Adventure/Touring Bike Helmets

Choosing the best adventure or touring helmet can be as difficult as choosing the right motorcycle. In fact, no other piece of your riding gear is more crucial than your helmet. It exists to protect your head during impact to avoid its injury and minimize possible consequences in the event of a road collision. Plus, a good touring helmet ensures a high level of weather protection, preventing you from getting distracted by wind and dust in your eyes. Some newer model adventure and touring helmets may also provide additional conveniences such as superior air ventilation or wireless communication.

On our website we have gathered plenty of adventure and touring helmets. While they differ in style and design, all of them are manufactured with adherence to some basic principles, which determine a quality helmet. The right adventure or touring helmet features a modular construction which includes three main layers, such as a hard outer shell, usually made of carbon fiber, fiberglass materials, kevlar or durable plastics, a special crushable section under the shell, and the padded comfort section that comes in direct contact with a rider's head. The majority of helmets also have a chin strap with a pair of D-rings that hold a helmet in place.

The basic three-layer design of adventure and touring helmets ensures maximum protection from fatal head injuries. Each layer serves a specific purpose and does its job to protect your head from possible injuries. The outer shell protects your head from abrasion and getting a hole due to contact with hard obstacles. The inner layer is maybe the most important part of a helmet. It absorbs and disseminates the forces that could directly impact your head in a crash. For this reason, it is made from light yet thick material that perfectly absorbs energy. The last layer is mostly about your comfort, yet it provides some safety features as well.
