Best Open Face Helmets: Protect Your Dome With These Top Picks

Bell takes innovation a step further with this Bluetooth integrated helmet. It comes with a special compartment on the side for the Sena SMH10. This keeps the helmet streamlined and eliminates the Bluetooth communicator from being stuck on the side of the helmet. The outer shell is made of a lightweight polycarbonate/ABS shell. There are vents throughout to ensure proper airflow. The pearl white design of the helmet is beautiful and clean-looking. 

What really stands out about this helmet is the integrated intercom system. There are internal compartments for the speakers, and installing your Sena is easy. The helmet also has three EPS sizes, which gives you a customized fit. 

Unfortunately, the helmet still feels bulky or clunky on your head. While the communicator integration is nice, you’re limited to the Sena SMH10. You cannot use another communicator device. 

This helmet meets DOT safety standards and comes in a variety of sizes to ensure proper fit. Its moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool and comfortable. It also has a quick-release lock that you can trigger with one finger, so it's easy to remove. It comes with a removable, snap-on gloss black bubble visor.

The helmet is well constructed, low profile, and feels safe and stylish. It stays snugly in place without any lift at highway speeds. The shape of the helmet is slim and doesn't make you look like a bobblehead or mushroom head. The quick-release chin snap is also very convenient, and overall it is light and comfortable. In general, the helmet provides an accurate fit as long as you follow the manufacturer's sizing chart.

One of the helmet's biggest drawbacks is there’s not much soft foam at the top corners of the head compared to some competitor brands, which may make it less safe in a crash. Also, the snap on the back that holds goggles may easily break. Finally, some riders don't like the quick-release snap and would prefer a D-ring style system instead.

This helmet gives riders a lot of options to find the perfect helmet. It comes in sizes XS through XXL and six colors. Choose from gloss black, gunmetal, matte black, pearl white, pink, and red. The helmet is DOT-approved. 

Once you put this helmet on, you’ll appreciate how lightweight it feels. This is because it’s made from high-pressure thermoplastic. It also has the nice feature of a dual visor system. There’s a large clear face shield and a smaller, darkly tinted sun shield. You can independently move them up and down. 

One problem with this helmet is that the clear visor won’t stay down when you reach higher speeds. This is counter-productive since having the shield down to protect your face becomes more important the faster you ride. You may also feel like the helmet “feels big” by sticking out too far from the sides and top of your head. The size chart runs small, so size up when ordering.

We like the TORC T50 Route 66 Open Face Helmet because it comes in a wide range of designs, from Gloss White Rebel Star and Gloss Black Baller to Gloss Black 1978 and Gloss Orange Craneo. It's also available in sizes X-small to XX-large, so you're sure to find one that fits properly.

Features of this DOT-approved helmet include removable and washable cheek pads, a removable visor, and an ultra-suede inner padding. You can remove some of the padding during the summer so the helmet feels cooler on hot days. It has a snap on the back for goggles and the shell is constructed of advanced thermo polymer alloy to protect your head during an impact. Overall, it looks cool, provides good protection, and fits well as long as you consult the size chart. Plus, it’s comfortable and lightweight.

However, it can be a bit hard to put on because the cheek area is a little narrow for some users. As a result, it may not be the best option for those with wider faces. It may also not look exactly as it is depicted in photos online.

The Daytona Helmets Motorcycle Open Face 3/4 Helmet is a great choice because you don't look like you have a mushroom head when you're wearing it. It's lightweight and comfortable and includes a snap-on bubble visor. This DOT-approved helmet is designed for small and large heads and comes in a variety of sizes from X-small to XX-large.

Users like that it does not stick up too high or create the dreaded bobblehead look. The chin strap is also positioned so you can adjust it so it doesn't pinch your skin or irritate users with beards. Plus it has a quick-release mechanism, which is easy to use, particularly if you have arthritis. There's very little wind noise, it looks great due to its low-profile design, and it's solidly made overall.

One downside is that it can feel a little snug out of the box even if you follow the size chart. Also, the colors may be a little different than they appear online in photos.
