Most manufacturers recommend replacing a motorcycle helmet every five to seven years even without a crash, since the internal materials that absorb impact degrade slowly with heat, sweat and UV exposure. The shell can look fine while the protective layer underneath has already lost some of its effectiveness.

To see the certification behind our own range, visit Heroine Racer.

ECE 22.06 is the current European standard that motorcycle helmets are tested against, and it replaced the older ECE 22.05 standard with a wider and more demanding set of tests. Helmets are checked for impact absorption at multiple points on the shell, not just the crown, and the standard also tests rotational forces, which earlier standards largely ignored.

Getting helmet sizing right starts with a proper head measurement, taken with a soft tape around the largest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears. That figure points to a starting size, but it is only a starting point, since head shape varies as much as head size.

Looking After Your Visor: Cleaning and Replacement

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 03:21:55 +0000

A clean visor is a safety item as much as a comfort one, since scratches and haze scatter light and make it harder to judge distance in low sun or at night. Clean a visor with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, and avoid dry wiping, which is what causes most fine scratches in the first place.

Full face and open face helmets suit different kinds of riding, and the right choice usually comes down to where and how you ride rather than looks alone. A full face helmet covers the chin and jaw, giving more protection in a wider range of impacts, and tends to suit faster roads and longer distances.

This kind of workshop sits closer to a design studio than a factory. Colourways, trims and finishes are developed the way a small run of any crafted object would be, with samples, adjustments and a final sign off before anything reaches a rider.

Trying a helmet on in person, and wearing it for a few minutes rather than a few seconds, catches problems a size chart alone cannot. Padding also settles slightly with use, so a helmet that feels snug when new is usually the right call.

A helmet workshop in London works on a smaller scale than a mass production line, and that shapes almost everything about how a helmet gets made. Materials are chosen and checked by hand, shells are shaped and finished in small batches, and problems are caught by people who see every stage, not just a sensor on a line.

Most manufacturers recommend replacing a motorcycle helmet every five to seven years even without a crash, since the internal materials that absorb impact degrade slowly with heat, sweat and UV exposure. The shell can look fine while the protective layer underneath has already lost some of its effectiveness.

A made to order helmet starts long before any material is cut. Measurements are taken, the intended use of the helmet is discussed, and a rider works with the maker to settle on a shell, lining and finish that suit them specifically, rather than picking from fixed stock sizes.

Most manufacturers recommend replacing a luxury motorcycle helmets helmet every five to seven years even without a crash, since the internal materials that absorb impact degrade slowly with heat, sweat and UV exposure. The shell can look fine while the protective layer underneath has already lost some of its effectiveness.

A helmet that is the right size should feel snug all the way round with no single pressure point, and it should not shift when you turn your head firmly from side to side. A helmet that moves independently of your head on a shake test is not the right fit, regardless of what the size label says.

What Goes Into a Handcrafted Helmet Shell

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 01:13:08 +0000

Sun and heat are the two things to watch for. Leaving a helmet on a dashboard or in direct sun for long periods will dull and eventually crack leather trim, so a helmet bag or a shaded spot makes a real difference over the life of the helmet.

The result takes longer to arrive than an off the shelf helmet, and that is by design. A made to order piece is fitted, finished and checked individually before it ships.

To find out more about the made to order process, visit Hedon Helmets.

A handcrafted helmet shell starts with a base material, commonly fibreglass or a composite blend, layered and shaped by hand rather than produced purely by mould and machine. Each layer adds strength, and the shaping stage is where a lot of the time in production actually goes.

None of this needs to be bought at once. Building a complete kit over time, prioritising the areas most exposed in a typical fall, is a realistic way to get there.

Anti fog inserts and coatings help in cold or wet conditions, but they are not a substitute for a visor in good condition. Once scratches build up to the point where they catch the light on every ride, it is time to replace rather than keep cleaning around the problem.

Any impact, including a helmet dropped from a moderate height, can compress the inner liner in ways that are not visible from outside. A helmet is designed to absorb one significant impact by sacrificing that inner material, so a helmet involved in a crash should always be replaced, not inspected and reused.

How to Care for a Leather Trimmed Motorcycle Helmet

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:12:43 +0000

An open face helmet leaves the face exposed, which some riders prefer for shorter journeys, city riding, or a more classic look on a café racer or scrambler. It offers less coverage than a full face design, and riders who choose one should weigh that trade off honestly rather than assume it based on style.

From there, the build follows the same certified construction as the standard range. Made to order does not mean a shortcut around testing, it means the standard process is carried out around one person's measurements and preferences instead of a general size run.

Boots that cover the ankle protect a joint that takes real force in an off, and trousers or riding jeans extend that same protection down the leg.

A leather trimmed helmet needs a little more attention than a plain shell, but the upkeep is straightforward. Dust and light dirt can be wiped away with a soft, dry cloth, and any marks are best treated with a product made for leather rather than general household cleaners, which can dry the material out over time.

This is slower than fully automated manufacturing, and that is the point. A handcrafted shell trades speed for a level of finish and individual attention that a purely machine made helmet does not offer.

Once the shell is formed and cured, it moves through finishing: sanding, painting or leather trimming, and fitting the internal padding and retention system. Every stage is checked before the next begins, since a fault caught early is far cheaper to fix than one found at the end.

Visors are a wear item, not a lifetime part of the helmet, and most riders find a spare on hand is worth having, especially before a long trip.

The trade off is scale. A workshop like this will never produce helmets as fast as a large factory, and that is treated as acceptable, since the aim is a considered, well finished helmet rather than the fastest one to market.

