats a lot when wearing a full face helmet. The feature of removable helmet liners is essential as it ensures hygiene and comfort to the rider, consequently also prolonging the life of the helmet.

Chin bar skirt: This is a really excellent feature of some of the full face helmets. It prevents the air from swishing up into your helmet as it hits the helmet from the front, thus protecting the rider from a sudden gust of wind which could distract him/ her momentarily.

Air vents & ventilation: It can get pretty hot and sweaty inside when wearing a full face helmet. It is essential to pick a helmet which has a good ventilation feature to keep the rider cool. Apart from providing a good air flow to the rider, this feature will also ensure that the visor fogging is minimised, thus enhancing the rider’s safety.

Padding to create a better bit: Different sized pads created to create a snug fit go a long way in making a rider comfortable and therefore safe while on the road. These are essential to ensure a good fit and to keep the head steady.

Bluetooth & speakers: In today's world, where constant communication is way of life, this is a defining feature in a helmet. With help of speakers & bluetooth fitted in a helmet, the rider can listen to music and make or take calls in a safer way. 

Safety ratings: This is a crucial element of any helmet. It should be manufactured keeping all stringent quality checks in mind and has to be ISO certified.

Minimise fogging: To help minimise fogging in a full face helmet, apart from just having a good ventilation system, find a helmet with a built-in breath box. This directs the rider’s exhalations away from the visor. One could also look for a model that is compatible with the pinlock system. The pinlock system involves putting a second lens behind the regular face shield, effectively creating a double-paned barrier that prevents fogging.

The motorcycle helmet industry has gone through a revolution in the last few decades. The importance of enhancing the rider’s safety on the road has seen many new age developments taking shape in the industry. Lightweight helmets using the latest technology, designs and advanced materials are available for the rider.
