The Top Benefits of getting the X-DRAK Helmet

The main thing in choosing a suitable helmet besides the outer look is whether or not it fits perfectly while riding your bike. Buying the right-sized helmet is the main thing that will protect your head in the event of an accident. 

During an impact, the force of impact is managed by the impact-absorbing liner in the helmet. If there is too much room in the helmet, your head will most likely be knocked against the inside of your own helmet. 

On the other hand, if your helmet is too tight, it will be very uncomfortable and might even restrict movement and airflow, which could also be dangerous while riding. This DOT (Department of Transportation) approved, slim-fit design will fit just right and prevent any looseness while riding, which could be annoying and dangerous at the same time. Here is what you will love.

Offers more Flexibility 

This tight fit is compensated with an open faced helmet, allowing for maximum movement. You wouldn’t be feeling claustrophobic as you will receive tons of air flow while you ride; it does not cover your chin or face. You can also adjust the air flow system via large adjustable sliders at the top to allow more airflow while riding. 

Made with Fiberglass

The X-DRAK is conceived around a slim shell made of fiberglass. Fiberglass is heavier than carbon glass which could be slightly heavier to wear. Nonetheless, this heaviness guarantees durability in the event of an impact and have been proven to offer protection over many years of use. 

However, fiberglass is designed to shatter upon impact as energy is dissipated by shattering. Upon first impact, the rider is usually protected as the helmet absorbs the force leaving the rider unharmed. Fiberglass is usually suitable for people who just enjoy riding or cruising in their bikes and not for riders who are competing in high impact races. 

You can tinker around a bit

As an open faced helmet, the X-DRAK also includes adjustable components such as removable face mask and visor and removable peak that you can snap on and off. 

Feels like an open face helmet

For an open faced helmet, the detachable components are surprisingly well in deflecting-air, which will make you feel like you have on a full face helmet. For riders who wears glasses, this helmet is compatible with eye-ware so you can ride comfortably without compromising your vision. This also comes in handy as the shield only offers a lights tint. For riders who are sensitive to too much light, or who just prefer a darker vision, you can comfortably put on a pair of goggles. 

On top of that, the X-DRAK is designed with side entrances that allows for better hearing without taking off your helmet. Temperature control is also enhanced with the X-DRAK Matte helmet due to its ventilation features on the top and sides of the helmet.
