An open-face helmet — also called a 3/4 helmet — covers the top, back, and sides of your head but leaves your face open, with no chin bar. It's the classic choice for cruiser, café, and scooter riders who want an unobstructed view, plenty of airflow, and a timeless look. You get solid coverage for your skull while keeping the open, connected-to-the-road feel that full-face riders give up. ## Benefits of Open-Face Helmets Open-face helmets give you the widest field of view, the most airflow, and a classic style — ideal for relaxed cruiser, scooter, and around-town riding. - **Unmatched visibility** — nothing blocks your peripheral vision. - **Maximum airflow** — the open front keeps you cool in heat and traffic. - **Classic, lightweight feel** — popular with cruiser and vintage riders. - **Easy communication** — talk, eat, or drink without removing it. - **Eyewear-friendly** — easy to wear with sunglasses or goggles. ## Are Open-Face Helmets Safe? Open-face helmets protect the top, back, and sides of your head, but they have no chin bar — so they offer less protection for your face and jaw than a full-face or modular helmet. Choose a DOT- or ECE-certified model and add eye protection. They're a genuine step up from a half helmet in coverage, and a DOT/ECE-certified open-face is a legitimate, legal choice. Just go in clear-eyed: the open front trades face and chin protection for airflow and visibility. Many models include a snap-on face shield or flip-down sun visor; otherwise pair it with goggles or riding glasses. **Add eye and face protection.** Because the face is exposed, run a face shield, goggles, or riding glasses to guard against wind, bugs, and debris. New to helmets? See our [helmet buying guide](/pages/how-to-choose-a-motorcycle-helmet). ## How to Choose the Right Size Measure your head about an inch above your eyebrows, match it to the brand's size chart, and choose a snug fit. Sizes vary by brand, so always check the specific chart. - **Measure right** — widest part of the head, level, measured twice; use the larger number. - **Snug, not painful** — it shouldn't shift when you move your head. - **Between sizes? Size down**, and fine-tune with [cheek pads](/collections/helmet-cheek-pads). **Find your exact size:** our [brand-by-brand sizing charts](/pages/size-charts) cover every helmet we carry, plus how to measure and match your head shape. ## How to Care for an Open-Face Helmet Clean the shell and any visor with mild soap and lukewarm water, and hand-wash the removable liner so it stays fresh. - **Shell & visor** — lukewarm water and a microfiber cloth; skip harsh chemicals. - **Liner & pads** — hand-wash and air dry; refresh with new [liners](/collections/helmet-liners) and [cheek pads](/collections/helmet-cheek-pads). - **Lifespan** — replace after any impact or about every five years. ## Open-Face vs. Full-Face vs. Half An open-face sits between the two: more coverage and protection than a [half helmet](/collections/half-helmets), but more airflow and visibility — and less face protection — than a [full-face](/collections/full-face-helmets). ## Open-Face Helmet FAQs Are open-face helmets safe? They protect the top, back, and sides of your head, but lack a chin bar, so they offer less face and jaw protection than a full-face. A DOT- or ECE-certified open-face paired with eye protection is a legitimate, legal choice. Do open-face helmets have a face shield? Many do — either a snap-on face shield or a flip-down sun visor. If yours doesn't, pair it with goggles or riding glasses for eye protection. What's the difference between open-face and full-face? An open-face leaves your face exposed for better visibility and airflow; a full-face adds a fixed chin bar and sealed visor for maximum protection and a quieter ride. How do I size an open-face helmet? Measure around the widest part of your head about an inch above your eyebrows, match it to the brand's chart, and choose a snug fit. Between sizes, size down. ## Products in this collection - [Z1R Jimmy Solid Helmet](https://helmetshop.com/products/z1r-jimmy-solid-helmet) - 69.95 USD - [Z1R Grimlock Solid Helmet ?
