I ask you is really worth it?

Half Motorcycle Helmets

Also known as half-shell helmets, a half helmet covers only the top of the head, giving a motorcyclist little protection and exposing him to wind, snow, rain and anything that is caught up in it. The half helmet has been popularized by motorcyclists who style themselves as rebels, but is rarely seen on true long distance riders, because of how tiring it is to absorb the wind over hours of riding.

Full Face Motorcycle Helmets

The highest degree of protection is offered by full face helmets, which cover the whole head and almost all of the face and extend to below the chin, usually worn with a hinged plain or tinted visor or sunglasses. The advantage of a full face helmet is the protection against the elements, dust, insects and flying debris. Disadvantages include the weight and difficulty of conversing without first removing it. Racing helmets fall in this category, are usually lighter and easier for extended wear, but tend to be rather expensive, since they are made from premium materials.

One answer to this question is that a motorcycle helmet DOES require a certain amount of thickness to meet the DOT ratings. Whether this makes it ‘uncool’ visually, is more of a personal opinion.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, 14 percent of riders use helmets that do not comply with the DOT rating — defined in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218.

These non-conforming helmets are often ‘novelty’ type helmets made for fashion over function.

For me, there’s no way I would ride my motor bike with a helmet that does not meet the DOT standards. But, many riders choose to ride without a helmet.

Testing In 2006 the NHTSA performed there standard impact test on 9 novelty helmets andzero of them passed. Actually, none were even close. For the impact attenuation portion of the test , the average novelty helmet imparted 989g on the test subject. The minimum allowed to get DOT approval is 400g. In addition, many of the novelty helmet straps broke during the test… under relatively light loads [132 pounds vs. the required 300 pounds].
