Harley Helmets- Protecting Your Head While You Cruise on Your Hog

By: Ken Av

Picking a new Harley helmet demands careful consideration. Because there are multiple styles and shapes, you should consider your safety needs, your biking activity and the overall appearance of your gear. We'll investigate several alternatives, setting down the foundation for your personal choice.

Wearing Your Harley Davidson Helmet
Lecturing you once more on the issue of helmet safety is incessant and unnecessary. Instead, let's agree that it's important to wear protective headgear, and use this opportunity to review the options that are available.

Full Face Helmets
Your head is completely protected by these helmets. It likely won't surprise you to understand that these are the safest helmets on the market. They feature a chin bar, together with a face shield and a resistant outer shell. These helmets are the perfect selection for people who desire to ride fast but are not interested in feeling the wind or rain against their face. Several options, such as the super-slick Harley "Ghost Smoke" style, are available. One disadvantage of these helmets is that often, riders report them to be very warm, despite them having special vents for cooling so that air can flow into the helmet.

Harley Half Helmet
The half helmet belongs to the opposite end of the spectrum as it relates to protection. This is for the biker who wishes to feel the environment while riding, at the cost of some protection. Half helmets mostly do not cover the entire head and don't fit as tightly on the parts that they do cover. Several half helmets are available with standard or not so traditional Harley styles.

Look for a three-quarter helmet as an alternative to Half and Full face helmets.

Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary Helmet
Because Harley experienced such overwhelming achievement in marketing their 100th anniversary celebration, the company opted to duplicate the effort several years later. Because of this, both 105th and 100th anniversary gear are available for sale. Helmets are included in this promotional plan. On some helmets, you will find traditional bar-and-shield symbols alongside suburb anniversary-style images. Several other Anniversary models are accessible as well. If you search the web, you will find lots of possibilities that can work just right for you.

Vintage Helmets
If you're looking for vintage Harley helmets, the perfect place to try is eBay or spotmotorcycle. Current models offer retro styling, while pre-owned goods offer unique designer paint jobs. Be cautious with a pre-owned model, though, since it may not be up to current Department of Transportation requirements.

Those are just a sampling of the Harley helmets models available. You may want to check out Harley Davidson on the web (www.harleydavidson.com) for more ideas. Or, search around a bit online, and you'll find yourself with lots of models to choose from.
