Best Motorcycle Helmets Under $300 in 2023 (Tested Reviews!)

A motorcycle helmet can save your life, we all know that. But it can also make your rides a pleasure or a very bad if not outright dangerous experience. A sturdy helmet that also has cool features like anti-fogging visor and a nice Bluetooth connection will make your rides both safer and more fun while a bad helmet can be both boring, annoying, uncomfortable and only provide a false sense of safety.

Top quality helmets usually cost more than $100. But you can definitely find some awesome models at a $150-$300 dollar range and those are the helmets I’ve ordered, tested and reviewed in this article. All of these 10 helmets were taken for a spin (along with 10 more that didn’t make it on this list because they were either overpriced or simply didn’t provide the same quality). After carrying these ten helmets on my precious head, I’m confident in recommending them to my friends, clients and you fellow reader. So let’s check them out:

Significant advancements in the EPS technology of the helmet ensure that this product, although small and compact, offers the same protection as that of much heavier and bulkier ones. The shell and chin of the helmet are made of a high-quality thermoplastic alloy. A small issue with this helmet, however, is the fact that some type of wind noise appears at highway speeds.
