Several factors can contribute to the weight of a motorcycle helmet. Here are some common aspects that can make a helmet heavier:
- Shell Material: The material used for the helmet's outer shell can impact its weight. Helmets are typically made from materials such as polycarbonate, fiberglass composite, carbon fiber, or a combination of these. Carbon fiber helmets tend to be lighter but more expensive, while polycarbonate helmets are generally heavier but more affordable.
