Riding Helmet FAQs

How to choose a riding helmet?

When shopping for a dirt bike, ATV, or motorcycle helmet, consider the type of riding you’ll be doing, the helmet’s safety certifications, and the fit, comfort, and style of the helmet. Some riding helmets come with additional features such as ventilation systems, visors, or communication systems. Be sure that the helmet you choose meets DOT, ECE, or Snell safety standards.

How safe are riding helmets?

ATV, dirt bike, and motorcycle helmets are designed to meet rigorous safety standards and provide essential protection to riders. Helmets that meet DOT, ECE, or Snell certification requirements have been thoroughly tested to impact resistance, penetration resistance, and retention system effectiveness. That being said, no helmet can guarantee protection against all types of head injuries. For maximum safety, riders should always wear a helmet in conjunction with other protective gear, such as riding goggles. Check out this blog post to learn more about protective riding gear.

What is the difference between a riding helmet and a bike helmet?

Dirt bike helmets are specifically designed for off-road riding and have many unique features that set them apart from other types of helmets. Dirt bike helmets are lightweight, have a large opening for goggles, and offer greater protection and ventilation for more intense riding. They are built to withstand the impacts and conditions of off-road riding. Many dirt bike helmets have a peak to deflect branches and other obstacles during trail riding as well as visors to protect against sun glare and flying debris.
