Regularly there are news stories and other stories pertaining to issues relating to motorcycle crash helmets. Accidents resulting in fatalities in many cases involve riders who were not wearing suitable helmets or any helmet or other protection at all.

Helmet laws worldwide vary, but currently in the USA, there are only 3 states that don't require riders to wear helmets. Of the remaining states, 20 mandate helmet usage for all riders and 27 require motorcyclists under either 21 or 18, to wear helmets whenever they ride.

I doubt that the majority of riders would dispute the principle that wearing a helmet does provide more protection than not wearing one. But a lot of riders dislike having their heads enclosed and so often opt for inadequate, second-rate helmets that cover less of their head, are looser and, though they may look fine, do not offer enough safety.

If you are a rider who doesn't like wearing headgear, you should know that cheap motorcycle helmets do not have to be second-rate helmets. Read reviews and do some research before buying.

You should also know that perhaps the most significant aspects of choosing the best helmet is how it fits. For this reason, either try before you purchase or make sure the helmet you actually buy is sold with an adequate return or exchange policy.

The helmet must fit snug without being too tight or having locations that are particular points of pressure. A helmet that fits properly is tight enough not to move if you nod or shake your head from side to side. With the chin strap on, it stays put.

Avoid a used or no-name brand of helmet. Buy a helmet maker that has been adequately tested. Think about models from KBC, HJC or Arai. A Shoei motorcycle helmet is also an outstanding brand choice.
