When to buy Novelty and DOT Rated Helmets?

Post by narutooo » 23 Jul 2020, 17:40

As you may know that the motorcycle helmet law has been existing in most states for quite a long time. That said the helmet is something very essential and important for riders to ensure their safety on the road. 

Most riders, especially newbies are having a vexing question of what motorcycle helmet they should choose. If you want to find the answer to this question, keep reading this article until the end, also refer to more articles on HelmetsZone. I assure you will find everything much easier. 

It is advisable to consider these factors before you buy a new motorcycle headgear. 

Off-road riders and riders who usually ride at speed will always wear a helmet to protect themselves in case of mishaps. Among different types of motorcycle helmets, the full-face type is most recommended to use because it provides the ultimate protection to riders. We recommended using Vaga motorcycle helmets. This brand produces quality full-face helmets and other types like modular, open-face, and half helmets. 

No matter what style of helmet you choose, look for the DOT label on the shell first because it is the only thing to help you know whether the lid can protect you from a heavy blow or not. If you think the helmet law is a nuisance, then you should change your mind right away. There are many studies conducted to show the effectiveness of DOT-certified helmets in saving people’s life. You can find the number on the internet easily.

The next factor is the safety requirements. You know the helmet is safety gear, and it must be safe enough to protect you. The requirements result from types of riding, riding experience, and riding speed. As mentioned earlier, you should buy a helmet that is tested by the Department of Transportation to ensure your safety. Luckily, most motorcycle helmets sold in the market today have a DOT label on the outer shell.

Hardly ever you will find one that doesn’t have the label because selling unapproved helmets is consider illegal. Besides DOT, we also have another advanced safety standard set by the Snell Memorial Foundation. The DOT certification is mandatory, but the Snell is voluntary. Lids that have both of these standards are, in my opinion, extremely good. Information about DOT and Snell certification can be found here https://helmetszone.com/motorcycle-helmet-standards.html  

Low-risk riding and cruising style - Motorcycle helmet certified by the minimal safety standards will have different sizes and shapes. Novelty helmets, on the other hand, just come in German, Polo, and Classic USA styles. Novelty designs are different from ones certified by DOT. This type of headgear doesn’t have an inner lining. The safety of your head all relies on the outer shell and some padding only. That is why this type of motorcycle helmet is said to be used in low-risk rides or cruising. 

Your helmet choice can make a statement on the road. With one on your head, you are protected and it can reduce the risk of fatal head injuries if an accident occurs. When it comes to buying the right motorcycle headgear, the most important factor to consider is the risk likely to occur in the anticipated ride.
