Choosing a Cruiser Helmet

Video Transcript

"If you're interested in purchasing a cruiser or that's kind of your thing, we have several different styles of helmets to choose from and I just kind of wanted to go over each of them really quickly for you. This one is a half helmet, as you can see there's only half of it. It is not Snell approved, and it only covers the top part of your head. This is a three quarter helmet, it only goes down partially and the visor is different and you have more open area in your face. This is what's called a modular helmet or a flip face helmet, and as you can see the whole front of the helmet comes off. This is your standard full face helmet, it is Snell approved, it is a composite blend, it has a wonderful ventilation system, it is very light in weight, as you can see it covers the whole head. These three are not Snell approved, which means crash test rated, and this one is Snell approved, so that is always something to consider when purchasing a helmet. These all do not cover the whole circumference of your face, so always consider that you cannot pick where you're going to hit your head when you fall. But, better, some kind of protection than none. Mostly with cruiser helmets, it's a cosmetic thing and a personal preference thing, but please always consider your safety first when purchasing a helmet."
