Motocross Helmets

Motocross is one of the most fun and exhilarating sports on the planet, but it can be one of the most dangerous too, if you don't have the right motocross gear. The number one most important piece of Motocross gear you will ever own is your helmet. Find out how your safety can be affected by your Motocross helmets, and why it's essential to find the correct fit. Full-face helmets completely cover your head and offer the maximum protection, but may seem bulky when riding. The open-face helmet protects around the top and sides of your head, with protection down to your neck line in the back, but it does not protect your chin. Your Motocross helmets should fit snugly, but shouldn't be uncomfortably tight. Because your helmet will loosen up a bit as the liner compresses with use, your new motocross helmets should be as tight as possible when you buy it. Your helmet should sit squarely on your head (not tilted back like a hat), and the cheek pads should touch your cheeks comfortably. There should be no gaps between your temples and the brow pads, and on full-face helmets the face shield shouldn't touch your nose or chin when you press on the chin piece.

Remember these fit tips when shopping and you can significantly reduce your chances of injury while riding.
