How to choose an open face helmet
An open face helmet protects the top, back and sides of your head while leaving the face open for airflow and visibility. ECE 22.06 is the current certification standard, replacing ECE 22.05, and every shell here is tested for impact absorption and retention. Shell sizes typically run from XS through 2XL, so measure your head circumference in mm around the widest point before buying.
| Style | Shell | Visor | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three-quarter | Polycarbonate or carbon | Drop-down or external | Cruiser, cafe, scooter |
| Modular | Polycarbonate | Flip-up full chin bar | Touring, commuting |
| Carbon open face | Carbon fibre | Drop-down sun shield | Weight-conscious riders |
Fit and weight matter
A correct fit holds firm with no pressure points and no movement under a hand-roll test. Carbon shells cut weight by roughly 15 to 20 percent against polycarbonate, easing neck fatigue on long rides. Look for a removable, washable liner and a quick-release micro-metric or double-D ring strap rated to ECE 22.06 retention standards. Open face shells offer less coverage than a full face, so many riders pair them with goggles or a peak. AGV, Bell and LS2 models often include an integrated drop-down sun visor giving UV400 protection without a second lens swap. Internal padding from 20 to 35 mm tunes the fit across cheek and crown, and head circumferences from 53 to 64 cm cover the XS to 2XL range.
Frequently asked questions
Are open face helmets safe?
Open face helmets sold here meet ECE certification for impact absorption and retention, protecting the top, back and sides of your head. They offer less coverage than a full face since the chin and face are exposed, so many riders add goggles or a visor for eye protection and wind.
Which brands of open face helmet do you stock?
This range covers AGV, Bell, Nitro, LS2, Airoh and RXT. Options include classic three-quarter shells, carbon fibre constructions and modular flip-up designs, so there is a fit for cruiser, scooter, cafe and touring riders alike.
How do I get the right size open face helmet?
Measure your head circumference in mm around the widest point above your eyebrows, then match it to the brand size chart. The helmet should hold firm with no pressure points and no movement when you roll it with your hands. A washable liner lets you fine-tune comfort over time.
