For anyone who rides, a motorcycle helmet is the most important accessory you can own - not to mention a legal requirement. Of course, you'll also want to look good and be comfortable, so it's important to get a motorbike helmet that fits your personality, as well as your head.

Doble Direct is the UK's leading retailer of motorcycle clothing and accessories. We offer a fantastic range of top-quality motorcycle helmets from some of the best-known manufacturers. Whether you ride a racing bike, a cruiser or an off-road bike, we're sure to have motorcycle helmet to suit your style and your budget.

At Doble Direct, we offer an amazing selection of motorcycle helmets from top brands including Uvex, Airoh, Shark, Arai, Shoi, Motrax, X-lite, Nolan and Spada. Our motorbike helmets are offered in a variety of styles and colours and we can provide motorcycle helmets in all the major design types.

Full-face motorcycle helmets are generally agreed to be the safest type available, as they protect the entire head, including the chin. Face shields can be clear or tinted and most motorcycle helmets in this design include air vents.

Flip-up motorbike helmets provide flexibility, giving the choice of open-face or full-face, depending on your ride conditions. They are also convenient when you're not riding, as you can eat, drink or talk to others without having to remove your motorcycle helmet.

Motocross helmets have elongated chins for extra protection and a partially open face, so they should be worn with goggles. These motorbike helmets also include a visor to help keep the sun out of your eyes.

Open face motorcycle helmets cover the back of the skull, but not the chin. They can be provided with or without shields to protect your eyes and face from flying debris.

With so many types of motorcycle helmet available, it can be difficult to know where to start. Of course, as with everything else, you can generally be certain that the more expensive motorcycle helmets will provide better protection. With your comfort, your safety and possibly your life on the line, the purchase of a motorbike helmet isn't a place to skimp.

Whichever motorcycle helmet you purchase, the Department of Transport recommends that it comply with BS 6658:1985 or UN ECE Regulation 22.05. At Doble Direct, all of the motorcycle helmets that we sell conform to these guidelines.

Depending on your requirements and your budget, your motorbike helmet may also include features to make your ride even more enjoyable. For example, why not get a motorcycle helmet with Bluetooth, enabling you to take calls from your mobile, listen to music or hear your sat nav while on the road?

And always remember that if your motorcycle helmet is subject to any sort of impact - even a fall off of a table - you may need to get it replaced, as the safety features could be compromised.
