1. Motorcycle Open Face Helmet DOT Approved

Arriving in the first place and easily taking the lead overall competitors is a product by the company YEMA. The manufacturer has been on almost all of my helmet articles, and its products have continued to impress me.

Well, history repeats itself once again with this YM-627 open helmet. With over 1300 positive ratings, this helmet has definitely won the heart of consumers.

Well, let’s take a deeper dive into the future set of this helmet. It is available in two different colors. They are black and white. Both look good but, in my personal opinion, I love the matte black one.

Many of you may be worried about the helmet being an open-face one and not being able to give adequate cover from the rain. Well, I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about.

If you install the face shield properly, which is included in the box, then rain will not be able to touch your head. Let’s talk about other features of this helmet. It has a dual visor design.

There is a retractable smoke visor, which helps against the harsh rays of the sun, and the clear shield I mentioned before. The helmet also has inner lining pads, which are removable and washable too.

So, you can keep the helmet clean and bacteria-free at all times. The helmet also has an adjustable ventilation system, which is a feature rarely seen in helmets.

YEMA has made sure that it provides users with all of the latest and greatest features to make sure that they don’t have anything to complain about. I love that, and it is also reflected in the thousands of positive ratings received by this product.

Apart from this visor issue, there is nothing else that was reported back by the users of this helmet. For a company that makes dozens of different helmets, that is impressive. This helmet definitely deserves the first spot on this article.

2. FreedConn Motorcycle Bluetooth Helmet

Yes, you read that right! This helmet uses cutting-edge technology, which I will be discussing more later. The helmet arriving in second place is the FreedConn helmet. With over 800 positive feedbacks from consumers, this helmet is a great one.

Let’s see what features it offers. The helmet is available in three different options. You can choose from medium to XL. There are five unique color options too.

So, the company has given a little bit of flexibility when it comes to ordering this helmet. Let’s talk about the feature that all of you want to know about, and that is the helmet’s Bluetooth capabilities. The helmet has an impressive Bluetooth 3.0 system. With a battery life crossing the ten-hour mark, you will not feel the need to charge the helmet anytime soon.

There is an included button for calling, which is quite convenient. Before you ask, users tested this feature in the rain and at high speeds, and they were satisfied with the results. The helmet is DOT approved too. You don’t have to worry that due to the inclusion of one rare feature, the company would compromise on anything else.

The shell of this helmet is solid and will work properly to displace forces of impact. It also has an excellent ventilation system. This means that you will not be drenched in sweat after some time. You will also not feel the need to take the helmet off after some time. You will be able to enjoy your rides more and will not be distracted at all.

I think it is safe to say that unlike other Bluetooth-capable helmets on the market, this one is not a gimmick. The helmet itself is pretty impressive, with it checking all the right boxes of a high-quality product.

3. GDM GHOST Full Face Motorcycle Helmet

Coming in third place is another great product. This time the company in discussion is Duke Helmets. I have not heard of this manufacturer before, but with more than 600 ratings, it is certainly a popular option out there.

After checking out the helmet’s feature set, I was pretty impressed. I am sure you will be too. The look of this helmet is perhaps the best one on this list, at least for me.

The full matte black design and the stealthy look are amazing. Surely, the majority of you will like how this helmet looks. Regardless, there are no color options available, which is a bit of a disappointment. The helmet is DOT approved. It meets all the requirements which make the helmet legal for use in the USA.

You should not run into any issues with the authorities with this helmet. This full-face motorcycle helmet also has an aerodynamic design. This means that there will be little wind noise and drag. This is perfect for people who travel at high speeds. The manufacturer has also included two visors in the box.

There is a clear and a tinted one, which means that you will not have to buy one separately. This adds to the convenience factor of buying this product. This full-face helmet also features a double D chin strap, which will allow you to get a perfect fit at all times.

Just like the YEMA helmet, this one also has removable liner and cheek pads. They can be cleaned and washed. Worrying about bacteria due to sweat is a thing of the past with this amazing helmet.

Although Duke Helmets has created an amazing product, which is very close to the previous two, the manufacturer should look into these complaints and sort them out as soon as possible. Other than that, it is a fantastic and durable product, which will work well in the rain.

4. 1Storm Motorcycle Bike Full FACE Helmet

If you are looking for a helmet that not only has good rain protection but also has an amazing look, then you should take a look at this 1Storm helmet. I have heard of this company before. Their line-up is pretty solid, but they are not able to gather too many ratings/feedbacks, most probably due to lack of marketing. Regardless, you are going to love this product’s offerings.

From small to large, the helmet is available in different sizes to fit different heads. You won’t have an issue finding a size that fits your head size. There are also different color options available. With a total of nine different options, all of which are unique, you will be turning heads wherever you go. Let’s talk about durability. This helmet is made up of a thermoplastic material.

Although it is not the number one choice out there, such as fiberglass or carbon fiber, it still does a decent job of protecting the head against impacts. The helmet also has excellent three-level ventilation.

You don’t have to worry that in order to get good rain protection; you will have to compromise on the air transfer. You will be able to enjoy your daily rides and worry less about sweat formation.

