If you're looking for a motocross helmet, there are a number of types to choose from. To help you make a better decision, here are some pointers for choosing the best helmet for your individual needs :
Motocross and dirt bike helmets are constructed extra strong and usually have a good chin protection incorporated into their design.
The type of helmet construction gives extra strength because of the chin protection area. Most have full face protection and keeps your face safe from flying rocks and debris that naturally get kicked up during a ride, not only by yourself but by other riders. There is also an area to strap on your goggles on most motocross and dirt bike helmets, don't skip goggles even with a full face visor, your eyes will thank you for it.
Hybrid and dual sport helmets are great for off-road trail riding. Most of them have features borrowed from both street and dirt helmets such as detachable sun visors, flip-down face shields and air-flow venting in the helmets to keep your cool. A few of the dual sport helmets allow you to flip up the chin protector part when you're doing slower rides. If you wear eyeglasses, these helmets are a great choices as the face shield can help protect your eyes when you ride your motorcycle or ATV.
Open face helmets were wildly popular among riders at one point. Their time has passed as people who wore them learned quickly, rocks and flying debris will not only hurt when they impact on your sensitive facial skin,teeth and eyes can be severely damaged. Open face helmets are not recommended for riding any type of OHV.
