ATV HelmetsI know riding around showing of your new shades make you look really, really cool - stop it!  Wear a helmet!

Okay, I'm off my soapbox now, and we can get down to business.

When choosing a helmet there are a number of things to consider; in this guide we will cover the basics to get you going.

First, look for a helmet that is designed for being "off-road" (sometimes labeled as "motocross") - a standard motorcycle helmet will provide safety, but it won't provide some of the great features of a helmet made specifically for an ATV.

Second, make sure the helmet is comfortable - I know the first thing you think of with helmets is safety; but comfort is right up there.  Check these things when comparing comfort levels: make sure there is enough padding, check for a good seal around the ear (not touching the ear), ensure there is a neck roll that cradles the back of the neck, and ensure there are no straps or fasteners protruding inside the helmet.

Next, and this is a big one, ensure that the helmet is DOT or Snell certified.  Simple, if the helmet isn't certified - don't bother.

Also, if you are caught in the store and you have two helmets, and you just can't pick...  Go with the one that has the most EPS.  EPS is the hard form-type liner inside the helmet that actually absorbs the crash impact.  Manufacturers can just put in the minimum, but some go above and beyond, so keep that in mind.

Finally, if you have a face shield (and why wouldn't you?) make sure it meets the VESC-8 or ANSI Z-87 standards, plus make sure the face shield doesn't distort your view or flop around after you have opened it.

On final note: the materials that helmets are made out of deteriorate, so if you have an old helmet (or one that has been in an accident because they are single use items) - get a new one.
