Why Riders Choose Half Helmets

  • Lightweight and comfortable on hot days.
  • Low-profile styling that suits cruisers and choppers.
  • Easy to put on, take off and carry.
  • Maximum visibility and airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are half helmets DOT approved?

Every half helmet we sell is DOT approved. Avoid novelty helmets with no certification, as they are not designed to protect you in a crash.

Do I need eye protection with a half helmet?

Yes, eye protection is strongly recommended and may be required where you ride. Wear riding glasses or goggles, or choose a model with a built-in inner shield.

Half helmet or open face helmet?

A half helmet is lighter and more minimal, while an open face helmet also covers your ears and the back and sides of your head. If you want more protection still, consider a full face helmet.
