Headgear
Your helmet is your most important piece of equipment. Approved helmets should be worn at all times. Helmets can protect you from serious injury during a crash. There is always a risk of head injuries, but wearing a helmet can greatly increase your chances of survival.
Full-face helmets are the warmest. They completely cover the face and provide a chin guard. These helmets also have full visors to protect your face and eyes from the cold. Open face helmets provide the same protection from head injuries as full-face helmets, but there is no chin guard to protect the face. Remember to always have the helmet’s straps fastened as you ride.
