Motorcycle helmets

The first and only rule by which you can immediately understand your size or not – it should fit snugly at all points on the head (forehead, nape, cheeks). Fit snugly, but don't push. Open the visor, stand in the helmet for 2-3 minutes, if it sits tightly and does not create any pain – this is your size. Keep in mind that in the process of using the pillows a little crush and it will be a little freer. If you choose a helmet remotely, on the page with any motorcycle helmet, click "Find your size" and follow the size selection wizard. For online orders, returns and exchanges are also valid.

Absolutely all the helmets that we sell have passed the mandatory strict European certification according to the standard ECE22.05R, and ICON helmets meet simultaneously 4 safety standards (DOT FMVSS 218-USA, ECE 22-05 – Europe, SAI AS1698 – Australia and PSC – Japan), which indicates their exceptional reliability. Certified helmet, will not split in half and most effectively disperse the impact and protect.

The fact that the reference patterns of all manufacturers are different. The same size index, for example M, from different manufacturers may have a different fit. Moreover, different manufacturers produce helmets for different markets and different head shapes. Therefore, when buying a new helmet, do not be guided only by the size of the previous helmet of another brand. Always measure your head in centimeters and select according to the manufacturer's size table. Master size selection on our website will help.

There are two types of fasteners: ratchet and 2D ring. 2D ring is considered the most reliable, because it can not unbutton itself in an emergency, only this type of fasteners on helmets has access to professional competitions and Championships.

• integral or fullface (full-face) – the most reliable helmet that protects the face completely and is designed for the city. It can be bought if you drive on asphalt
• open or 3/4 three quarters – can be used on scooter or chopper. This helmet has more style and ventilation than protection. You can pay attention to this helmet, if you drive slowly and accurately confident in their experience on the road.
• modular or flip-up-in the closed position looks like an integral, but by pressing the button on the chin, you can raise up the chin part. Can be used on motorcycles of any class when riding in the city. Because of the additional mechanism can be slightly heavier than the integral.
• dual-sport helmet with visor and visor is used on motorcycles class tourist Enduro or motard. Designed for driving on asphalt with a short-lived exit on rough terrain.
• motocross-for motocross motorcycles, off-road and driving on the tracks. Is used only with mask. In the city it can be used on the motard, but due to the design of the visor can create wind resistance at a speed of over 80 km/h and this helmet will be noisy for the city because the front part is open.

With a dark or color visor, the helmet's appearance changes dramatically. An additional visor is the best thing you can do after buying a new helmet. Color and dark visors are designed for daytime use, but motorists with experience use them at night if the roads are lit. We recommend you to look at a selection of photos from our instagram with helmets, which have visors.

In order to find out what kind of visor is suitable for your helmet, find the same helmet on the website and in the block "recommended products" will be a list of visors. If you have any questions, just give us a call.

Visors come in a variety of blackout:

• yellow-these visors do not obscure, but on the contrary make objects more contrast and brighter, it's a pleasure to go at dusk or at night in them, you can see better than in transparent!
• light tinted or mirrored with a color shade - this is the best option, the degree of darkening they are the same. Most motorists at night on a lighted road in them comfortable. In a light tinted and mirrored face is not visible.
• dark tinting – the darkest blackout

The manufacturer recommends dark visors for daytime use only.

Strength

All visors are made of durable polycarbonate, the outer side is scratch resistant. The visor does not crack or split when hit by stones from the road.

Tint

On dark visors tinting is performed by adding tinted pigment to the plastic. Mirror visors have sputtering, creating the effect of a mirror, on top it is protected from scratches. On extent blackout tinted and mirror roughly same assessment (exception – the most the dark tinting dark smoke). A common misconception of beginners is that of the transparent visor can make the dark with a tinted film or paint from balonchika. In this way you will spoil the transparent visor and the result will not please you.

Cannot be polished

We must understand that the visor on any helmet-consumable. Over time, he sandblasted from the dust from the road, there are small scratches. Usually the visor is enough for 1-2 seasons depending on the frequency of use and compliance with the rules for its cleaning.

Basic rules for washing the visor

On the inner side of the visor is anti-fogging coating, the inner side is more prone to scratches than the outer, so you need to strictly follow a few rules:

• Do not RUB ANYTHING on the inside of the visor . It does so with a microfiber cloth and liquid for washing of glasses is also impossible.
• To wash the inside, it is recommended to lather the hand and lightly hold the visor. Wash off the soap remnants with a stream of warm water.
• Do not wipe after washing, must dry itself.

 

Do not buy a helmet just to have it. In the cheapest price segment, for example around 5-7 thousand RUB often come across some non-certified helmets. Do not be guided by the rule "I do not drive fast, I do not need a very protected helmet." Not fast it's still 60-90 km / h and this is enough to the cheapest helmet has not fulfilled its protective functions. Through couple of months or on the next season you would still think about buying let not the most costly, but quality slam, and prices in this segment will begin from 10-15 tys br Buy the right-with first times, this would protect You and Your might from re-unnecessary spending.

Pinlock is a transparent insert in the visor. Being installed on the inside of the visor, it eliminates the problem of fogging by 100%

The glossy surface is easier to clean, and the color pattern looks brighter. On a matte surface, the colors look muted, they are chosen by those who do not want bright colors. The matte helmet is tactile and looks unusual. For the undecided, there is good news, ask us and we will recommend helmets that are glossy and matte at the same time.
