How to Buy a Motorcycle Helmet

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Sherry, and I'm here to talk to you today about safety equipment, the most important thing to consider when purchasing a bike. This is the most important piece of safety equipment you will ever buy when purchasing a motorcycle and its helmets. We have many different styles, and many different vendors but always consider your needs when you're purchasing a helmet, price range, what kind of unit you're buying, whether that be a cruiser or sport bike, these can save your life. So we have many different options in helmets and carry many different vendors, from Shark to HJC to Shoei and Arai. They have many different vending options, entry level helmets, which range from the $130 range, to your more advanced helmets, which run in the $700 range. They're made out of many different substances and some of them are Snell approved and some of them are not. Snell is a crash test rating that they will have clearly on the back of the helmet, I would always look for that, that is a great thing to look for. Some of them do not, some of them have a lot of different functions, so always consider what you need when purchasing a helmet. They should fit snuggly, you should feel punch on your cheeks, they should not feel comfortable, and stick a finger in the front of your helmet, the rest is just profile and design and what it's made of and weight. So, once you get a good fit, it's all in what you desire.
