How many ATV helmets do you own?

I am quite sure I am not the only ATV enthusiast who owns more than one ATV helmet. After all, I have quite a couple of friends who make it their life mission to collect ATV helmets of different shapes, sizes, colors, designs and brands. They even take pictures of the new ATV helmets that they buy and put it into some scrapbook thing. Although I don’t have as many ATV helmets as they do and I certainly think that I DO have other things to buy apart from helmets, I like shopping online for ATV helmets too; sometimes against the advice of well-meaning friends and family members.

Then one friend asked me if there was a difference between one ATV helmet and another since I seem to be collecting so many over the years. Good question. Yes, there is…and it depends. Assuming I am like other normal ATV riders who rides just for fun, do we have to own more than just one ATV helmet? It depends on how regularly you ride, that’s the answer. If you ride your ATV regularly and most weekends, then I seriously suggest that you get more than just one ATV helmet. If you’re obsessed with a particular design and refuse to wear a helmet with a different design, then go ahead and get the same design! But the point is that if you’re a regular ATV rider, you’re probably going to need at least 2 ATV helmets.

There are many reasons why people own more than one and one of the biggest (and silliest) reasons is STYLE. Yeah, you heard me right. Big name brands have conducted many surveys throughout the years and they have concluded that ATV riders, just like women, get fascinated with new ATV helmet designs! And the second biggest reasons have to do with technology and how much more comfort the new technology will bring ATV enthusiasts like you and me. Don’t you agree? I mean, haven’t you taken a look at new designs, read the specs of the ATV helmet and think to yourself “Hey, more ear space sounds like a brilliant idea!” Haven’t you?

Another reason why people own more than one ATV helmet is for backup. When one ATV helmet gets all soaked with sweat, grime and oil, you’d want another to act as backup. Just trust me on this one. A dirty ATV helmet can smell like a clogged drain!

And some of us have this habit of forgetting to bring our helmets when we’re out on rides, so, if your friends bring backups and extras, you can actually take it off of them instead of having to buy a new one. Of course, another good (and valid) reason to own more than one ATV helmet is to have one handy when one ages out on you. ATV helmets die of old age too, you know. Don’t think for one second that your ATV helmet can last forever.

Sometimes, we want a little bit of variety. I am not comparing ATV enthusiasts to women but we’re pretty much alike…just that the object of fascination and obsession isn’t the same. When your mood is black, you might want to go for that fiery one that reflects your mood. When you are in a cheery mood, you might go for the sunny yellow combo with silver thunder bolts ATV helmet.

I hope I’ve given you enough reasons to get more than one ATV helmet for your exciting hobby. Happy riding and ride safe!
