Open face helmets were very popular in the 1970s, when there was a huge surge in motorcycle ownership in the US, full face helmets of that time were bulky and heavy, making an open face helmet a much more comfortable choice. Today they are becoming more popular again due to cruiser and touring bikes, especially in a matt black finish. We have open faced helmets that have deep visors which help to protect you again bugs and dust etc... And some of the open faced helmets have built in flip down sun shields so there’s no need to fight with your sunglasses on a sunny day.
Flip-up helmets are a compromise between the protection of a full-face helmet, and the convenience of an open faced helmet. If you suffer with claustrophobia and can't stand the thought of a full-face helmet because of glasses, or being able to talk to people with your helmet on, a flip-up may be a good choice for you. They are becoming unceasingly popular with motorcyclists that are touring or commuting.
Full-face helmets wrap fully around your head, and offer the best protection. All full-face helmets have a flip-up visor and the majority now come with a built in internal sun shield which saves you fighting with your sunglasses on a sunny day. There is a selection of different shell compositions to choose from which all vary in style, shape, venting, weight, interiors, fastenings and most importantly price. It is advisable to not just pick the best looking or the most reasonable priced helmet. Abit of research is highly recommended.
