Adult ATV Helmets in ATV Helmets(26)

To find the right size for an adult ATV helmet, start by measuring the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows using a flexible tape measure. Compare this measurement with the helmet size chart provided by the manufacturer. When trying on the helmet, it should fit snugly without causing discomfort or pressure points. Make sure it doesn't move excessively when you shake your head. Proper fit is crucial for safety and comfort during rides.

When selecting an ATV helmet, look for safety certifications such as DOT (Department of Transportation) approval, which indicates the helmet meets federal safety standards. Some helmets may also have ECE or Snell certifications, reflecting additional safety testing. These labels ensure the helmet has undergone rigorous impact and penetration tests, providing better protection during off-road riding.

Off-road helmets are designed specifically for activities like ATV riding and motocross. They typically feature a more extended chin bar for better ventilation, a sun visor to shield from sunlight, and a lightweight design for comfort during intense activity. Street helmets, on the other hand, are built for on-road use with full-face coverage, aerodynamic shapes, and often less ventilation. Choosing the right type depends on your riding style and environment.

ATV helmets generally have a recommended usage lifespan of about five years from the date of manufacture. Over time, materials like foam and plastic can degrade, reducing the helmet's protective capabilities. Additionally, helmets should be replaced immediately if they have been involved in a crash or show visible signs of damage such as cracks or dents. Regularly checking your helmet's condition helps maintain safety.

Many ATV helmets offer replacement parts such as visors, inner padding, and chin straps to extend the helmet's usability and comfort. Availability depends on the helmet brand and model. When purchasing, check the product details or contact Walmart customer service to confirm if replacement parts are available for your specific helmet. Using genuine parts helps maintain the helmet's fit and safety features.
