The SNELL safety standard for motorcycle helmets is a professional level. Many professional helmets worn by professional riders meet this standard, with stricter requirements and higher safety levels.
Let’s talk about the motorcycle full face helmet shell. At present, the common helmet shell materials on the market are mainly divided into three types: thermoplastic, glass fiber reinforced plastic, and carbon fiber. Thermoplastic is not suitable for making motorcycle helmets. The impact resistance is very poor. The price is also relatively low. If you are in love with a helmet, but there is no way to know the material of the shell, then it is recommended to give up.
However, the material of polycarbonate is also a kind of thermoplastic. Its physical properties are better than ordinary thermoplastics, and the price is cheap. It is often combined with acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, which is The common so-called ABS engineering plastic material, the helmet shell of this material has good impact resistance, and is generally the preferred shell material for low-end helmets.
Motorcycle helmet FRP is a common name for glass fiber. Its physical properties are better and more stable than ABS engineering plastics, and it can withstand the test of time. It is the first material for medium and high-end helmets.
