	~~Getting helmet sizing right starts with a proper head measurement~~, ~~taken with a soft tape around the largest part of the head, just above the eyebrows and ears~~. ~~That figure points to a starting size, but it is only a starting point, since head shape varies as much as head size~~.<br><br>A ~~leather trimmed helmet needs~~ a ~~little more attention than a plain shell~~, ~~but~~ the ~~upkeep~~ is ~~straightforward.

This kind of workshop sits closer to a design studio than a factory. Colourways, trims and finishes are developed the way a small run of any crafted object would be, with samples, adjustments and a final sign off before anything reaches a rider. To see the current range built this way, visit [http://martinpreisssoftware.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:FaustoFalk3088 HedonHelmets]. A made to order helmet starts long before any material is cut. Measurements are taken, the intended use of the helmet is discussed, and a rider works with the maker to settle on a shell, lining and finish that suit them specifically, rather than picking from fixed stock sizes. Full face and open face helmets suit different kinds of riding, and the right choice usually comes down to where and how you ride rather than looks alone. A full face helmet covers the chin and jaw, giving more protection in a wider range of impacts, and tends to suit faster roads and longer distances. ECE 22.06 is the current European standard that motorcycle helmets are tested against, and it replaced the older ECE 22.05 standard with a wider and more demanding set of tests. Helmets are checked for impact absorption at multiple points on the shell, not just the crown, and the standard also tests rotational forces, which earlier standards largely ignored. A handcrafted helmet shell starts with a base material, commonly fibreglass or a composite blend, layered and shaped by hand rather than produced purely by mould and machine. Each layer adds strength, and the shaping stage is where a lot of the time in production actually goes.
