The most important part of the equipment of any motorcyclist is the helmet. Don't try to save money buying a cheap and therefore a low-quality helmet. It should not be forgotten that there is always a risk of an accident, even if you are a careful driver. And the head is that part of the body, damage of which can lead to tragic consequences. That may be not only different kinds of head injuries but also death.
The main distinction between cheap, mostly Chinese helmet, is its quality. Do not forget about the rule: "the price matches the quality." And if you buy a cheap helmet in the shop, be prepared for the fact that it will protect you only from the annoying mosquitoes. And in a case of an accident and the impact of the asphalt coating such helmets would scatter into small pieces. Otherwise, riding without a helmet may end hitting directly the head. So it is better not to risk.
If there is a choice between a new helmet and one that is already used, you'd better give your preference to a new one. Especially, if obvious scratches or dents can be seen on the helmet and it's not about the beliefs or superstitions. The fact is that after the fall and the hit, loss of primary containment could have happened. Therefore it is better to apply to a specialty store for the purchase of a new helmet.
If you are not an owner of a bike yet but you really want to try it together with a helmet you can rent a bike in Dubai.
Also, do not forget that the helmet should not hang loosely and should fit tightly to the head. Wearing it, remember that the internal lining would flatten and at the moment of crash helmet might just fly off the head. The selected lens will affect the visibility: the black one is used during the day and in sunny weather, yellow - in rainy weather and the clear one is universal.
For helmet lens care it is enough to just wash it with warm soapy water and to wipe it with a rag. The inner lining must be periodically washed, so check whether it is removable.
The main and most important rule when choosing a helmet is fitting. Each manufacturer has its own dimension line, so you'd better spend a bit of time to choose a helmet of the right size. When ordering a helmet over the Internet, you can use the measuring tape and the dimension table of a particular manufacturer. But do not forget that the shape of the head may be unusual and it may cause discomfort while driving and as a result - an accident.
In any case, the choice of the helmet must be taken seriously: spare neither time nor expense. Quite often, on the quality of the helmet and how it fits the rider his life depends on.
