Does anyone know the difference between men's, women's and unisex helmets? I was looking at one that looks nice and feels comfortable but it says that it's a women's helmet.

 

probly just in the paint job, a heads a head as far as I know, only the mans have more brains! And I'm talkin about the head on our shoulders, not the southern one. Ok girls, flame on

 

It just might be a sign as to what head shape it was molded in. In the biz, I find women's heads to be just slightly rounder than a lot of men's (more oval). The straps aren't on different sides, unless it's powder blue or hot pink if it fits, it fits. Arai uses 3 different head shapes, they don't distinguish male or female. Some companies have rounder shapes as their standard bearer, others have more oval.

 

the bigger reputable helmet mfgrs, like shoei, arai, suomy, HJC, and KBC dont have specific gender labled helmets as far as i know.

what helmet are you looking at that lables the helmets per gender?

 

thank you gentlemen for your help...

While looking for a helmet for my bride, I was told that most Harley helmets use the same shell, and just add more padding. There are apparently some models of Fulmer that actually use a different shell size. There are probably others, as well.

 

Well mens are for men, and womens are for women, the unic's version, well if you have to ask.

I have never ran across this type of scenrio, except for the paint job. If it fits and provide adequate protection, I would say go for it. The wife and I have both wear 3/4 face Arai helmets, and love them, however I do also have a Shoei half for thoise warmer days.

 

You're welcome. If you want to know more about the ones I carry, let me know.

 

Men have penises. Women have vaginas.

 

I think women's helmets have a seal around the lower rim.
