Frequently asked questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions to help you choose your motorcycle equipment, helmet or accessory.
-
What are the advantages of a jet helmet?
Jet helmets aren't all bad news. In fact, in the city, where speeds are moderate, it can even be a wise choice. The jet offers a wider field of vision, which is very useful in urban environments, and good ventilation. In summer, when it's very hot in the city, the jet helmet proves very comfortable. Last but not least, it' s the lightest of all motorcycle helmets. On average, a jet helmet weighs 1 kg, compared with 1.4 kg for a full-face or 1.6 kg for a modular helmet. If you have sensitive neck muscles, you'll appreciate this helmet.
-
Can I take my driving test with a jet helmet?
Absolutely! As long as your jet helmet is ECE-approved to the current standard, and the reflective stickers have been correctly applied, he can't refuse. Licence inspectors don't really like jet helmets, though, because they offer less safety (no chin strap) and, in traffic, you're less likely to hear their instructions.

What are the different types of jet helmets?
The jet comes in two sub-categories.
First, there's the "classic" jet. These range from simple models with a skullcap and visor to hyper-sophisticated helmets with a multitude of options to enhance comfort and safety. The latter can be distinguished from a full-face helmet only by the absence of a chin strap and a much wider field of vision. They're generally popular with city dwellers, but not only.
The second type of jet is the "neo-retro" model, which is very popular at the moment. As I said earlier, they're often to die for aesthetically. And that's essentially what they're all about. Vintage spirit obliges, you won't find a double sunscreen or any other "high tech" option. But be warned, these are faux-vintage helmets that protect like the latest-generation helmets that they are.
To get the full look (and incidentally, to see anything at all), as these helmets very rarely have a visor, you need to complement them with motorcycle goggles. Here too, the neo-retro craze means you don't have to go hunting for an old pair of Climaxes at the flea market: manufacturers offer very complete and functional ranges.

What you need to know about the jet helmet
The jet helmet is ideal for city riding and short trips. In addition to protecting your head in the city, it gives you a unique style. Mainly worn in spring and summer, it provides ventilation and air circulation for the head, thanks to its open face.
It's also very often screwed onto the heads of comfort-conscious scooter riders.
The jet motorcycle helmet is an effective and sturdy motorcycle helmet. You can customize it with a variety of accessories:
- Sunscreen
- Protective shield (mid-length, long, retractable, etc.)
- Bluetooth kit
- Comfort foams
From vintage motorcycle helmetsto modern jet helmets, one thing's for sure: opting for a jet helmet is also a question of style. Each brand offers a wide range of colors and models to satisfy the most demanding biker. There are jet, jet touring (with visor) and even half-jet motorcycle helmets.
At Ixtem Moto we offer men's jet helmets, women's jet helmets and even children's jet helmets.
Why choose a jet helmet
As we all know, city dwellers are crazy about them. They're the icon of an entire generation, and are making a strong comeback in big cities.
The reason why jet helmets are so fashionable in the urban environment is that they're easy to carry, aesthetically pleasing and lightweight.
But that's not all. Wearing a jet helmet on the move means enjoying the wind on your face. Like an air of freedom even greater than with a full-face helmet for example.
The jet touring helmet is a good compromise for those who want more freedom with more protection. Thehelmet shield protects your eyes from dust, wind, etc., while preserving a wide field of vision.
And, of course, for style! Vintage, café racer, modern, classic... the choice is wide.
