Biker's head armor
A motorcycle helmet is protective headgear worn by motorcyclists, covering the skull and often the face.
Helmets absorb impact in crashes and shield against wind, debris, and weather.
Most jurisdictions require them by law: He got ticketed for riding without a motorcycle helmet.
Full-face helmets offer the most protection; half helmets cover only the crown.
