Jet – Open Face Helmets

Jet - Open Face Helmets at Go Kart Center

Jet helmets are light, cool and practical for the city, for scooters and for summer riding. We stock models from Axor (Kioto, Retro Jet, JET W/V, Old School), Pilot (Fly SV, Fazer) and MT Helmets (Street S), including retro designs for classic and custom motorcycles and models with internal sun visors.

Why a jet helmet

Jet or open-face helmets cover the head but leave the face free, making them light, cool and practical for short trips in the city, for scooters and for hot days. Without a chin bar, protection for the lower face is limited, so for faster riding outside the city a full-face or modular helmet is the safer choice.

ECE 22.06 approval

ECE 22.06 is the current European approval standard for motorcycle helmets and replaced the older 22.05. Its tests are considerably stricter: the shell is impacted at more points and at different speeds, rotational effects in oblique impacts are assessed, the visor is impact-tested and accessories approved by the manufacturer are also checked. On the approval label, P means the chin bar is protective, J indicates an open-face helmet and P/J a modular helmet that may be ridden open or closed.

Finding the right size

Measure the circumference of your head about two fingers above the eyebrows and around the widest point at the back, then compare with the brand's size chart. A new helmet should fit snugly and evenly, press lightly on the cheeks and not rotate when you shake your head, without painful pressure points after ten minutes. Liners bed in with use, so a helmet that feels loose in the shop will feel looser later. If you are between two sizes, ask us to compare the shell sizes.

Helmet care

Clean the shell and visor with lukewarm water and a soft cloth, without solvents. Remove and wash the liner regularly and let the helmet dry in the shade. A helmet that has taken a significant impact should be replaced, even if no damage is visible, because the protective liner is compressed permanently.
