How good are Thai Motorcycle Helmets?

I value my head and face so I bought a Shark Pro-Carbon at just over 19.000 baht. VERY good helmet but has a problem with the locking mechanism for the front part half-helmet.

 

But I'll probably buy a full-helmet (no half split) for longer trips and just use the Pro-Carbon as a half-helmet for city driving. The chin guards are excellent.

 

If you ride around a bit I really would suggest you buy a good quality helmet that fits you well. Just saw a video on Facebook of a thai big bike rider who t-boned a u-turning SUV at speed. His helmet went flying and he died. So use the chinstrap and see that it is properly tight so it doesnt fly off.

Good one.

I also bought a Pro Carbon Race last year.

Great full face helmet.

Also have a HJC rpha 11 and AGV K3 sv.

It's a bit like bikes ....just can never have enough.

      I would like to directly address the op's questions. All Thai motorcycle helmets are made to the Thai industrial standard. AFAIK, the current standard for motorcycle helmets is still TIS.369-2539.

      II can't complain about my Real Drift helmet. It's got an ECE sticker and I think there was a DOT sticker too. Nice beak to block the sun and more air flow under the chin. For the price it seems OK.

    Don't see what's wrong with a flat cap....

    I hear tweed has a higher safety category...

    Those big C helmets are just to dodge the police fines. In a crash they do nothing.
