Motorcycle Helmets - Caberg

Motorcycle helmets were made compulsory for motorcycle riders in the UK in 1973.

All helmets sold in the UK must be certified to meet certain safety standards. Either:

• BS 6658:1985 - helmet must carry the BSI kitemark
• UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) Regulation 22.05
• Any standard recognised by a member of the European Economic Area which offers protection equivalent to BS 6658:1985 - helmet must carry a mark equivalent to the BSI Kitemark

All helmets sold on this site conform to the above and are legal for use on UK and European roads.

Tinted Visors

Any visor with a light transmission rate of less than 50% cannot be BSI or EC05 approved and is illegal for UK road use.

Typically dark tint and iridium visors have between 40% to 20% light transmission rates. A standard, road-legal tinted visor has a 50% transmission rate - these are legal for daytime use only.

We ONLY sell approved, road-legal visors.

HELMET SIZE GUIDE

With a tape-measure or piece of string, measure around your head, just above your eyebrows and ears. See the chart below for typical helmet sizes

Don't be tempted to order a larger size than you need - your new helmet should fit snugly and most helmet linings compress after a while, moulding themselves closer to the shape of your head.

The table below is intended as a guide only - there are slight size and shape differences between helmet brands and models.

Remember - if your new helmet is not a good fit, you can return it (unworn, in new-condition) under our 30-day returns policy.
