Which Full Face Helmet Should You Choose?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The development of mountain biking contributes to the growing interest in Full Face helmets. Increased awareness, education and training increase our knowledge about injuries that may occur on the route. Our head – the command center – deserves maximum protection, which is why more and more riders choose Full Face helmets, which also effectively protect the lower jaw, ensuring comfort and a sense of security during descents.\u00a0
\u00a0
It is worth remembering that even the most expensive Full Face helmet is a cheaper investment than visiting a dentist or prosthodontist after an accident. Helmets of this type are chosen not only for aggressive disciplines such as downhill or freeride, but also for lighter types of mountain biking. They are increasingly used by riders who want to increase their safety on routes of varying difficulty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below I will present the most important types of Full Face helmets and their key features to help you choose a model that will provide optimal protection and comfort. For the purposes of this article, let’s assume the weight standard that a helmet weighing less than 1000g is in the light category (SL), anything above it is a classic helmet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a clearer division into three groups of Full Face Helmets: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Classic Full Face DH \/ Freeride Helmet<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Classic Full Face for DH\/Freeride<\/strong>, enduro, downhill, slopestyle, freeride, racing and bike park riding is a natural choice for riders who prefer extreme disciplines. These models, derived from helmets used in motor sports, provide the maximum level of safety. When additionally equipped with a MIPS <\/strong>system, they effectively reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a fall – although, of course, attention and caution are still important.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this type of helmets, the priority is to protect the head, so features such as ventilation or low weight are less important (although for some people equally important). Classic Full Faces are best for descents, where instead of climbing, you use a ski lift, shuttle bus or on foot (push), and not for longer climbs, which may be uncomfortable, to put it mildly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even lower models of such helmets meet high safety standards, but their proper fit is very important. Classic Full Faces do not have size adjustments, so they must be perfectly matched so that they do not slip or move while riding. Only a well-fitting helmet will guarantee that it will fulfill its protective role in the event of a fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
