For parents and guardians taking young riders out on the open road, safety and fit are everything. Leather Bound offers a premier selection to buy DOT-approved kids motorcycle helmets online.

How to Choose & Fit a Youth Motorcycle Helmet

A motorcycle helmet can only protect your child if it fits properly. Buying a helmet that is "too big so they can grow into it" is a critical safety hazard because a loose helmet can slip off or fail to absorb impact during a crash:

• Certified DOT Security: All youth helmets sold at Leather Bound meet or exceed federal FMVSS 218 DOT safety standards (with select LS2 models carrying dual DOT and ECE 22.05 certification) for certified street-legal protection.
• Lightweight Shell Construction: Built using high-pressure thermoplastic (HTTP) and ultra-light ABS materials weighing as little as 1.2 kg (~2.6 lbs) to eliminate strain on young neck muscles.
• Kid-Friendly Fastening & Liners: Equipped with quick-release chin straps that kids can easily snap on and off even with gloves, paired with removable, washable hypoallergenic liners to keep gear fresh ride after ride.
• Measuring for the Right Size: Wrap a soft fabric tape measure horizontally around your child's head about one inch above their eyebrows. Check the measurement against our brand sizing charts for a snug, firm fit that does not rock or slide.
