If you are going to buy a good motorcycle helmet at the reasonable price which you can afford. You should read this text clearly and know more about what a motorcycle is made of instead of paying too much attention on the graphics or the colors.
We will introduce four material- glass fiber, polycarbonate, carbon fiber, and kevlar in this article.
Glass Fiber
A glass fiber composite helmet, or fiberglass, means that the helmet is fused with glass fiber in its structure. A glass fiber means that it can lighten and strengthen the helmet at a fraction of a cost. Fiberglass is also used is making car panels, surfboards, electrical and thermal insulation.
Polycarbonate
A polycarbonate helmet, is a thermoplastic resin used in many helmets today. It is a polymer containing carbonate group in their chemical composition, thus the name. It is very strong and is the same material used in the manufacturing of lenses.
Carbon Fiber
A carbon fiber composite helmet means that a mixture of carbon fiber is woven into the helmet. Carbon fiber makes the helmet very light but comes at a cost. The material is used in making planes components because of its lightness. Other products where carbon fiber is used are cars, motorcycle fairings, bicycles.
Kevlar
Kevlar is actually a registered trademark. The material used is para-aramid synthetic fiber. Many would claim that a Kevlar-reinforced helmet is the best protection one’s head can have. As we all know, Kevlar is used to make bullet-proof vests. They also lighten the product they are fused to. But it will also drain your pocket, it’s the most expensive composite material of all.
Many would say that buying expensive helmet is the sure-fire way to get that protection in the event of a crash. And many would also say that it isn’t actually so.
