As much as the integration of cutting edge materials and technology contributes to the ever-improving safety of motorcycle helmets, one of the most important things to consider when it comes to keeping your noggin safe is simply fit. A poorly fitting helmet certainly won’t be able to keep you safe in the event of a crash, as, say, a helmet that fits perfectly on your head. Plus, a helmet that’s too loose or tight is really uncomfortable, too.
We’ve talked about NOS Helmets before, an Italian helmet brand that focuses on the perfect fit. NOS allows customers to tailor fit and adjust the fit of their helmets through special inner pads that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The brand introduced this tech with the NS-8 touring helmet, and is now diversifying its product offerings with the new NS-7C, a sportier full-face helmet with a carbon fiber shell. NOS, in fact, is so confident in their new helmet, that they’re inviting people to head over to their helmet dealers to test fit it.
