As the name suggests, you can open the front of this helmet at any time. Bikers appreciate this convenience especially on long tours. It allows you to eat and drink during breaks without having to take off your helmet every time.
This design is also particularly practical for people who wear glasses, as they do not have to be removed every time you take off your helmet. In the event of an accident, you can also be better cared for thanks to the folding part.
In terms of safety, the flip-up helmet is hardly inferior to the full-face helmet. Only the weight of older models is somewhat higher.
The movable visor can be replaced on almost all flip-up helmets.
Many models also score points with extensive features that satisfy even the most demanding riders. Probably for these reasons, it is one of the most popular helmets on the market.
