My Adventure Helmet

Three helmets I'd trust for my next adventure. No sponsored picks — just what works, based on 40 years of riding.

ScorpionEXO AT960 Modular Adventure Helmet

The reference for modular adventure helmets. Being able to flip up the chin bar without removing the helmet makes a real difference if you wear glasses — or if you just want to talk or grab a smoke without the hassle.

ScorpionEXO AT950 Adventure Helmet

The non-modular version of the AT960. No hinge means better chin protection if you go down off-road. Its strong points: light weight, comfort, and excellent ventilation.

O'Neal Sierra Helmet, Matte Black

A genuinely solid value-for-money pick.

Whichever you pick, make sure it fits your head shape first — no helmet is the "best" one if it doesn't fit right.
