In this buying guide, we will see how to choose the best scooter helmet. Have you just bought or replaced your scooter? Necessarily, both for the law and above all for your safety, you will need to wear a helmet.
Thing? Do you already have a helmet? Did you know that helmets are not eternal objects and that they have an expiry date? Some 5 years, others 10 years. The criterion is based on construction materials, i.e., thermoplastic resins the former and Kevlar the latter.
If you have an expired helmet, you should change it because it could be dangerous for your health, although it may appear aesthetically in good shape. Even more so if the surface is damaged, even if only by scratches, its impact-resistant power may have been reduced over time.
It will be useful to replace your helmet even if you change your bike or habits. Maybe you have just moved to a higher displacement, and you need a product that is more suited to the performance of a more performing and more demanding and dangerous bike.
You may also decide to choose the best scooter helmet in case you change your driving habits. Maybe you start taking different, longer, and more demanding routes, and then you will need a helmet that guarantees you greater safety.
Models
Let’s see together how to choose the best scooter helmet based on the model. First of all, avoid choosing a product exclusively for aesthetic reasons. You could regret it and throw your money away.
The jet model with a long visor: especially useful if you don’t have a windshield to protect you. It is a versatile product, suitable for the city as well as for suburban roads. Both in summer and winter, it will guarantee you comfort.
The jet model with a short visor: like the previous model, can be useful in different circumstances. Also suitable for motorcycles without windshields. With the less lenient temperatures of winter, you will still have to wear a garment to protect the neck.
Basic Jet model: suitable for summer, comfortable, and without frills. It will ensure reliability against shocks but certainly will not protect you from winter temperatures.
Integral: consider the use of the vehicle. You probably won’t need it with a scooter. It will guarantee you an excellent level of protection as long as you get used to wearing it, given its not excellent practicality.
Do you have clearer ideas now on how to choose the best scooter helmet? I really hope so, and you have to choose the one you like best.
