Fit?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All helmets should fit snugly without too much play or wiggle room. The helmet should also not be so tight in the cheek pads or head that it causes pain or pinching.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"532\" width=\"500\" data-init-width=\"509\" height=\"333\" data-init-height=\"339\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/istockphoto-1169514694-170667a.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" data-height=\"333\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How Does a Half Helmet Sit on a Person&#8217;s Head When Riding a Motorcycle?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The helmet should fit with no space between the head and the helmet. It should sit firmly without shifting around too much. It\u2019s hard to say how high the helmet will sit because this depends on the design and helmet type. Some will have a higher head shape and may appear to sit high on the head. But, as long as the inside fits properly, that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">When Would I Use a Motorcycle Half Helmet?<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because it doesn\u2019t provide any face protection, a half-face helmet is not suitable for all types of riding. For example, you should never wear a half helmet for trail riding or a day at the track. That said, there are some cases when people prefer a half helmet to anything else. They are especially popular amongst the cruising and scooting crowd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Casual Riding<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you don\u2019t ride all that often and you stay off the highway, a half helmet is an appropriate choice. Half helmets don\u2019t offer the face protection you should have for higher speeds. That said, if you keep it slow, a half helmet does the trick.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Commuting<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you don\u2019t ride on any high-speed motorways, commuting is a great application for a half helmet. Traffic is generally slow-moving, and the open-face design gives you a good view of what\u2019s going on around you.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Cruising<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cruising is a style of riding that\u2019s slow and deliberate. Think driving down a country road on a warm fall day. Because the point of cruising is to take your time and enjoy the ride, a half helmet is a suitable choice.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"534\" width=\"432\" data-init-width=\"453\" height=\"324\" data-init-height=\"340\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/man-2517015__340.jpg\" data-width=\"432\" data-height=\"324\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Review of the Best Motorcycle Half Helmets<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the best motorcycle half helmets on the market today:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Best Overall:<\/strong>Bell Pit Boss Helmet<\/h3>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"526\" width=\"472\" data-init-width=\"750\" height=\"472\" data-init-height=\"750\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1-5.jpg\" data-width=\"472\" data-height=\"472\" style=\"\" data-link-wrap=\"true\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\">5-year warranty<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">Antimicrobial microfiber liner<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">Speed Dial system to adjust for the ideal fit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">Integrated speaker pockets to add an aftermarket communication device<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">Drop-down sunshade to protect against the sun and removable neck curtain for cold-weather riding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"\">The chin strap is thin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"\">No face coverage or protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Type of Helmet:<\/strong>&nbsp;Street riding, cruising<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Materials Used:<\/strong>&nbsp;TriMatrix composite shell made of Kevlar, carbon, and fiberglass<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Brand:<\/strong>&nbsp;Bell<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Type:<\/strong>&nbsp;Half<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Certifications:<\/strong>&nbsp;DOT<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Clasp type:<\/strong>&nbsp;D-ring<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Weight:<\/strong>&nbsp;2.44 lbs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What Types of Activities is the Bell Pit Boss Helmet Best For?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Pit Boss is best for slow speeds.

These include:<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Wider Field of Vision<\/h3>\n<p>Since nothing is covering the front of the face, half helmets provide a wide view. For commuters, this is useful to check peripheral vision in traffic. Having a wide field of vision is especially nice for cruising. When you\u2019re going for a leisurely drive down a country road, you want to be able to take in the whole scene.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Open to Air<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another reason people like half helmets is that they can feel the wind and sun on their faces.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a great experience when cruising. It helps you experience the world around you better than you could if you were wearing a full-face helmet.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Lightweight<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half helmets are some of the lightest helmets on the market. This makes them very comfortable to wear. If you\u2019re planning a long cruising tour through backroads, a lightweight helmet is a good choice.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"536\" width=\"282\" data-init-width=\"258\" height=\"372\" data-init-height=\"340\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/helmet-2182896__340.jpg\" data-width=\"282\" data-height=\"372\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Motorcycle Helmets Full Face vs Half &#8211; Comparison Overview<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are a lot of significant differences between a full face and a half helmet. If you\u2019re trying to decide which is best for you, here are some of the main things to consider.