1. Low Profile German Style Half Face Helmet

If you are looking to buy something that will turn heads wherever you go, then I have got just the thing for you. This N118 helmet is something that any enthusiastic biker will love. The unusual spike on top design will surely make you look different than all other motorcyclists out there.

Apart from the spikes, the helmet has a matte finish. You won’t have to worry about cleaning it constantly, like the previous one. It follows the German style, which is perfect. It even has a vibe of a vintage helmet, making you look more like a veteran. You must be worried about the comfort of this German helmet.

Well, I have some good news for you. The manufacturer has completely padded the helmet’s interior, making it as comfortable as German helmets can get. So, you won’t feel the need to take the helmet off, even when you go on long adventures.

Let’s talk about safety. This helmet is certainly not the safest German one out there, but it is decent in this category. The company has created this helmet from polycarbonate, which is quite tough. If you are worried about the safety of others more than you, due to those spikes up top, you can relax.

The spikes are not sharpened and have been made short to avoid accidental contact. I must clarify that the N118 helmet is not DOT approved. So, you should set your expectations accordingly.

On paper, this helmet is a great one. It checks all of the boxes of a German helmet. If it is anything like what is stated online, which is usually the case, then you will love it. But it is still a risk as I am not familiar with the manufacturer and cannot comment on its reliability.

2. XFMT DOT German Style Motorcycle Half Helmet

You are in for a treat with this product. Although I have not heard of the company XMFT before, this helmet has made sure I will remember it if the topic of German helmets ever comes up in a discussion in the future.

This is the first product in the article that is available in different styles. You can choose one with integrated goggles, a glossy one, a matte black, and there is even an option for a carbon fiber one, which I am a fan of. There are also different sizes available, which are medium, large, and XL.

I don’t know how but XFMT got this helmet DOT approved. This is truly incredible. I have not come across a German helmet that is DOT approved, and this may change further down this list, but I am genuinely impressed. Let’s talk about the unique style you can choose, the one with the integrated goggles.

Although German helmets are not normally designed for usage at high speeds, XFMT made sure to deviate from that. The goggles and the excellent fit are two of the many reasons which make this helmet safe for use in the US. The helmet is made from an ABS shell.

I admit that the manufacturer could have gone with a better choice of materials, but it is how. ABS is still pretty good material, but alternatives such as fiberglass easily win in all regards. However, the advantage of ABS is that its color will not fade, even when exposed to the sun for hours on end.

The manufacturer should have tested its product more and collected more feedback to ensure that users would not have issues related to comfort and fitment. Other than that, it is a durable product and will appreciate it if you choose to buy it.

3. German Style Half Helmet With Goggles

If you are looking for a helmet similar to the last one but with better durability, you should check out this offering from Fatmingo. The manufacturer has created an excellent product which you will love. You will appreciate its offerings. Just like the previous helmet, this one uses an ABS shell.

The difference between this one and the old one is that it is considerably more durable, and it will withstand impacts better. The helmet’s insides have been lined with EPS foam, which is the best thing for any helmet. It can spread out the force of an impact, reducing the effect that reaches you. The look of this helmet is great.

It has that classical look, which goes perfectly if you are driving a scooter or a cruiser. The helmet is quite comfortable. Thanks to breathable fabric, you won’t have breathing issues due to too much moisture. This is also aided by the wicking capabilities of the helmet, keeping you dry and clean.

For added comfort, the strap has been padded to make your rides more comfortable. Let’s talk about the unique feature of this helmet, and that is its removable ear mufflers. Whether it be cold or hot, your head will remain as comfortable as it can get. This is not offered by any other manufacturers that I know of, so it is impressive.

Although the helmet is not DOT approved, I would not consider it a drawback because German helmets are not meant for safety. I don’t know how XFMT did it, but it should not matter this much in the case of German helmets.

4. Daytona Helmets Novelty German Hi-Gloss Black

If you loved the first Daytona product but are looking for something from the same brand, with a little shine to it, then I have got just the thing for you. Before I continue, I must say that I am quite impressed with the manufacturer winning two spots on this highly picky list. That tells you about the quality of the products the company makes. This helmet is made from 100% polyester.

