Modular Helmets: Fusion at its Best | When an Open Face Meets a Full Face

So what are modular helmets, you reckon? And why are they becoming so popular? 

A modular, a.k.a. flip up helmet is a cross between a full face and an open face helmet. It incorporates the best feature of both types of helmets and is fast becoming a popular choice among the riders.

Features of Modular Helmets

Flip up helmets are increasingly becoming a popular riding gear, especially among cruisers, tourers and adventure riders.  

• The chin bar and visor of modular helmets can be flipped up with the touch of a button to convert them into open face helmets. 
• Conversely, with the chin bar down they become similar to a full face helmet. In this position, they provide the benefits of a full face motorcycle helmet.
• Modular helmets are slightly heavier than a full face helmet. It is so, because of the added design features necessary to make it a hybrid helmet. 
•  A modular helmet is close to a full face vis-à-vis providing coverage and protection when the chin bar is flipped down. It becomes airy, giving a sense of openness and freedom when the rider lifts the chin bar.
• Among the most versatile type of motorcycle helmets, modular helmets are both comfortable and convenient.
• The rider can be flip up the helmet whenever he/she wants to take a short break. The break could be to chat with the fellow passenger or get some fresh air. It could also be a stop signal or a quick bite at a roadside. One can do all these without having to take off the helmet.
• Some flip up helmet models have the approval for both open and full face positions. They have a dual certification. 
• However, most of them are not designed to be used as an open face helmet when and should only be used in a closed position when riding.
• The movable chin bar is a convenience feature for times when the rider is taking a break.

Benefits of Modular Helmets

• When flipped up, a modular motorcycle helmet provides the same airy feel like an open face helmet and brings a welcome relief from the heat.
• It allows the rider to chat with a fellow rider or co-passenger or catch a quick bite at a roadside, without having to take off the helmet.
• When closed, it keeps the rider’s face safe from bugs, dust, strong winds, rain and other irritants, thus reducing distractions and enhancing comfort and safety.
• Some modular helmets have an additional sun visor. It protects the rider from the sharp glare of the sun and does away with the need to wear sunglasses.
• Most modular helmets have air vents at the back that allows the air to escape, making the helmet more comfortable, especially in summers. This feature helps in keeping the rider comfortable enough to ride even in hot and humid conditions.
• It is also popular with riders who wear glasses. Its design allows the rider to wear a helmet without having to remove their glasses.
