What's Inside Your Helmet.


Hello! Today, I bring you some information

regarding helmet structure.

As you know, human beings like you and I are fragile. Should you have an accident, you

likely have some broken bones and some facial scratches, but there's one body part we can't must NOT damage - the brain.

The following are the basic or must-have elements of a helmet constructed to pass DOT & ECE standards.

1. Outer Shell - Strong protection composition materials such as Carbon Fibers, Fiberglass, or Plastics

2. Inner Shock Liner - The polystyrene Component of the Helmet that serves to absorb the energy from the impact.

3. Visor Part - Working like a window against strong wind when riding. Most helmets incorporate a quick release of visor. Can be clear or tinted.

4. Strap - Secures your head to the helmet or outer shell with a quick release buckle.

5. Comfort Liner - The part next to your skin comforting your head area that normally uses wicking type material that dissipates sweat and odors. Most of this part is removable and washable.

As helmet technology keeps innovating, there are many other features coming out in the market to bring more comfort to riders and also competition to the market. Those include Air Vents, LED light, and Blue-Tooth attachment, and so on.
