    DS helmet options

    Some factors to consider regarding sun visors: Drop down inner sun visors found in some helmets offer no protection against the damaging effects of UV A, B or C sun rays. You may think your eyes are being protected (given the darker tint of the “sun” visor) however it is as good as staring...

    OK, so now I need a Helmet I guess.......Advise please

    Don't be mislead by claims of SABS tested/ approved.  It is misleading if local  sellers use this as it offers no intrinsic value.  SABS/NRCS approval is merely a rubber stamp homoligation exercise whereby the helmet is checked against its EEE 22.05 certification . No tests take place during...

    OK, so now I need a Helmet I guess.......Advise please

    You need to make a distinction between Kevlar and  Carbon AND  Kevlar. It’s worth noting that while Kevlar has very high tensile (pulling) strength it lacks compression strength (resistance to squashing or squeezing). For motorcycle helmets maximum protection requires both tensile and...

    Looking for a used or new ADV helmet. Advice on Spirit / o'Neal / Just1?

    All helmets sold in SA have to meet Ece22.05 standards , otherwise they are illegal here. Rather look at what a manufacturer adds to their offering beyond Ece 22.05. And don't be mislead by claims of SABS approved.  This is merely  a rubber stamp exercise.

    Looking for a used or new ADV helmet. Advice on Spirit / o'Neal / Just1?

    Another option https://bikegear.co.za/desert-fox-3-in-1-motorcycle-safety-helmet/ SA subrcribes to the Ece 22.05 regulation which exceeds Dot. DOT is merely a self certification and leaves a lot to be desired
