Motorcycle Helmet FAQs

Why is wearing a motorcycle helmet important?

Wearing a motorcycle helmet is of vital importance as it significantly reduces the risk of head injury or fatality in case of an accident. Helmets are specifically designed to absorb the impact force, protecting your skull and brain from severe trauma. Moreover, they shield your face from dirt, debris and inclement weather, providing better visibility and focus on the road. Here in New Zealand, It is not merely a suggestion, but a legal requirement to wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle. Therefore, investing in a certified, well-fitted helmet is an essential step towards safe and responsible riding.

How do I measure and choose the right size for a motorcycle helmet?

Choosing the right size for your motorcycle helmet is vital to ensure its effectiveness and your comfort. Begin by measuring your head's circumference at a point approximately one inch above the eyebrows in front and at a point in the back of the head that gives the largest possible measurement. Take this measurement and compare it to the manufacturer’s helmet sizing chart to find the size that corresponds closest to your head measurement. Remember, helmet sizes can vary across different brands, so always use the specific manufacturer’s chart. After trying on the helmet, ensure it fits snugly but not too tightly, with even pressure around the whole head, and doesn't move when you shake your head. Lastly, always remember to strap on the chin strap and gauge its fit and comfort. For more information, make sure you check out our Motorcycle Helmet Size Guide.

Are there specific care instructions for cleaning and maintaining a motorcycle helmet?

Definitely, proper cleaning and maintenance are essential for preserving the functionality and longevity of your motorcycle helmet. Begin by removing any detachable parts such as the visor and inner lining. Using mild soap and warm water, gently clean the outside of the helmet, avoiding any harsh chemicals that could damage the shell or reduce its impact resistance. The interior lining should also be cleaned with mild soap or a specialised helmet cleaner, ensuring all sweat and dirt are removed. Once cleaned, allow the helmet to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources. Regularly check your helmet for any signs of wear and tear, including cracks, loose padding, or malfunctioning buckles, and always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
