Getting the best quality gear for protection is essential but it comes at a price.

We have spoken about the various helmet brands, their function, and why it is important to get a decent and comfortable helmet.

Price plays a HUGE part in this decision, so if you save up enough you can get yourself a Shoei or Arai helmet.

It may take a while before you purchase a new one, so taking care of your helmet is essential. Now you can keep your old helmet but change the exterior look at any time.

The agency for Helmet Skinz has been secured and it is now available in South Africa.

It is a protective cover for off-road and on-road helmets in about 50 different designs. This is a great way to customise your crash helmet, while also providing protection. It can make an old helmet look new or it can protect your new helmet from chips or scratches.

Motorcycle clubs now have an opportunity to design their own unique helmets for when they go out on breakfast runs or formal rides.

The helmet covers are also suitable for companies as a marketing tool to promote their brand or to give away to their clients.

Helmet Skinz are available for almost all full-face helmets such as Aria, Lazer, O'Neal, Enduro, No Fear, Shoei and many more.

Helmet Skinz are constructed of polyester and lycra, which resists heavy mud. They are easily stretched over your helmet, with no fasteners, and conform to the shape of your helmet with a patented design.

The helmet covers:

  • Are a completely patented design;
  • Protect the helmet's finish;
  • Are machine washable and mud resistant;
  • Have a double layer top panel for extra protection;
  • Have sublimated graphics that won't crack, fade or peel;
  • Fit almost all full face helmets; and
  • Have a "breathe easy" chin vent.

They are a great and cheaper way to customise your motocrosse, quad bike, ATV, mountain bike, dirt bike and street bike helmet.

Helmet Skinz are imported from the US and distributed by Helmet Skinz SA.
