Modular or flip-up helmets
Modular or flip-up helmets: check the double P/J approval!
The
modular helmet (or flip-up helmet) is certainly a comfortable alternative
to the full-face helmet, but hides some specifications that make it a
more complex and careful purchase.
To begin with, modular helmets are in all respects gods
full-face helmets, but with the possibility of opening the chin guard,
thus allowing a notable circulation of air for the hottest days and
a wide view comparable to that of Jet helmets.
“Modular” helmets are also those that offer the possibility of
completely unhook the chin guard, making the helmet completely
open, while "opening" helmets are all those models that can
lift or overturn the chin guard, without however unhooking it from the rest of the
helmet.
In both cases it is a good idea to pay attention to the type of approval, found inside the helmet strap.
Understanding the acronyms is essential to knowing the type of helmet you are wearing:
if only the letter P is indicated, the helmet in question is named
as "protective", i.e. its approval allows it to circulate on
all roads, wearing the helmet exclusively with the chin guard
closed.
If, however, you find the acronym P/J the helmet has a double one
approval, therefore it is also allowed to circulate on all roads
with the chin guard raised, folded or released.
Precisely because of the physiognomy that distinguishes them, modular helmets o openable are extremely used and recommended in motorcycle touring as their versatility allows a product suitable for all seasons.
The technology and the study of manufacturing companies, to date, allows extremely light and silent products on the market even at high speeds.
We will therefore have the opportunity, by choosing just one helmet, to wear a comfortable full-face or a Jet at the same time and to use them potential depending on temperature, season or pleasure of use.
As reiterated above, always pay attention to the approval of the product to be able to use a modular helmet in its full potential potential on the road.
Motostorm.it offers a wide range of helmets modular and openable selected from the best products on the market.
