The retro-scoter 3/4 shell that packs two visors and a quick-release buckle for gloved hands.

You get a clear scratch-resistant outer visor plus a retractable inner sun visor that flips down to block UV glare—so you are not fumbling with sunglasses when you ride into the sunset. This BEON helmet also meets both DOT FMVSS 218 and ECE 22.05 safety standards, which is the same level of certification European riders trust. The Click-n-Secure Quick-Release Buckle is strong enough to stay put in a crash but releases with one hand if you need to pull it off fast.

The helmet weighs 1.72 Kilograms, making it noticeably heavier than the 0.89 kg Yesmotor half helmet—a trade-off you accept for the extra coverage and the dual-visor convenience. It also comes with an additional long outer visor for highway speeds, so you can swap in more face protection on faster roads. The inner liner is removable and washable, and the metal visor base screws off by hand without tools. Buyers report that the 3/4 shell covers the back of the head more fully than a half helmet, which gives a more secure feeling on the freeway.

An open-face helmet from a trusted helmet brand that gives you a drop-down sun shield and a removable liner.

LS2 is a well-known name in helmet safety, and the Copter model brings that reputation into the open-face world. It is DOT approved and meets FMVSS 218, and it adds a flip-up quick-change shield for swapping visors in seconds. The drop-down sun shield lives inside the shell—you push a button and it slides down inside the visor area, so you never have to carry a second lens.

The interior uses Thermo Form comfort padding that is removable, washable, and made of breathable fabric that wicks moisture away. That means you stay cooler on hot summer rides than you would with a basic foam liner. The helmet weighs 4 pounds (1.81 kg); the BEON weighs 1.72 kg, and the lightest half helmet is 0.89 kg. One thing owners mention is that the flip-up shield covers the face well, so wind noise stays lower than typical open-face designs. The matte and glossy finish options let you match the helmet to your scooter’s color scheme.

The featherweight half helmet that comes with goggles and a washable liner right in the box.

At 0.89 Kilograms, this Yesmotor is the lightest helmet in our lineup; the BEON 3/4 shell weighs 1.72 kg. That makes a real difference when you are stopping at every light or carrying the helmet into a store. The ABS shell and EPS lining provide impact protection, and the low-profile skull design sits close to the head without looking bulbous. It is DOT certified and uses a quick release buckle for easy on and off.

The washable, moisture-wicking liner is a practical touch—scooter riders who wear their helmet daily can throw the liner in the wash when it starts to smell. Yesmotor also includes goggles and glasses in the box, which saves you a separate purchase. Because it is a half helmet, it leaves your ears and jaw exposed, which is fine for low-speed scooter rides but less protective than a 3/4 shell on faster roads.

A retro half helmet that looks like a baseball cap but meets DOT safety rules.

The Woljay stands out visually with its baseball-cap design that mimics a classic cap silhouette. The shell is one-piece molded ABS, which is the same impact-resistant material used in the heavier helmets. It comes with a Double D buckle closure—the more traditional strap system that some riders prefer over quick-release snaps for its simplicity and strength.

A face mask and glasses are included, which is useful for scooter riders who want a quick all-in-one solution. The helmet is compatible with a wide range of vehicles: ATV, adventure tourer, chopper, cruiser, dirt bike, mountain bike, scooter, snowmobile, and street bike. The oval interior shape fits most head profiles. Buyers mention that the baseball-cap brim gives it a relaxed look that pairs well with vintage scooters, but the brim is not removable for riders who want a smoother profile.

A German-style half helmet with three vents and a face shield for riders who run hot.

Heat buildup is a common complaint in half helmets, and the TRUSTERTHEE tackles it directly with three built-in vents that let air flow through the shell. The high-quality ABS material and glossy black finish give it a clean, durable look that pairs well with modern scooters. At 1.05 Kilograms, it lands in the middle of the weight range—heavier than the 0.89 kg Yesmotor but lighter than the 1.72 kg BEON.

A face shield is included, which gives you eye protection without needing separate glasses. The helmet is DOT certified and compatible with both motorcycle and scooter. The round shape fits most heads snugly, and the breathable interior prevents sweat buildup on warm days. Customers note that the German style—with its slight peak at the front—is comfortable for riders who wear glasses, as the peak does not push frames into the nose.

A half-face helmet that gives you a retractable inner smoked visor at an entry-level price.

The 1Storm is the only budget-tier helmet on this list with a built-in retractable inner smoked visor—a feature you usually find on helmets costing twice as much. The thermoplastic alloy shell is lightweight and aerodynamic, and the glossy UV protective finish resists fading in the sun. It is DOT approved and meets FMVSS 218, so the safety level matches the more expensive options.

The padding is removable and washable, which helps manage sweat after several days of scooter commuting. The model name is HKY205V, available in an Eagle Black color scheme that gives it a sharp look. Size S fits 55-56 cm head circumference. Reviewers point out that the retractable visor works smoothly and stays in position when flipped down, which is a common failure point on cheap helmets with similar features.
