How To Choose an ATV Helmet

With so many options available, figuring out how to choose an ATV helmet can be tricky. Fortunately, we’ve got some thoughts to help you decide on the right ATV helmet for you.
Whether you call it a skid lid, a brain bucket or a hard hat, an ATV helmet is one of the most important pieces of safety gear you should own. The only thing that should come before it is common sense, which would tell you to wear a helmet. If you want to know how to choose an ATV helmet, is really pretty easy as long as you know the basics of what to look for.

Not a bad article, I'm glad it was mentioned never to buy a used helmet. I do feel you could have touched on a few more things... helmets aren't good forever, after a number of years the inner foam used for impact dispersion will not do as well as when it was new.
DOT certification was touched on, but perhaps a little more info on other different rating for helmets, SNELL and ECE R22-05, etc.
I was disappointed there was no mention of modular helmets, where the entire face can swing up - my favorite type, hehe. This allows you to get fresh air, talk more freely, have a drink, grab a bite, etc without taking off the helmet.
Something else to mention is having a removable liner makes it much easier to keep clean and from getting the funky helmet smell.
I thought you may be interested in some feedback, this is in no way a slam on the article or your site. Again, thanks for all the great content on your site, I've read much of it.
Cheers.

Oh I really appreciate the feedback. I'll send up some notes to the editor so they can look it over and get an idea of how to improve their article.
Just for clarification however, this is not my article. I post on behalf of ATV.com until we can get some posting sorted. Plus posting them gives me notifications so I can drop in and chat about it
- perk of the job.
Thanks! I'm super stoked to go on atv.com and see all the new articles I can bring to the community. Gives you guys something to read and stay up to date on industry news.
