Arai Helmets

The very best double sport safety full face helmets will stream about the very same quantity of air as a specialized dust headgear, due to the fact that they're essentially doing the very same task: Keeping you cool while you do energetic (and as a result sweaty) off-road riding.

DOT rankings are the bare minimum need in the states, however DOT safety testing isn't particularly rigorous, so we prefer safety helmets with either Snell rankings, ECE qualification, or some mix of the 3. For you hardcore off-roaders, a dirt-specific cover (motocross-style, no visor, open air flow, etc) is perfectly fine.

While dual sport motorcycles are, naturally, typically extra dirt-biased than their ADV cousins, the two self-controls normally pull from the very same swimming pool of headgear options. Not all dual-sport cyclists are as interested in getting as dirty as others though, so here's our global guidance when selecting the best dual-sport headgear for your riding style.

With that being said, keep in mind that while many reliable headgears include an ECE accreditation nowadays, you should not disregard a safety helmet even if it does not have one. Thus, a lot of dual sport motorcyclists have distinct demands when it involves bike equipment, specifically when it involves helmets.
