Full Face Motorcycle Crash Helmets
Information and tips on full face motorcycle helmets and how they can provide safety when riding a motorbike on the road.
There are many different types of motorcycle helmet on the market, suitable for varying types of ride. One type of motorbike crash helmet is a full face motorcycle helmet.
What is a Full Face Motorbike Helmet?
A full face helmet is a motorbike crash helmet that covers the whole of a motorcyclist’s head and the rear, which covers the base of the skull.
This protects the rider from brain damage and spinal damage if the motorcyclist is involved in an accident.
The helmet has an additional part which covers the front of the chin to keep the head firmly in place if it is knocked around as it is completely protected from every angle.
Research shows that 35 percent of all motorcycle crashes involve major impact on the chin area meaning a full face helmet is the best at protecting this area when riding.
The helmet covers the face so there is often a cut out part across the front for the eyes and nose, which is usually made from a special type of plastic. Full face helmets also have a visor for the eyes, which can be moved up to allow air to get in.
Should I Buy a Full Face Crash Helmet?
Most motorcyclists opt for a full face helmet as they offer the greatest amount of protection, but some riders find them too restricting and find they heat up quickly, making them feel claustrophobic.
If riders ride off road they sometimes choose crash helmets without a face shield but they have a larger visor and chin parts instead for better ventilation.
80 percent of motorcyclists are killed due to road accidents causing head injuries, and although many have serious injuries to other body parts, too, it is the head injury that can prove fatal.
ThermaHelm technology can help protect your brain in the event of a motorcycle accident. The motorbike helmet technology works by triggering an endothermic chemical reaction inside the helmet lining at the moment of impact, to immediately cool the rider’s head.
