Open Face Helmets

Open-face motorcycle helmets, often called jet helmets, cover the head without a fixed chin bar. Their open design gives a wide field of view and an airy feel, making them popular for scooters, city journeys and relaxed road riding.

What to look for in an open-face helmet

• Coverage: compare the shell profile around the sides and back of the head as designs vary.
• Visor arrangement: models may use a long clear visor, a short visor, an internal sun visor or press studs for compatible accessories.
• Fit: a secure, even fit helps prevent the helmet lifting or rotating as speed increases.
• Ventilation and lining: check airflow, removable padding and washable interior components.
• Eye protection: if a visor is not supplied, choose compatible goggles or eyewear for your riding conditions.

Is an open-face helmet right for you?

An open-face helmet prioritises visibility and airflow but does not provide fixed chin-bar coverage. Riders wanting a fixed chin section can browse full-face helmets. For removable or movable sections, compare convertible helmets and flip-front helmets.
