As another companion piece to our collection of the 8 Best DOT Approved Half Helmets, we bring you our Top 5 Full Face Motorcycle Helmets.
Riding a motorcycle is an incredible hobby. It’s exhilarating, freeing, and even therapeutic at times. However, with all of the positive benefits that motorcycle riding brings, the dangers can be life-changing. You are far more exposed than you would be driving a car and far more likely to get seriously injured if you find yourself in an accident.
When it comes to riding, there is nothing more important to protect than your head. Brain injuries are permanent, so it’s best to avoid them. In my personal opinion, half helmets may look cooler and feel better while riding. However, if you are looking for the utmost protection, a full face motorcycle helmet is the way to go.
With that in mind, we’re giving you our Top 5 Full Face motorcycle helmet options based on cost and protection.