Many manufacturers cut costs by using thin paddings in the interior of their helmets. This makes them very uncomfortable in the long run. Well, 1Storm definitely does not do that. They have made a product that has a thick lining. Combine this with the lightweight of the helmet itself, and you are getting a product that needs no taking off after wearing it for a while.

There is a high probability that you will receive a helmet that works properly. Regardless, the company should fix it if it needs to compete with big brands like YEMA.

5. TRIANGLE Lightweight Full Face Motorcycle Street Bike Helmet

This article is reaching its end, and the competition is still quite strong. Believe me when I tell you that it was quite difficult for me to give the helmets their respective positions due to them performing so similarly. Regardless, coming in fifth place is the motorcycle helmet by TRIANGLE. This helmet is available in only one color, and that is matte black.

If you would take a look at the helmet, you will see that this is the only color that suits it. The matte finish means that you will not have to worry about the cleaning of fingerprints every day.

Plus, the finish also makes the helmet more scratch-resistant, which is another huge plus in the long run. Durability is an aspect of a triangle that is vital to all people. Well, I have some great news for you in the case of this helmet.

It is DOT approved. What this means is that it has been cleared for use in USA streets. This is possible mainly due to the ABS build of this helmet which is able to spread forces of impacts evenly and quickly. It also features EPS foam lining in the interior. Although the brand did not use top-of-the-line materials for the exterior, they made sure not to compromise on the interior.

The thing with most helmets on the market is that they focus so much on safety that they forget other aspects of a helmet. One of them is ventilation. Many users complain about there being zero airflow in helmets. Well, with this helmet, that is certainly not the case. It has proper air transfer, so you will have close to zero sweat.

TRIANGLE is a company that makes some solid helmets. But they need to work on their quality control so that there will be little to zero unhappy customers.

6. LS2 Helmets Unisex Adult Full Face Helmet

Finally arriving in the sixth and final place is a helmet from LS2 Helmets. The manufacturer occasionally pop-ups on my articles, and it always impresses me. This time is no different with this Rapid helmet. You will appreciate its feature set too. Although I talked about ventilation in this article, there was no discussion related to moisture absorption.

Well, that is a feature not found in many helmets. Well, this one certainly has it, and it works great. Although the helmet has good ventilation, the lining absorbs moisture quickly, which is great for people who sweat a lot.

The helmet is extremely durable. This is possible, thanks to the use of two shells. It does not end there. Even with this design, the company has managed to keep this helmet lightweight.

This means that you will not have pain or pressure on the neck after wearing this helmet for some time. This means that you can have longer rides without ever taking the helmet off.

And before you ask, yes, this helmet is DOT approved. It has been cleared, legally speaking, for use in USA streets. Adding to the convenience factor of this helmet, the company has added removable padding.

It can be washed too, which means you will be able to keep it clean at all times. It is even hypoallergenic, so people who have allergies will not have any issues. Some other features include a scratch-resistant visor which is UV resistant too. It gives you a clear view of your surroundings without any distortion.

The fact that the majority of the buyers received a wrong-sized helmet is quite scary. The company should resolve this issue ASAP because what is the point of making a good helmet if it cannot be used by the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How Do I Keep My Helmet Visor Clear In The Rain?

There are various methods of doing so. The most popular and the most successful method is to use a hydrophobic film on the visor. The chemicals in them allow the water to roll right off without stopping.

Your visor will remain clear, and you will not have any distractions. You could also buy visors which are designed to be used in the rain. A quick head turn will do the trick too.

Q2: Are Motorcycle Helmets Waterproof?

No, they are not. Even when I was researching for this article, I could not find a product that explicitly stated that it was good to go in the rain. It all depends on the company and the quality of the product you are getting.

I figured out which of the helmets were good to go for rain by checking out user ratings regarding it. These helmets won out of hundreds of options.

Q3: How Do I Protect My Helmet From The Rain?

If you are worried about water entering your helmet, then you need to get a product that is tried and tested in the rain.

As manufacturers don’t guarantee anything in this regard, there is no way of making sure that the helmet will work properly in the rain.

But what I can guarantee you is that if you don’t receive a defective unit, all of the six mentioned helmets will work great.

Q4: Can I Wear A Visor In The Rain?

Yes, you can. You can treat it with Raincoat, which is an example of a hydrophobic agent I mentioned a few questions back. Without it, you will have a lot of difficulties clearing up your view.

You can turn your head to clear the water, too, but that is not helpful when it’s pouring hard. These are the best two ways to go. There are others too, but they are not particularly effective.

Conclusion

The market is all out of helmets when you search for ones that are designed to work in the rain. The only way to find products to fill this list was to check user ratings.

That is what led me to find these six helmets. Out of all of them, the easy winner is the YEMA helmet which also earned the first spot on this article.

YEMA is the best motorcycle helmet for rain. The company has made a solid product, and it checks all of the boxes of a high-quality helmet.

Regardless of the helmet you choose, as long as it is from this list, I can assure you that they will perform well in the rain.
