Motorcycle helmet accessories: Everything for care, comfort, and customization
Buying your perfect motorcycle helmet was just the first step. To ensure that it keeps you safe and comfortable for many years to come, and to give it a personal touch, there is a huge world of well-designed helmet accessories. These accessories are much more than just a nice gimmick – they are a sensible investment in the longevity, fit, comfort, and individual style of your most important piece of equipment.
From special cleaners that keep your visor streak-free to replacement pads that make an old helmet feel like new, to stylish spoilers that make your helmet unique. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the most important categories of helmet accessories. We show you how to properly care for and store your helmet, how to optimize its fit and comfort, and how to make it a real eye-catcher.
Care & storage: How to keep your helmet looking like new for a long time
A motorcycle helmet is a piece of high-tech protective equipment that requires regular care. Only a well-maintained helmet will provide lasting functionality and hygiene. With the right accessories, care is child's play.
The right cleaning for inside and outside
Exterior cleaning & insect removal:
Sweat, road dirt, and insect residues attack the paint and material over time. Special helmet and visor cleaners are gentle on the surface and effectively remove even stubborn dirt. Wet cleaning wipes are ideal for quick cleaning on the go. Avoid aggressive household cleaners, as these can damage the materials of your helmet.
Visor care for a streak-free view:
The visor requires special attention. Always use a soft microfiber cloth and special visor cleaners to avoid damaging the sensitive anti-scratch coating. A clear view is your most important safety feature!
Pad cleaning for freshness and hygiene:
Sweat and bacteria accumulate in the inner lining. Many helmets have removable padding that you can wash by hand. For quick refreshment in between washes, there are special foam or spray padding cleaners that neutralize odors and leave you feeling fresh.
Professional storage & transport
Where to store your expensive helmet after a ride? Simply placing it on a shelf is not the best solution.
At home: The perfect helmet wardrobe:
A professional storage solution ensures that your helmet is stored safely and can air out properly. This prevents odors and material fatigue. The Suitbase Pro wardrobe is the premium solution for this: Not only does it offer the perfect place for your helmet, it even actively dries it with an integrated fan if desired. A simpler but equally stylish solution is the Suitbase Hook 2.0 coat hook, which keeps your helmet safe and visible on the wall.
On the go: Protection against scratches and dents:
The standard fabric bag that comes with most helmets offers only minimal protection. A padded helmet bag or a special helmet backpack is a sensible investment to protect your valuable helmet from scratches and damage during transport.
Comfort & fit optimization: Get the most out of your helmet
A helmet that doesn't fit perfectly is not only uncomfortable, but also unsafe. With the right accessories, you can optimize the fit of your helmet and take comfort to a whole new level.
Replacement and comfort inner lining: Like new again
- Description: The inner lining of your helmet is a wearing part. Due to sweat and constant putting on and taking off, it loses its elasticity and volume over time. The helmet then no longer fits as snugly and securely as it did on the first day. A completely new inner lining can work wonders here and help your helmet regain its original fit.
- Example: For many premium helmets, there are precisely fitting replacement parts, such as the Sena Stryker inner lining. This ensures that the fit and hygiene are 100% again.
Cheek pads in different thicknesses: Fine tuning
- Description: The most common cause of an inaccurate fit is cheek pads that are too thick or too thin. Many manufacturers therefore offer optional cheek pads in different thicknesses (e.g., 5 mm thicker or thinner than the standard) for their helmet models. This allows you to adjust the fit in the cheek area perfectly to your individual face shape.
Wind deflectors and breath deflectors: Small parts, big impact
- Wind deflector: This small piece of fabric, which is mounted under the chin, effectively reduces air turbulence from below. The result: less draft on the neck and eyes and a noticeably quieter noise level in the helmet.
- Breath deflector: The small plastic or rubber spoiler in front of the nose directs your breath downward, preventing the visor from fogging up from the inside. A must-have for riding in cool or damp weather.
Customization & style: Make your helmet unique
Your helmet is also an expression of your personality. With special accessories, you can change the design of your helmet and make it stand out from the crowd.
Helmet visors & peaks: For that special look
- Description: A helmet visor, often called a “peak,” is not only an important feature on motocross and enduro helmets. It also gives retro and jet helmets a cool look and provides additional glare protection when the sun is low.
- Example: The Hedon helmet visor is a prime example of a high-quality accessory that perfectly complements and customizes the elegant look of a Hedon helmet.
Spoilers and aerodynamic kits: Racing look for the road
- Description: Want your helmet to look more aggressive and sporty? Retrofit spoilers are available for many popular helmet models, completely changing their design. They are usually simply glued or clipped on.
- Example: The mirrored version of the Icon Airflite spoiler makes a bold statement and transforms the already eye-catching Airflite helmet into an absolute head-turner.
Helmet decals and sticker sets
- Description: High-quality decoration kits are the easiest way to customize your helmet. With them, you can give your single-color helmet a complete racing design or simply add subtle accents. Be sure to use only special helmet stickers that will not damage the paint.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about motorcycle helmet accessories
1. What is the best way to clean my helmet padding?
It is best to hand wash them in lukewarm water with a mild shampoo or functional detergent. Do not put them in the dryer; allow them to air dry.
2. Does every inner lining fit every helmet?
No, absolutely not. Inner linings and cheek pads are always specific to a particular model. You must purchase the exact replacement part for your helmet model and helmet size.
3. Can I attach a spoiler to any helmet?
No. Retrofit spoilers are specially designed for the shape of a specific helmet model. Universal installation is usually not possible and would negatively affect aerodynamics.
4. What is the real benefit of a wind deflector on the chin?
It noticeably reduces the amount of air flowing into the helmet from below. This results in less draft around the eyes and, above all, less noise.
5. How do I find the right replacement part for my helmet?
The most important information is always the exact model name of your helmet (e.g., “Schuberth C5,” “Shoei Neotec 3”). With this name, you can quickly find all matching accessories and replacement parts in our shop using the search or filter function.
6. Are thicker or thinner cheek pads available for purchase?
Yes, manufacturers offer optional cheek pads in various thicknesses for many premium helmets. This is the best way to optimize the fit of your helmet after purchase.
7.- What is the advantage of a special helmet wardrobe?
It ensures safe and ventilated storage. The helmet can dry optimally after riding, which prevents odors and bacteria formation. It is also protected from scratches and falling off the shelf.
8. What is the best way to transport my helmet when I'm not riding?
Always use a padded helmet bag or a special backpack. Never place the helmet unprotected in the car or in your luggage to avoid scratches on the visor and paintwork.
9. Can I remove the breath deflector?
Yes, on most helmets the breath deflector is only plugged in and can be easily removed if it bothers you or if you want more air circulation in summer.
10. Are there any accessories to improve the noise level in the helmet?
Yes. A high-quality wind deflector on the chin is the most effective method. In addition, special earplugs for motorcyclists can help to reduce wind noise without blocking important traffic noises.
Conclusion: More than just spare parts – an investment in your helmet
The right accessories turn a good helmet into your perfect helmet. They increase comfort on long tours, maintain value through careful care, optimize the fit for greater safety, and give it a personal touch that reflects your style. From practical storage to the latest styling details, you'll find everything you need for life with your helmet.
