Helmets
There are really two words that someone needs to remember when it comes to helmets: full face. The good news is that if you're willing to pay for it, full helmets are comfortable, elegant and secure… The same news is better, even if you're not willing to pay for the premium helmets (Shoei, Arai, etc.) The lower end DOT helmets can offer as much or even better protection (Article of the motorcyclist). Many fans helmets shorty argue that full helmets may be "less certain" that wearing short or non-helmets because "they obscure your vision" and a full-face helmet "can cause the head to bounce on the roadway and break the back… and I prefer to take my chances with a header that ravaged a fractured neck… "But I'll leave it to you, the reader, this figure for you.
