Buying a motorcycle helmet seems simple: choose a model, pick a colour and select a size. In practice, problems often arise because of an incorrect fit, unclear safety information or features that are less practical than the product page suggests. The same applies to related products, such as a children's bicycle helmet, full-face children's helmet or motorcycle accessory.
Use these checks to compare a motorcycle helmet based on verifiable product specifications, ease of use and suitability for your journeys.
A size L is not the same at every brand. Always check your head circumference in centimetres. For the MY-936 model, for example, the size range runs from XS 54–55 cm to XXL 61–62 cm. Measure horizontally around your head with a flexible tape measure, approximately above your eyebrows and ears.
A helmet should fit firmly without creating pressure points. If you can easily move it from side to side, the fit is probably not suitable. Also bear in mind that a new liner may mould itself slightly to the shape of your head during use.
According to MY's product information, the MY 936 is an ECE R22.06 motorcycle helmet. This is the standard mentioned in the product listing. When you receive the helmet, check that the required marking and documentation are actually present. A product description alone does not replace this check.
Also pay attention to the difference between a full-face helmet, modular helmet and jet helmet:
A removable liner, ventilation openings and an integrated sun visor are useful features, but they do not automatically make a helmet suitable for every rider. Check the weight, shell shape, type of fastening and care instructions.
Also consider accessories that are often bought with a helmet. A waterproof motorcycle cover protects against rain, dust and dirt while your bike is stored, while a digital torque wrench can help with maintenance requiring a specified tightening torque. These products do not replace your motorcycle's manual or maintenance schedule.
First measure your head circumference and compare it with the size chart for the specific product. Do not look only at S, M or L. Also check whether the helmet has an oval or other shell shape when this information is available.
This is especially important for children's helmets. According to the product information, the RoyalBaby Everest can be adjusted from 52.05 to 55.88 cm and is intended for children aged approximately 5 to 13. Age is only an indication; the measured head circumference and a stable fit are the deciding factors.
The products mentioned use different materials. According to the product information, the MY 936 has an ABS outer shell and an EPS inner layer. The RoyalBaby helmets are listed with a PC outer shell and a soft, removable fabric liner.
Pay particular attention to:
Replace a helmet after a hard impact, even if there is little visible damage on the outside. Do not buy a used helmet if its history is unknown either.
For commuting and longer journeys, a closed helmet with a sun visor can be practical. Circuit or sports use may involve different requirements set by the organiser or discipline. A children's bicycle helmet is designed for cycling, scooting and similar activities and should not be regarded as a replacement for an approved motorcycle helmet.
A full-face children's helmet with a removable chin guard may be suitable for BMX, dirt biking or more intensive outdoor sports. Always check the recommended activity and fit before placing your order.
Why it suits this profile: This system helmet combines a flip-up chin guard with an integrated sun visor. The product information lists sizes from XS to XXL, allowing you to choose based on your head circumference.
The size chart prevents you from relying solely on the size letter. ECE R22.06 is mentioned in the product listing; check the marking when you receive the helmet.
ABS shell, EPS liner, removable washable liner and integrated inner visor.
Why it suits this profile: This version is aimed at riders who value easy maintenance and extra functionality without separate accessories.
The product information provides specific sizes, shell material and care information rather than just general comfort claims.
ECE certification mentioned in the product details, removable liner and integrated sun visor.
Why it suits this profile: According to the product information, this 2-in-1 children's helmet is suitable for BMX, dirt biking, mountain biking and scooting, among other activities. The chin guard can be removed for gentler use.
The adjustable head circumference of 20–23 inches and removable chin guard make the choice of use more specific than a fixed age claim.
PC outer shell, multiple ventilation openings, washable liner and built-in light on the adjustment dial.
We've put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A helmet is part of a wider set of equipment. A waterproof motorcycle cover is useful when your motorcycle is kept outside. Check the dimensions carefully: according to the product information, an Oxerbog cover is available in 220 × 95 × 110 cm, among other sizes, and features buckles, elastic straps and reflective strips.
A digital torque wrench may be useful for car or motorcycle maintenance. According to the product details, the MoveCrab model mentioned has a range of 4.2–85 Nm, four measurement units and several presets. Always use the tightening torques specified in your vehicle's manual.
The helmet should fit firmly all the way around without sharp pressure points. It should not shift on its own when you shake your head. Measure your head circumference and use the size chart for the specific model.
This depends on usage, storage, materials and any impacts. Replace a helmet after a hard knock or if there is visible damage. Check the liner, fastening, shell and visors regularly. Store the helmet in a dry place and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
It can be, especially in changing light conditions. Check that the inner visor raises fully, does not remain in your line of sight and is easy to operate while wearing gloves. A sun visor does not replace checking the helmet's other functions or the required safety marking.
