An off-road helmet can be a fantastic choice for riding on the road if you are in a hot climate and traveling at low to moderate speeds, like in a dense urban or city environment. They're designed to be used with goggles and allow greater airflow. More airflow into the eye-port equals greater cooling for the rider.
Yes! Except for the graphics, the shell and liner of street/road helmets and off-road helmets are made of the same materials. They must meet the same motorcycle helmet safety standards to be eligible for use despite being designed for specific environments. I have thousands of miles of experience using off-road or dirt bike helmets on the street. However, there are certain applications where an off-road helmet is preferable to a street helmet, even when most of the riding is on a paved road.

imo a full face doesn't give you much more protection than a dirtbike helmet rather the same tbh

Great video very informative! I have question cause I have a back and neck problem and and dont have 400$ to spend on a carbon helmet ! I’ve been thinking about buying a cross helmet since they are lighter and my question goes: is it fine to wear it in the highway , the wind sound might be annoying at a certain speed no?

You don't have to buy inexpensive carbon fiber to get a very lightweight helmet there are some very good fiberglass and fiberglass mix helmets on the market that are quite light. Concerning your question about wind speed that's a good point depending upon two main factors the speed you will be traveling and the duration. An off road helmet at high speed for long distance might not be the best option for you. But at lower speed or for shorter distances it might be ideal. A pair of goggles rather than sunglasses will be better at higher speed. Generally I am riding between 30 and 60 miles an hour when I'm wearing an off road helmet on the street for any length of time. For short ride speeds up to 80 miles an hour wearing goggles instead of sunglasses is fine for me but I wouldn't ride like that for more than two or three hours at most. Another option that would give you the best of both worlds is an adventure touring helmet which has many of the benefits of an off-road helmet but has a quality functioning phase shield just like any street home. I have three AGV AX9 adventure touring helmets because I like this style so much.

@@AGV_Sport thank you so much for being so responsive ! 🙏🏼 yes I have been looking at the LS2 pioneer mx 436 ( the price is very good for an entry level adv helmet) and the scorpion vx -16( with goggles) . I just can’t make my mind since i would be doing 60/80 for 3 to 4 hours

I always have headphones or ear plugs in regardless of the helmet I wear. My visor catches the wind tho. So I'm thinking about taking it off my mx helmet for highway use
