Dirt Bike helmets need to be light but strong, while conforming to the country's safety codes. Made of fiberglass or lightweight composite materials (carbon/Kevlar) with options such as removable liners and venting systems.

It is vital to get the right fit when purchasing a helmet, too tight will stress you as you try to ride and too loose can even have it slip out of position or even off in a crash. efficiency.

The helmet you choose needs to fit at a number of points:

• Needs to fit at your cheeks
• Needs to be comfortable and not too tight at the top of your head
• and needs to fit right at the back of your head

Dirt bike helmets can be worn from ten minutes to a number of hours, so making sure it feels comfortable is vital. Too tight could give you a headache, distract you or fatigue you... too loose could have the chin piece push against you in a fall.

Never buy used dirt bike helmets as the safety liner or inner core is what deforms in an accident to protect your head. As this white form core is out of sight you wont see if it's damaged or not.

Make sure your new dirt bike helmet is both comfortable and snug and your size is fitted by a competant dirt bike salesperson.