Again, it is not the best choice of material, but you must also consider this helmet’s position. As this is a novelty helmet, you should not expect wonders from it in terms of safety. The best thing about this helmet is its low-profile look. Although it has a glossy design, the unique color option also makes it a low profile.

Now that is impressive. The look is also supported by the fact that it sits flush on the top of your head. There is just enough padding in there to make your head comfortable while preventing it from looking like a mushroom.

It also does not cover your ears, which is an excellent addition. The helmet’s strap uses a quick-release system, and it can be handled with one finger, making the process quick, easy, and efficient. Unlike the Fatmingo helmet, this one indeed has an adjustable strap. You can get the fit you want and won’t have to worry about the helmet getting knocked off due to it being loose.

If I were you, I would consider this product because Daytona is one of the best brands you can go for if you want a helmet for yourself. The company’s products always impress me and this time was no different.

5. German Flat Black Novelty Skull Cap

This final product is a strange one, and perhaps that is why it has been awarded the last place on this article. Although it has been classified in the motorcycling category, it calls it a cap instead of a helmet, and I have never heard that before.

Before I start, I must clarify that this final product should only be chosen if you want to risk it. I will be listing all of the features but cannot attest to the helmet’s reliability. The helmet is available in all sorts of sizes. Starting from small and going up to XXL, you certainly won’t have any issues finding the right size for your head.

The helmet has a stealthy look, which is not offered by almost all other products above it. The stealthy and low-profile look is perfect for those who don’t want any unwanted attention. The matte black color looks good in the pictures. Let’s talk about the features. This helmet is made up of fiberglass, which is quite impressive and is on par with companies like Daytona.

This means that Dream Apparel did not sacrifice the build quality of the helmet. And yes, the company’s name is indeed Dream Apparels. Even I was confused when I read the name for the first time.

Moreover, the interior has been padded properly for the ultimate comfortable experience. The helmet also uses a nylon Y-strap retention system, which is another great addition. The strap is adjustable and has a quick-release mechanism.

Although this helmet is a good one on paper, I would recommend checking out the other products on the market. Before you ask, I chose this product because very few German helmets meet the mark, and this one barely does that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are Our German-Style Helmets Safe?

I think answering this question is pretty easy. German helmets are not safe at all, and they are always sold as novelty items as they have been designed for looks rather than safety.

Of course, there are odd ones that have been DOT approved, like the XFMT one, but it does not even come close to safety when you compare a German helmet with a traditional one.

Q2: Are German Helmets Legal In The USA?

As most of your readers will be from the USA, I think it is paramount to answer this question. Unfortunately, German helmets are not legal for use in the USA.

Now, wait! It does not end there. There is one helmet out of all seven, and that is the XFMT one, which is DOT approved.

I don’t know how the manufacturer did it, but they made this helmet legal in the USA streets. That is truly incredible. But, generally, such helmets may get you into trouble with the authorities.

Q3: How Do I Measure My Head For A German Helmet?

Now, this is a good question. Well, I can assure you that the procedure is the same as with a normal helmet.

You need to measure the circumference of your head from the point where it sticks out the most, and this is close to one inch above the eyebrows.

You should compare the reading to the table, which companies usually add to the product page to order the appropriate size for you.

Q4: What Is A Mushroom Head Helmet?

So, you did read the article with full focus. The mushroom head is a term used when the helmet does not sit flush with the head.

This is common with helmets with excessive padding and thick shells, giving a mushroom look when worn. You should be on the lookout and avoid such German helmets unless you care about the looks.

Conclusion

So, there you have it, guys, my take on the best German motorcycle helmets. I can assure you, with full confidence, that there are very little to no articles which have covered this article this extensively.

From incomplete lists to no buying guides, they are severely lacking. Yes, that’s right! A short buying guide is done above this conclusion!

Out of all seven products that I checked out, I think it’s safe to say that the first Daytona helmet is the best one out of the bunch. The other ones are not bad either but, in terms of reliability, Daytona wins by a huge margin.

The helmet checks most of the marks of an excellent German helmet. Plus, the 14-day exchange window is also exclusive to the brand.
