No matter if you love to ride your ATV in mud, rain, sand, or just in dense off-road trails, you must have a properly fitted ATV Helmet.
Some people still opt for the open face helmets, although we don't recommend them. Accidents happen sometimes and on the rare occasion one occurs, you want your face as protected as possible. Full face helmets provide excellent protection. They come with a built in face shield and the moulding of the helmet extends over your chin and mouth for added protection.
Your helmet, no matter which type you choose, should be DOT and/or Snell certified and should fit snugly. It should be tight when you pull it on your head. As we've discussed in other articles, you don't want any room inside your helmet. You want your helmet as snug as possible so if an impact occurs your head won't slam against one side or the other inside your ATV helmet. When fitting children for ATV Helmets, make sure there is no wiggle room by shifting the helmet from side to side while the child holds their head as steady as possible.
You want a good seal around your ears, keeping the wind and noise out will actually improve your hearing of the sounds around you. When you're reading the boxes and specs on helmets it can be a little disheartening if you don't understand what EPS is. You will see those three letter repeatedly. Just remember EPS = foam type cushioning inside your ATV helmet. Therefore, the more EPS the better because the EPS is what actually absorbs the force of an impact.A proper fitting ATV helmet can improve your ride by improving your hearing and visibility, and when your ride is great experience, you will experience a great ride!
