Views
It should be said that helmets for ATVs are classified by type and device. Their price is completely different. A certain design is not described anywhere, for example, what it should be like, color, shape. The main thing is that the helmet for the ATV serves as a protection for the driver's head. They are divided into three types: open, completely covering the head, covering it on ¾. The helmet for a closed-type ATV has increased sound insulation, while it is quite heavy, the viewing angle in it is very limited.
Covering the head on ¾ has a large viewing radius, a visor is included in the package, which provides a high degree of protection for the ATV.
Helmets of open type have a good viewing angle and excellent audibility, but are considered not reliable enough to protect the head. Therefore, they are mainly used by drivers of low-power vehicles.
Device
When choosing, it is worth paying attention to the quality of the product and its device. Indeed, in critical situations, the safety of the driver and the safety of his life on the road depend on the helmet. Both adults and children's helmets for an ATV incorporate an inner and outer layer. The direct purpose of the layer that is fixed inside is to protect the head from injuries and concussions.
The outer layer takes on impact loads. The outer layer is made of fiberglass, strong plastic, Kevlar. Using modern materials in the manufacture, the manufacturer makes the product lightweight, but at the same time quite durable and reliable.
