Half Motorcycle Helmets FAQ

What is a DOT‑certified half motorcycle helmet?
A DOT‑certified half helmet is a motorcycle helmet that covers the top portion of the head and meets the U.S. Department of Transportation’s safety standard for impact protection. It is lightweight and provides essential protection while offering an open‑air feel for riders.

Are these helmets safe?
Yes — all helmets in this category are DOT certified. This means they have been tested to meet safety standards for impact protection on the top and sides of the head. However, because they don’t cover the face or chin, they offer less overall protection than full‑face helmets.

Do these helmets come in men’s and women’s designs?
Yes! We offer half helmets in a variety of styles, graphics, and color options designed to appeal to both men and women riders — from classic blacks to bold graphic patterns.
