  Anatomy of a Motorcycle Helmet
 

What's Inside and Outside a Motorcycle Helmet

Shield: The face shield is made of a strong, transparent material called polycarbonate and is designed to protect the face of the rider from wind, dust and insects.  These shields are equipped with water and scratch-resistant coatings, and are usually manufactured using one of two methods.  The first involves conventional shaping of a flat panel using heat and pressure, and the second utilizes injection molding technology.

Retention System: A Special synthetic fiber chin strap serves to secure the helmet firmly on the rider's head.  The retention system is attached tot he helmet using NASA-level metal rivets.

Ventilation System: A ventilation system is a standard feature of more recently produced helmets.  it ensures that fresh air is directed into the helmet and exhaled air and humidity are vented out.  Shoei's exclusive venting technology makes Shoei helmets the coolest on the road today.

Outer Shell: In the event of an accident, the outer shell will absorb and disperse the impact.  FRP - A composite material made up of synthetic resin reinforced with organic fibers and fiberglass.  Manufacturing costs to produce FRP shells are very high, but the use of modern, lightweight fibers make it possible to produce very strong, yet lightweight shells.  Thermoplastics on the other hand, which are used to produce most of the helmets (lowe end helmets) on the road today, must be very thick to provide the required protection and this makes these helmets very heavy.  These thermoplastics are also not very resistant to chemicals and the Sun's UV rays, which will weaken them over time.

Expanded Polystyrene: The EPS liner protects the wearer's head by absorbing the remaining force of the impact that was already partially absorbed and dispersed by the outer shell.   Located inside the outer shell, the liner is made of lightweight, impact-absorbing expanded polystyrene (EPS).  Formulated of a variety of materials, EPS is the product of more than 40 years worth of research and development.  These materials have varying degrees of hardness, which improves the helmet and enhances its ability to disperse the forces of an impact.

Comfort Liner: Despite its rounded shape, the EPS lining is much too hard to provide a snug and comfortable fit, so many helmet manufacturers integrate a synthetic foam padding system covered with a ski-friendly fabric into each helmet.  This padding is made up of several different kinds of foam of varying densities to ensure a long lasting, comfortable fit.  This is especially important, as the vibrations produced by the helmet during high-speed rides can be exacerbated if the comfort padding is too soft, which can have a negative effect on the safety of the rider.
