How to distinguish real and fake helmets

     

Distinguish real and fake helmets with the naked eye It is difficult to distinguish between fake and real with the naked eye.

However, you can check the following details. First of all, is the brand name easy to peel off or the light color easy to fade?

A standard helmet will usually have a CR team showing which standards the helmet meets. There are standards such as Quatest, ECE, DOT, KC, ... that meet safety standards in terms of structure, technology, impact resistance, ... while poor quality helmets often do not have them or if they do, they are printed very roughly, easily peeled off, or blurred.

The helmet shell is usually made of ABS plastic with good hardness and impact resistance. The complete structure of a helmet includes a beak, lining, fabric layer and strap. However, to save costs, many manufacturers will not have a lining, or the outer shell is thin and unsafe.

Therefore, the weight will be lighter than the normal weight of 500-700 grams. A real helmet must have a manufacturer's stamp clearly stating the helmet information such as weight, manufacturer, size, etc.

 

Recognize how to distinguish real and fake helmets

   

Identify fake and real helmets by wearing them directly You can check fake and real helmets by going directly to the store and trying them on directly.

Helmets made from virgin EPS plastic will create a soft feeling for the user when pressed, only slightly dented. When wearing a poor quality helmet, it will feel light and hard due to the lining.

For real helmets, normal quality will have a thick shell with a smooth paint layer that is difficult to peel off. Check if the strap is sturdy and the button is easy to slip off.

If the strap is thick and the buckle is sturdy, this is a quality helmet.
