Motorcycle accidents are inevitable no matter how careful you are.
Road accidents do not really tell you when and where they come your way.
So, it is always wise to be on the defensive mode every time you are out driving on the road, especially on a motorcycle.
If you are driving a Harley, then a Harley Davidson helmet would be perfect for you.
Here are some few general guidelines for you to find the best helmet fit: DOT Certification A motorist's helmet would be plain accessory if it cannot protect the user's head.
In order to guarantee that what you are getting is a protective head gear and not a decorative one, look for the sticker label on its back from the US Department of Transportation.
The sticker means its manufacturer has passed the protective standards set by the government and it is a seal of assurance that the helmet will perform in case bad things happen.
Retention and Fit A helmet is useless if it leaves you in case you get off your motorcycle without a warning.
Before you purchase a helmet, check if it would retain on your head by testing it.
Simply put on the helmet then push the back upwards.
If it slips off your head, you got the wrong size.

Comfort and Coverage Comfort is a big factor if you are having your bikes for long road trips so it is something you have to consider before purchasing one.
Most of the time, though, helmets with the least head protection are the most comfortable to wear and vice versa.
But remember that full-face helmets provide better coverage compared to three quarter shells.
So balance the comfort and coverage depending on your riding activity.
High end helmets usually offer the best of both so go for them, if you can.
