What to look for in a motorcycle helmet

A helmet comes down to fit, standard and weight. ECE 22.06 replaced the older 22.05 standard and adds oblique impacts and more impact points to the test. Flip-up helmets carrying a P/J marking may be ridden open, helmets without it may not. Also check the visor: a Pinlock-prepared visor with the insert included keeps your view clear in cold and rain.

• ECE 22.06 on the label inside the helmet
• P/J marking if you want to ride it open
• Measure head circumference above the eyebrows

Finding the right size

Sizing differs per brand. Every product page carries that brand chart, and the size advisor walks you to the right size in a few steps. Between two sizes, riding gear usually fits better one size down, because armour needs to stay where it belongs.
