Motorcycle Full Face Helmets

Full-face motorcycle helmets provide a greater degree of protection than other styles of motorcycle helmets. Like open-face helmets, this design provides coverage down to the base of the skull, offering protection in the event of an accident. Open-face motorcycle helmets, however, do not offer protection to the front of the face, leaving the area from the forehead to the chin exposed during riding and in the event of an accident. While many riders voiced criticisms of the early designs, advancements in manufacturing have eliminated many of these problems with today's best full-face helmets.

Advancements in Full-Face Motorcycle Helmets

Increased heat is one of the chief concerns with full-face motorcycle helmets. In addition to flip-up face guards that allow heat to escape, most helmets now include vents. The flip-up face guard may also be treated, so that it does not accumulate fog on the inside. As with other protective riding gear, composite materials, such as carbon fiber and Kevlar, may be integrated into the helmet to increase protection without adding weight.

Many designs are available on full-face motorcycle helmets, giving riders the ability to choose a style that matches the rest of the protective gear they own. In addition to solid colors, helmets are available with striking prints and patterns.