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Protection<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Full-face helmets are the safest <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/types\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"outline: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">type of motorcycle helmets<\/a> available. They protect the head, face, and jaw. Half helmets only protect the top, back, and sides of the head. If you\u2019re a casual rider or if you spend your time riding a <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/cruiser\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cruiser<\/a> on scenic drives, a half helmet might provide enough protection. But for high-speed riding on highways or the track, a full-face helmet is the <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/safest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safest option<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Ventilation<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Full-face helmets can be very hot if they do not have a <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/ventilated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proper ventilation system<\/a>. Even if they do, a half-face helmet is significantly cooler and allows more air to flow.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Weight<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half helmets are the lightest of all helmet styles. Full face helmets are much heavier, though they aren\u2019t the heaviest type of helmet. <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/modular\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Modular helmets<\/a> usually weigh the most. This is because, besides covering the whole head, they have the hardware to lift the chin bar and visor.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half helmets aren\u2019t meant for every riding situation, but they do have their place. If you\u2019re a casual rider or prefer long, slow drives to take in the scenery on a cruiser, a half helmet might be a good option.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"538\" width=\"467\" data-init-width=\"467\" height=\"340\" data-init-height=\"340\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/helmet-1368871__340.jpg\" data-width=\"467\" data-height=\"340\"><\/span><div class=\"hvacacta-table__column-button\">\r\n    <a href=\"#see-table-button\" class=\"hvacacta-table__button\">See Comparison Table \u2192<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>\r\n    document.querySelectorAll('a[href^=\"#see-table-button\"]').forEach((anchor) => {\r\n    anchor.addEventListener('click', function (e) {\r\n    e.preventDefault()\r\n\r\n    document.querySelector('.hvattbl2-container').scrollIntoView({\r\n    behavior: 'smooth',\r\n    })\r\n    })\r\n    })\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">People Also Ask<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you\u2019re trying to figure out if a half helmet is right for you, you probably have a lot of questions. Here are some of the most common things that people wonder about when researching half helmets.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Are Half Motorcycle Helmets Safe?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half motorcycle helmets are not the safest option. If your biggest concern is safety, a full-face helmet is a way to go. That said, half helmets do protect the top, back, and sides of your head. Remember, any helmet is better than no helmet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Are Half Helmets DOT Approved?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes, they are. But DOT approval is not as difficult to get as Snell approval. Snell performs more rigorous testing which is much harder to pass. No half helmets are Snell approved.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Size is 03 In a Half Shell Motorcycle Helmet?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That depends on the manufacturer. Each manufacturer has its sizing system. The best way to make sure you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/measure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">getting the right size is to use a tailor\u2019s tape measure<\/a>. Place it around the widest part of your head. This is typically right about the eyebrows. Once you know this, you can find the right size using any brand\u2019s sizing chart.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How is a Woman&#8217;s Half Helmet for Motorcycle Supposed to Look?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All half helmets look similar. They sit on the top of the head and stop roughly above the eyebrow. Some people think that certain styles make the rider look like they have a \u201cmushroom head.\u201d This is one reason why <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/low-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-profile helmets<\/a> are popular.<\/p>\n<p><span><img alt=\"\" data-id=\"540\" width=\"418\" data-init-width=\"807\" height=\"447\" data-init-height=\"863\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/speedymoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/88cfc4c8e0ca0a248f153040ca8debf3.jpg\" data-width=\"418\" data-height=\"447\" style=\"\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/88\/cf\/c4\/88cfc4c8e0ca0a248f153040ca8debf3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How to Attach Goggles to Motorcycle Half Helmet<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some clips work to attach goggles to a half helmet. That said, your best bet is to get a pair that you can wear under the helmet. Clipping it to the helmet can make it difficult to get the goggles off and on. Plus, you don\u2019t want to do anything that can interfere with your concentration while riding.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How Safe Are Half Shell Motorcycle Helmets?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half shell motorcycles are safer than wearing no helmet at all. But, they don\u2019t provide a lot of protection. They only cover a small part of the head and leave the face and jaw open. In an accident, a half shell helmet leaves the rider very exposed.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Are Half Helmets Called?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Half helmets are often called half shells or jockey helmets. Sometimes, they are lumped into the category of open face helmets. But, this term this mostly applies to <a href=\"https:\/\/speedymoto.com\/motorcycles\/helmets\/3-4ths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00be helmets<\/a> that only leave the chin exposed.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Are Motorcycle Half Helmets Made Of?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It depends on the manufacturer. The outer shells of half helmets are made from the same materials as full-face helmets. But, this varies from one brand to the next. Some common materials are carbon fiber and polycarbonate. Composites made of Kevlar, carbon, and fiberglass are also popular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Half-helmets are the perfect choice for any motorcycle rider who likes to feel the wind on their face and the sun on their skin.
