What is a modular motorcycle helmet?
A modular helmet is a "2-in-1" design that's a cross between a full-face and an open-face. It has a full-face's chin bar and visor, but the entire chin bar is on a hinge and can be flipped up, usually with a single button.

What's the main benefit of a modular helmet?
Convenience! Modular helmets are amazing for riders who wear glasses, as you can flip the front up, put your glasses on, and close it. They're also great for touring, as you can flip it up at a gas stop to talk to someone or get a drink of water without taking your helmet all the way off.

Are modular helmets as safe as full-face helmets?
A high-quality modular helmet is very, very safe. However, the hinge mechanism does create a "pivot point" that a one-piece full-face doesn't have. In a very high-energy crash, it's a potential point of failure. That said, for 99% of riding and accidents, they offer fantastic protection.
