Question 4548
Among other things, one important characteristic when choosing a protective helmet is...
- that it has good airflow and ventilation so that it does not fog up.
- that it is dark or brown in color, not very visible, and does not stand out.
- that the fastening fits loosely or can be worn loose.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: that it has good airflow and ventilation so that it does not fog up.
A well-ventilated helmet lets heat and moisture escape. This reduces fogging on the face shield and helps you see better at any time of year. Light or bright colors make you more visible; dark ones do not. The strap must be securely fastened and snug, because a loose helmet flies off in a fall.
