Are you a beginner in the world of motorcycles? Uncertain which motorcycle helmet to choose? They are many excellent brands and designs out there, but the favourite among newbie motorcyclist is the AGV K3 helmet. It’s a durable inexpensive helmet that is ideal for those on a budget.
The AGV K3 series is a comfortable helmet, lined with a removable and washable lining made of Dry Lex fabric – a fabric that owns moisture transport capabilities, which in turn, keeps the head area dry. The AGV K3 also owns an great ventilation system – an perfect tool to keep you awesome as you cruise along those roads. The ventilation system comprises of an air intake system, which includes two air vents on the front of the helmet and one front mouth vent, as well as two rear extractors that are found at the back of the helmet.
The K3 also comes with a clean, anti-scratch and anti-fog polycarbonate Street 8 visor, a visor that’ll enable you’ve to an great level of visibility. However, this alone could not stop the visor from steaming upward, so a visor ratchet system has been added to allow a small amount of air in (it works by opening up the visor at a variety of angles), so as to clean up the fog.
It also has a High Resistant Thermoplastic Resin shell – a solid material that protects your head from direct impact. This material has the added advantage of being relatively gentle, meaning it can be carried around easily. The thermoplastic is also painted, hence you can find numerous styles that are fun and individual, but still the most popular colour is black. Although, white is the most visible colour it’s not so widely used due to the fashionable image of the motorcyclist all clad in black.
Furthermore, the K3’s micro metric buckle, also known as Double D lock mechanism, is an excellent accessory that allows you to easily adjust the strap and is open on the K3 model, however, if you prefer a quick release system (the XQRS) the K3 basic model is for you.
The K3 is an perfect helmet, with a number of key features that aim to keep you safe, comfy and awesome. When choosing a motorcycle helmet, always remember to find a good fit that’s comfortable.
