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.

8 Best DOT Approved Half Helmets

As a companion piece to our “Top 5 Full Face Motorcycle Helmets” article, we bring you a list of the best DOT approved half helmets for those of you that enjoy living life on the edge.  Although the half helmet is not nearly as protective as the full-face helmet, there are certainly some benefits.

First and foremost, I have always found that I feel much more free in a half helmet.  You can hear the growl of your bike better and enjoy the sounds around you a bit more.  Also, the visibility as a whole is much better in a half helmet, which does bring at least one safety benefit into play.  Half helmets are generally more comfortable during long rides and weigh significantly less. They don’t put as much strain on your head, neck, and shoulders as full-face helmets do.

Anyways, if you are thinking about making the switch from full face to a half helmet, here is a list of potential options you might want to consider.

I, myself, have both a full-face helmet and a half helmet.  I choose to wear my full-face helmet for colder riding weather and my half helmet for those hotter days.  Having one of each may be an option you would like to consider as well.

The short peak and Twin Shield System drop down sunscreen will protect your eyes when the sun is in the horizon.

Our dual-density EPS meets or exceeds DOT standards. Finish it off with a DOT approved micrometric, quick release chin-strap, and you have all the convenience and comfort of a traditional motorcycle half helmet, but with the technology of the future.
