How Do You Put On AHR Helmet With Long Hair?

It's annoying having hair fall in front of your eyes while riding and it can even be dangerous. There are several ways that women can wear long hair under a motorcycle helmet.
Braid your hair/Wear a ponytail
The most common and easiest way is to braid your hair or tie your hair into a ponytail. It will keep your hair from blowing around in the wind and getting tangled.
Put on a hair sock
Another good option for long hair is try wearing a hair sock. It is a tube of fabric that you can put your hair into before putting on your helmet.
Wear low bun
A low bun is often a go-to hairstyle for many riders because it keeps all the hair up tightly inside the helmet. It is very simple to make low bun, just twist your hair around itself and tie it using a single hair tie. Be sure to keep the end of your hair in the hair.
Wear a Balaclava
A Balaclava will not only hold your hair in place without getting it on your face but also will prevent the cold air from hitting your face.

AHR helmet guide: Does dropping a motorcycle helmet from low height ruin it?

The answer is generally NO. Normally, the real concern is from a major drop (for example from a balcony or second story window) or accident. If you drop it from your hand or it falls off you bike seat or handle there should be no issue. If you do drop it, you should still inspect it carefully. If there are no dents or cracks in the shell and none of the inside components are loose, then you shouldn't need to replace it. However, it should be noted that frequent drops, even from your hand, can reduce the effectiveness of the helmet, and it could fail in an accident. Please take good care of you helmet and store it properly when not in use.

Is It Okay to Put Stickers/Decals on AHR Helmet?

While riding, you may have seen other motorcyclists with stickers on their bike or helmet. Is it safe to put stickers on your helmet?
Yes, you can put stickers on AHR helmets. They are a great way to personalize your helmet and will not affect the safety or strength of the helmet.
There are a few things to consider before putting stickers on you helmet:
1. Be careful where you place the stickers. All AHR helmets are DOT approved and have a DOT sticker on the back of the helmet. Be sure you don't cover this DOT sticker. Please also note you should avoid putting stickers over vents and visors.
2. Use "helmet safe" and good quality stickers. A cheap or thin sticker will quickly fade or tear off.
3. If you want remove your stickers, be aware that they may leave a sticky residue on the helmet, which can be hard to remove. We do not recommend using harsh chemicals or sharp objects to remove this residue, because these may cause damage to the helmet. Warm water and a mild soap will work. Think before you stick!

Is AHR helmet DOT certified? Is DOT helmet good?

Yes, all our AHR helmets are DOT certified. As shown in the listing photos, each helmet has a small DOT sticker on the back. Some new riders may have heard of the DOT certification, but they may not understand why it is important, so we have provided an explanation below.
What is DOT?
DOT stands for the Department of Transportation. This organization set Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 218 for motorcycle helmets. All helmets sold for use by motorcyclists in the United States are required to meet this standard. Helmets that meet the requirements of FMVSS 218 are considered 'DOT certified' and are given a DOT sticker. However, the Department of Transportation doesn't test the helmets directly. Instead, the DOT holds the helmet manufacturers responsible for testing their own helmets and adjusting to meet the standards. What to do to meet FMVSS 218? A helmet needs to pass 3 tests to meet FMVSS 218. First is the impact attenuation test. It includes dropping the helmet on different impact anvil (flat anvil and cylindrical penetrator anvil) from a pre-set height. It simulates a crash scenario, and the impact is measured using scientific tools under two separate crash tests. Second is the penetration test. The helmet is fixed to a base, then a sharp striker is dropped on the outer surface of the helmet. The test striker must not penetrate the helmet, otherwise it will not pass the test. Third is the retention strap test. For this test, the helmet retention straps are placed under a load in tension. The test starts with a load of 50lbs for 30 seconds. The load is then increased to 300lbs for 120 seconds. The strap test ensures it can hold the helmet in place in case of an accidentWhat does a DOT sticker look like? The DOT sticker contains the following wording and information: manufacturer and/or brand, DOT, FMVSS No. 218, CERTIFIEDAlthough the DOT certification is often considered as the most basic standard, it does certify that the helmet meets important safety standards. We recommend being sure that any helmets you purchase have this certification.

Helmet: How do you measure head size before choosing a helmet?

A tailor's tape is the best tool for measuring your head for a helmet. Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your head. For most people, this will be right above your ears, approximately half an inch above your eyebrows. Measure your head circumference. Please refer head circumference table below to choosing a right size helmet.

AHR helmet: How to Make a Motorcycle Helmet Quieter

As most motorcyclists know, riding a motorcycle can be loud. Usually the noise comes from other cars, the bikes own engine, and the wind. In fact, the wind specifically is the loudest source of noise, and can cause long term hearing damage. Luckily, there are ways to reduce this noise, and many of them are relatively cheap and simple.
Wearing a right helmet
There is no way to make a motorcycle helmet 100% soundproof. However, you can make it a lot quieter by getting a right helmet.
The first factor you need to consider is the type of the helmet. Normally a full-face helmet covers the whole face and is quieter than a flip up helmet. A flip up helmet is quieter than an open face or half face helmet.
Second is the design of the helmet. Even if both helmets are the same type, they may be affected differently by the wind. A helmet with good aerodynamics can reduce wind noise more effectively.
Third is the fit of the helmet. If you wear the wrong size helmet, there is more space inside your helmet, which allows the wind and noise to affect it more. Choosing a snug fitting helmet is important to reduce noise.
Using earplugs/Balaclava mask/Scarf
(1) Using earplugs is another effective way for reducing wind noise. High quality, correctly fitting earplugs are comfortable on long rides and it will not take up any space in the helmet.
(2) Some exposed segments in the chin area can contribute to wind noise, so you can wear a scarf to help reduce the noise. Please note the scarf should be tucked around the neck into the helmet to block out any air that may get into the helmet.
(3) Wear a BALACLAVA mask. It will also protect the liner from sweat and if you are using a half face helmet or open face helmet, it will also protect your face from bugs, rock, etc.
Closing the visor properly when riding
Opening the visor while riding results in turbulence, which can increase the noise level. It is important to make sure the visor is always completely closed before riding.
Do not forget to protect your ears when riding! By taking some of the suggested precautions, you can minimize your risk of hearing loss and have a more pleasant ride.
