In most of the states in the US, you are required to wear an ATVC helmet. But despite this norm, there are a lot of people who do not know how to differentiate between a good and a bad ATV helmet. (“Blog | Mt. Baker Moto-Sports, Bellingham WA – mtbakermoto.com”) Most of the people believe that price and brand are the only two factors that are an indicator of hoe safe the helmet is. “While these two factors may be important but these two are not the only indicators that determine the safety of a helmet.” (“Blog | Mt.

There are several types of helmets available for diffren6t uses. The helmets for motorbikes are technically same as that of other helmets, but still it is preferred that you buy a helmet that is meant specifically for ATV users or off-road riding. (“Blog | Mt.

ATV helmets have certain features that are different from the regular helmets. An ATV helmet covers most part of the face and it also has a material under the chin to provide safety. Along with that ATV helmets provide the maximum ventilation. (“Blog | Mt. Baker Moto-Sports, Bellingham WA – mtbakermoto.com”)
The amount of padding on the helmet determines how comfortable it will be to wear it. Some people have a wrong notion that the amount of padding on the helmet determines the safety of the helmet. But this sadly is not true. The padding does not help in any resistance during a crash, but a well-padded helmet means that it does not itch or scratch against your ear and chin area. (“Blog | Mt.

Whenever you are buying an ATV helmet, it is important that you check on the certification. Never buy a helmet that does not have a DOT Snell certification.

When you buy a pair of jeans what would you do? Well do not you try it on to check if it fits you well. You do check if you are comfortable in that pair of jeans. “Same is the case when you are buying an ATV helmet.” (“Blog | Mt. Baker Moto-Sports, Bellingham WA – mtbakermoto.com”) Make sure that it fits you well.
Also most importantly check that you are comfortable wearing that. Never buy an uncomfortable helmet as you will never wear it again when you are riding. (“Blog | Mt. Baker Moto-Sports, Bellingham WA – mtbakermoto.com”) Also move around your head on wearing the helmet and check if it still stays in position. “Once you are satisfied of all these things then you can go ahead and buy the helmet.” (“Blog | Mt.
