Motorcycle Helmets

Motorcycle enthusiasts will be heading out onto the open road this spring. That means it’s time to take stock in all the much needed accessories before rolling out onto the big slab this weekend. Of course, the priority is safety first; therefore having the proper equipment and safety accessories is the first line of defense.

Selecting the Proper Headgear for the Road

Picking a comfortable “brain bucket” is of course the first order of business. If your helmet hasn’t been worn in a while or it looks like it’s been around since World War I, it might be time to upgrade. A comfortable helmet is a pleasure to wear. We carry all brand helmets at Away U Go Powersports

One of the favorites among casual bikers is the Zox Alto Half Shell Open Face Motorcycle Helmet. They are made with solid fiberglass shell construction. These helmets are not only light (two pounds) and comfortable, they are not very bulky. The thin EPS liner system keeps the profile low without sacrificing safety.

The front vents are adjustable and they come with a three snap Shorty visor. These helmets come in two shell sizes and five head sizes. The Zox Alto Half Shell Open Face Motorcycle Helmet meets or exceeds DOT standards. When looking for a new “skid lid”, consider the Zox Alto half Shell.

Don’t forget face and neck protection. Motorcyclists can choose from a variety of headgear; there are styles and shapes for all road and weather conditions. For example, ZANheadgear makes a variety of neoprene face masks. These are made with stretch nylon piping with neoprene; which makes them wind and water resistant.

It’s time to change out those bandannas that have faded with time and overuse. Bandannas from Balboa are 100% cotton and offer unbelievable variety. ZANheadgear makes the Flydanna; a collection of bandannas with a sewn-in sweatband made with 100% cotton twill fabric.

They also make the Motley Tube; for effective neck and face protection. You can wear them in a variety of configurations; on your head, as well as around your neck and face. ZANheadgear produces a range of styles made from 100 percent polyester for all weather comfort.

Finally, let’s focus on the eyes for a moment. Effective eye protection is not just about dust, bugs and road debris. Motorcyclists need to consider the effects of the sun; to filter out ultraviolet rays which can lead to a variety of eye problems including vision loss.

Whether you’re into touring or sports bikes, there is appropriate eye protection available. For the sports cyclist, a pair of Ariete Palladium Goggles can offer maximum protection. They are treated with an anti-UV lacquer as well as made with Lexan anti-fog and anti-scratch treatment.

Bobster Eyewear makes the Touring 2 goggles. They offer maximum protection and comfort. The anti-fog smoke tint lenses are both durable and flexible. They are made of durable, non-allergenic polymer elastomer material. Avoid bugs and dust particles as well as sweat from compromising your vision clarity. These days you don’t have to sacrifice style for functionality.
