An open-face helmet is a type of motorcycle helmet that provides protection while allowing the rider's face to remain exposed. Unlike full-face helmets, which cover the entire head and face, open-face helmets feature a design that leaves the front open, offering better visibility and airflow. They are popular among riders who prefer a more relaxed riding experience and want to enjoy the surrounding environment. These helmets typically come with a padded interior for comfort and a secure fit. Many open-face helmets also have the option to attach a face shield or goggles for added protection against wind, debris, and insects. Riders often choose them for cruising or leisurely rides, valuing the balance between safety and freedom.
