Jet helmets present themselves as a happy medium between scooter helmets and full-face touring helmets. Ideal for those riding around the city, as well the occasional trip out of town, jet lids are perfect for those who like to take it easy on the throttle, and go at a leisurely pace, as opposed to spirited rides on twisty roads. As such, the reduced frontal protection due to the lack of a chin bar is a compromise worth taking.
There are loads of touring-oriented jet helmets on the market, with the newest offering coming from WheelUp. The helmet specialist introduces the Hype HP3.S-Plus, a touring jet helmet that boasts impressive tech and safety features. For starters, it comes with a long visor that extends down to the level of the chin. This significantly reduces wind noise, while adding a tiny bit more protection to the chin area. Furthermore, it comes with a built-in Sena Smart10 Bluetooth intercom which boasts connectivity up to 900 meters and a battery life of up to 12 hours.
