Why a full face helmet protects more
A full face helmet covers the entire head, including the chin bar, which absorbs roughly 35% of impacts in a crash. That single feature is the biggest reason full face shells out-protect open and modular designs for road and track use. Every road helmet here meets the ECE 22.06 standard, the same certification mandated for street use in Australia. AGV, LS2, Bell, Nitro, Kabuto and Airoh all build to this layout, with carbon shell options for riders cutting weight below 1,500g.

How to choose
Measure your head circumference in cm around the brow, about 2cm above the eyebrows, and match it to the size chart. A correct fit holds firm with no movement at the cheeks. Look for multiple shell sizes, since a brand offering 3 shells fits a 54cm head far better than one stretching a single shell across 6 sizes. Carbon shells cut fatigue on rides over 2 hours. A Pinlock-prepared visor stops fogging down to single-digit temperatures. Pair your helmet with a jacket carrying an EN 17092 AAA, AA or A abrasion rating and armour rated to CE Level 1 or the higher-impact CE Level 2, so head, back and limb protection match. Replace any helmet 5 years from first use, or immediately after one impact, since the EPS liner compresses once.

Frequently asked questions
Are full face helmets safer than modular or open face?
Yes. The fixed chin bar on a full face helmet covers an area that absorbs around 35% of crash impacts, which open face designs leave exposed and modular hinges can compromise. For road and track riding, full face gives the most complete coverage.
How do I size a full face helmet correctly?
Measure your head circumference in cm around the brow about 2cm above your eyebrows, then match it to the brand size chart. A correct fit holds firm against your cheeks with no movement when you shake your head, while still letting you wear it for hours without pressure points.
Why choose a carbon fibre full face helmet?
Carbon shells drop weight to around 1,250g to 1,450g, well under a typical 1,500g to 1,800g composite helmet. Less weight means less neck fatigue on rides over 2 hours and less rotational load in a crash, which is why carbon is popular for touring and track.
