Full-Face Helmets
A full-face helmet offers the maximum protected area: closed shell, fixed chin guard, full visor. It's the standard for motorcyclists using their bike on the highway, for long-distance touring, or on the track. Here you'll find ECE 22.06 approved full-face helmets from Airoh, Kappa, SMK, HJC, and Bayard, with polycarbonate and composite shells, multi-channel ventilation, and intercom readiness.
Full-Face Helmets: Guide, Tips, and FAQs
Key Features
- ECE 22.06 or 22.05 Homologation – marking stated in the product sheet
- Shell Material – lightweight polycarbonate or HPC composite for sports use
- Intercom Ready – often present, with speaker recesses
- Actual Weight stated on label – declared without favorable rounding
Who it suits
- Urban Use — A jet or demi-jet is preferable; a full-face is uncomfortable for short trips
- Rural Roads — Ideal: quiet ride and total protection
- Highway — The only correct choice at high speeds
- Track — Mandatory, often requires FIM racing homologation
Important Notes
- A full-face helmet that is too loose will move at high speeds and won't protect as it should.
- The Pinlock visor is not always included: check the individual model's product sheet.
- Cheek pads and liner of many models are washable and in some cases replaceable as spare parts.

Who it's perfect for
For those who rack up miles, ride on the highway, or hit the track and don't want to compromise on protection. It's also the best choice for beginners: the fixed chin guard protects the face in case of a fall, and the full visor keeps out insects and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a polycarbonate or composite shell better?
Polycarbonate is lightweight, economical, and absorbs single impacts well. Composite (fiberglass + Kevlar or carbon) is stiffer, distributes multiple impacts better, and weighs less for the same size. For daily use, polycarbonate is sufficient; for track and intensive touring, composite pays off.
Does a full-face helmet bother prescription glasses?
It depends on the model. Many modern full-face helmets have channels in the cheek pads that allow you to insert the temples without crushing them. If you wear glasses, choose a helmet with this feature or consider switching to contact lenses for motorcycle use.
Should I get an intercom-ready helmet?
If you plan to use an intercom in the future, yes: intercom-ready full-face helmets have pre-made speaker recesses and cable channels. Adding an intercom to a non-ready helmet is possible but more cumbersome, and the final audio quality is often worse.
