Open Faced Helmets

There are many styles of helmets for bike riders or as the sophisticated say, motorcycle enthusiasts. Beanie styles and German style helmets might make you look macho, but there is very little protection for the head and none for the face in an accident. There are full faced helmets and modular helmets which are similar to each other in the full protection they offer. They protect the entire face and head completely.

Open faced helmets are the best compromise between all of the above styles of helmets. Your head is protected, the only area vulnerable is the chin part where the helmet is open at the bottom. It has vents so your head is cooled, and it needs to be for your head is completely enclosed. You have a shield which is not only removable but can snap into different position. If you take off the shield or leave it up you are basically changing the helmet to fit its name, because now your face is mostly exposed. The shield moves it from open to closed but not quite full faced because in full faced helmets the shield cannot be removed.

A more closed type of helmet takes more getting used to but is great when pieces from the road hit you. Other than a short ride to get some gas, the less protective helmets are definitely not a wise thing to wear. Open faced helmets are very protective, yet you can lift the shield to get some fresh air or a quick drink.

Open faced helmets( http://hubpages.com/hub/Open-Face-Helmet-Guide ) offers the best of all worlds unless one is racing, then a full faced helmet would be recommended. Icon motorcycle helmets are among the best choices.