Most manufacturers recommend replacing a motorcycle helmet every five to seven years even without a crash, since the internal materials that absorb impact degrade slowly with heat, sweat and UV exposure.

What Makes Hedon Helmet Care: for International Riders

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 09:43:28 +0000

How should I store a motorcycle helmet? Store a helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid leaving it on a dashboard or in a hot car, since heat degrades the inner liner over time.

Household solvents and strong detergents can damage paint and trim and they have no place near a removable liner. Storage matters as much as cleaning because a helmet left in direct sunlight or on a hot dashboard degrades faster. Most manufacturers suggest replacing a helmet every five to seven years even if it has not been in a crash.

Helmet shells are usually made from fibreglass, carbon fibre or polycarbonate and each material balances weight, strength and cost differently. Carbon fibre is the lightest and stiffest of the three which makes it attractive for high-end helmets. Fibreglass sits in the middle heavier than carbon fibre but lighter than polycarbonate, and suited to a crafted approach.

Carbon fibre is the lightest and stiffest of the three which makes it attractive for high-end helmets. Once compressed, the liner does not recover which is why a helmet that has taken a hit needs replacing even if the shell looks intact. The liner inside the shell is just as important as the shell itself because expanded polystyrene foam absorbs impact energy by compressing.

Key points on helmet reviews Weight matters more on long rides than short ones since a helmet that feels fine for ten minutes can become tiring after two hours. A review should mention certification and construction because a helmet can look good but still fall short on safety standards. Noise and ventilation affect comfort too with a quiet helmet reducing fatigue on fast roads and good airflow keeping the rider cool. The best reviews treat appearance, comfort and certification as separate scores rather than blending them into one vague rating.

What does ECE 22.06 actually test? ECE 22.06 tests impact absorption across more of the helmet shell than the older standard, and it includes rotational force testing. A certified helmet carries a label inside the shell with the standard number and a homologation code.

What is a made to order helmet? A made to order helmet is built around one rider's measurements and chosen finishes, rather than picked from stock. It still has to meet the same certification standards as an off-the-shelf helmet.

Once compressed, the liner does not recover which is why a helmet that has taken a hit needs replacing even if the shell looks intact. The liner inside the shell is just as important as the shell itself because expanded polystyrene foam absorbs impact energy by compressing. Fibreglass sits in the middle heavier than carbon fibre but lighter than polycarbonate, and suited to a crafted approach. Polycarbonate is the most affordable option common in entry-level helmets, tough and easy to mould but usually heavier.

Whatever the format, the helmet must fit and certify because a badly fitting open face helmet is less useful than a well-fitting full face. Open face and full face helmets answer different riding needs and the best choice depends on more than appearance. An open face helmet leaves the face exposed and is often chosen for shorter trips, city riding or a classic look.

Can I use a helmet after dropping it? A significant drop can compress the inner liner even if the shell looks fine. If the helmet has taken a hard knock, replace it. Minor bumps from normal handling are less likely to cause damage.

Riders who take cafe racers onto faster roads often switch to a full face for that part of the journey. Open face helmets are popular in this scene because they fit the stripped-back style of the bikes. The best cafe racer helmets meet the same certification standards as sport or touring helmets but the difference is in the aesthetic.

Can I use a helmet after dropping it? A significant drop can compress the inner liner even if the shell looks fine. If the helmet has taken a hard knock, replace it. Minor bumps from normal handling are less likely to cause damage.

When a helmet is the right size it feels snug all the way round without any painful pressure point. A helmet that rotates easily on the head is too loose no matter what the size label says. Vision and strap position matter too because the visor should give a clear field of view and the chin strap should sit comfortably. The first step is to measure around the widest part of the head just click the up coming web site above the eyebrows and ears.

A jacket built for riding, rather than a fashion jacket that merely looks the part, adds abrasion resistance across the shoulders and elbows, and many include pockets for armour inserts. Boots that cover the ankle protect a joint that takes real force in an off, and trousers or riding jeans extend that same protection down the leg.

The result takes longer to arrive than an off the shelf helmet, and that is by design. A made to order piece is fitted, finished and checked individually before it ships.

The liner deserves the same care. A removable, washable liner keeps the inside fresh, and following the maker's washing instructions protects both the padding and the stitching around it.

This kind of workshop sits closer to a design studio than a factory. Colourways, trims and finishes are developed the way a small run of any crafted object would be, with samples, adjustments and a final sign off before anything reaches a rider.

An open face helmet leaves the face exposed, which some riders prefer for shorter journeys, city riding, or a more classic look on a café racer or scrambler. It offers less coverage than a full face design, and riders who choose one should weigh that trade off honestly rather than assume it based on style.

Any impact, including a helmet dropped from a moderate height, can compress the inner liner in ways that are not visible from outside. A helmet is designed to absorb one significant impact by sacrificing that inner material, so a helmet involved in a crash should always be replaced, not inspected and reused.

A clean visor is a safety item as much as a comfort one, since scratches and haze scatter light and make it harder to judge distance in low sun or at night. Clean a visor with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, and avoid dry wiping, which is what do you think causes most fine scratches in the first place.

Daily wear also plays a part. Sweat, sunscreen and regular use all shorten a helmet's working life, so riders who use a helmet every day should expect to replace it sooner than someone who rides occasionally.

Sun and heat are the two things to watch for. Leaving a helmet on a dashboard or in direct sun for long periods will dull and eventually crack leather trim, so a helmet bag or a shaded spot makes a real difference over the life of simply click the next website page helmet.
