When buying a helmet for motorcycle riding, what should you check?

Correct answer

Approval, suitable size and fit, and good condition.

Check approval for that use under UNECE Regulation R22, the correct size and fit, and good condition. Check labelling, instructions and fastening, and wear it properly fastened. Brand or price cannot replace approval, and an approved helmet that fits poorly is unsuitable. Material alone does not establish protection either. Do not rely on a damaged helmet or one with an unknown impact history.
