Currently, 3/4 helmets are sought after by consumers in general and motorcyclists in particular, due to the benefits they bring. LS2 3/4 helmets are very popular in the high-end helmet market with many different designs, types, colors, and prices.
However, for 3/4 helmets intended for bikers who specialize in motorcycling, certain global standards must be met.
As a new rider on a journey to explore the world by motorcycle, you are wondering which helmet to choose as your long-term companion. This article will help you make the right decision.
3/4 Helmet - Why is it a choice for bikers?
3/4 helmets are always a shopping priority for experienced bikers due to their flexible features and compact lightness. Unlike other helmets in its class, the 3/4 helmet removes the front chin protection but still ensures safety, suitable for bikers who prefer comfort.
Safety
3/4 helmets are made of standard components that protect riders. The outermost shell is usually made of ABS plastic or carbon fiber to reduce the shell's weight. The intermediate layer is made of Polystyrene, which can absorb impact forces during collisions, reducing injuries on the road. The innermost layer is a soft fabric that provides comfort and ease when wearing the helmet.
In addition, the helmet strap is made of strong woven fabric that resists fraying. The 3/4 helmet strap helps to secure the helmet when worn to prevent it from shifting at high speeds.
With a special design that covers the entire back of the head, the 3/4 helmet also protects the ears, temples, and the back of the neck. It ensures your safety in dangerous traffic situations.
Comfort
A 3/4 helmet not only protects riders from collisions on the road but also helps block strong winds and noisy ambient sounds when riding on highways. Although it is a full-head coverage design, the special feature of the 3/4 helmet is its construction from lightweight materials with ventilation holes.
With its special construction, a standard 3/4 helmet has a moderate weight that makes bikers feel light and not heavy-headed, even on long journeys. The intelligently arranged ventilation system allows air circulation, providing a comfortable and cool feeling when worn.
3/4 Helmet - Safety Standards
A 3/4 helmet also has specific standards for quality inspection. For 3/4 helmets especially for motorcyclists, they must meet certain minimum requirements and pass quality tests.
SNELL Standard
SNELL is a non-profit organization established with the goal of improving helmet safety. SNELL certification is voluntary, not mandatory; however, a SNELL-certified 3/4 helmet will be considered a standard, quality helmet.
To obtain SNELL certification, before launching a product, the manufacturer will send samples to SNELL for a prototype test. Once certified, the product may not be altered in design in any way. Random inspections will be conducted after the product has been released.
3/4 helmets will be tested at various temperatures and altitudes, and the sun visor and main visor will also be tested with specialized tests.
ECE Standard
The ECE standard was established by the United Nations in 1958 in Europe. If you want to ride a motorcycle in Europe, your 3/4 helmet must meet the ECE standard. Currently, the ECE standard is also applied in nearly 50 countries and is widely popular in the biking community.
ECE is considered the strictest standard among 3/4 helmet standards. The test includes checking the tensile strength of the chin strap, abrasion resistance, and other quality tests.
