Choosing the Right Helmet | MotorcycleCenter.com Affiliate Program

MotorcycleCenter.com Logo
The right motorcycle helmet must be comfortable to wear and provide the level of protection and safety it advertises. Only helmets that meet local or international protection-level standards (e.g. DOT-approved, Snell-approved) can be legally advertised as motorcycle helmets. Choosing the right helmet involves weighing protection against comfort and esthetic preference, and finding the right size and fit.

Types of Motorcycle Helmets

There are five basic types of motorcycle helmets: full face helmets, modular helmets, motocross helmets, open face helmets, and half helmets. Each type of helmet offers different levels of protection. Protection doesn’t always go hand in hand with comfort. Many riders find the less safe open and half helmets more comfortable.

Full Face Helmets

Full face helmets are the safest because they cover the entire head. A study conducted in Hannover Medical University in Germany found that 35% of motorcycle crashes involved significant impact on the chin and jaw area which is covered by full helmets. Many riders, however, dislike full face helmets for the increased heat, reduced hearing, and low level of ventilation they provide.

Modular Helmets

Modular helmets, also called flip-up helmets, are a hybrid between full face and open face helmets. A fully-assembled modular helmet (with the chin bar down) looks like a full face helmet. When the chin bar is removed or flipped up, the full face design turns to open face. Unofficial tests show that modular helmets have the ability to protect the chin and jaw. But the level of protection has yet to be proven in official studies.

Motocross Helmets

Motocross helmets, or off-road helmets, are full face helmets designed specifically for use by off-road riders. Motocross helmets have a longer sun visor and elongated chin bar which provide additional protection in a face-down fall.

Open Face Helmets

Open face Helmets, or three-quarter helmets, have the basic components of full face helmets but they don’t offer the chin and jaw protection.

Half Helmets

Half helmets don’t cover the lower part of the head and provide the least protection. They are popular among riders of American-style cruisers.

Finding the Right Fit

Motorcycle helmets are not one-size-fits-all—heads have different sizes and shapes. A helmet that doesn’t fit well can shift during an accident and compromise the level of protection it offers. Knowing your head size is a good place to start. Head size, or hat size, is a measurement in inches or centimeters. To find your head size, measure the widest part of your head—just above your eyebrows, over your ears, and around the back. Measure several times and find the average.

Use the table below to compare your size or convert measurements from inches to centimeters. Use head size as reference. Different motorcycle helmet brands and models have different shapes—a helmet that fits one person well may not fit another. You should try as many helmets of different brands and models as you can.

To test a helmet, follow these guidelines:

Slip the helmet over your head. The helmet must feel tight but not binding. There must be no pressure areas and no gap between your temples and brow pads. If you have to choose between a slightly tight helmet and a slightly loose helmet, choose the tight because new helmets tend to loosen up after some wear. If you are trying a full-face helmet, make sure your eyes are in the middle of the eye port.

Fasten the chin strap. Move your head side to side, forward and backward. The helmet should not slide, roll off your head, or come close to sliding or rolling.  It should feel snug and comfortably tight. A well fit helmet should cause your skin to move as you move your head.

Remove the helmet. If you feel any soreness, the helmet might have pressure points, which can cause headaches during long rides. Try a larger helmet or different model if you feel pressure points.

Helmet Color

Choosing a color is a personal preference and most motorcyclists prefer to wear black. But wearing a white or brightly colored helmet makes you more visible. If you still have to wear a black helmet, make sure that it has at least some reflective material.

Helmet Brands

Brands reflect personality, just as colors do. Most well-known brand names of motorcycle helmets offer similar protection. As long as the helmet you are trying is comfortable, fits well, and is certified, the brand is less important. If safety is your primary concern, consider a brand such as Shark. The main consideration for the design of Shark helmets is racing—they are light but made of a very strong carbon fiber. Other helmet brands similar in quality are Shoei and Arai.

Weight Loss Affiliate Program

If you’ve tried many fitness programs or weight loss plans that just didn’t live up to what you wanted, you’re not alone. The majority of programs available don’t work because they’re not complete systems. With APY60, THE ULTIMATE YOGA, you get a complete system that changes your body and your life in just 60 days! American Power Yoga 60 affiliate program is professionally managed by Paulson Management Group.

Yoga books tell us that Yoga is aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the spirit. Some yogis feel that the mind and the body are one. If given the right yoga kit and taken to the right environment, one can find harmony and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic.

Yoga is probably the oldest defined practice of self development. It originally came from India and dates back over five thousand years ago. Yoga has become a very common term around the world today. Classes are found in every town and city. With hectic schedules, especially around the holidays, wouldn’t it be nice to get the same workout in the comfort of your home?

It helps you become more aware of your body’s posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a stress stricken environment. This is one of the foremost reasons why people want to start practicing yoga – to get in shape, be more energetic, be happier and peaceful.

Yoga is a perfect fitness routine that address all areas of the body, mind and spirit. By practicing yoga successfully, you can develop a connection between the mind and the body and improve your concentration – very important in helping maintain focus in any kind of sport.

Yoga is considered a mind-body type of complementary and alternative medicine practice. Yoga brings together physical and mental disciplines to achieve peacefulness of body and mind, helping you relax and manage stress and anxiety. Traditional yoga philosophy requires that students adhere to this mission through behavior, diet and meditation. But if you’re just looking for better stress management — whether because of life’s daily hassles or a health problem you’re facing — and not an entire lifestyle change or way of life, yoga can still help.

APY60 will change your body and your life in just 60 days! The entire kit comes with:

  • Daily Blends
  • 10 Weeks of American Power Yoga Classes
  • Step-by-Step Fitness Guide
  • Nutrition Guide
  • Kurt’s Kitchen™

There are many benefits you can gain from the practice of yoga. Here are some of the benefits of yoga practice:

  • Increasing flexibility
  • Increasing lubrication of the joints, ligaments and tendons
  • Massaging to all organs of the body
  • Complete detoxification
  • Excellent toning of the muscles
  • Provide balancing of the nervous system
  • Reduction of stress

The APY60 Affiliate Program is professionally managed by the team of Paulson Management Group, Inc. Affiliates will be rewarded with a high $25 straight commission! Sign up for this affiliate program and earn some serious commissions!

2012 Fashion Trends | Boutique To You | Affiliate Program

Designers everywhere are setting this years trends by moving away from bright summer colors to more rich warm colors for the winter. Although not all of the major designers have unveiled their collections, some trends are already occurring on the runway. Here is a short rundown of what you can expect to see in 2012.

1. NEW RICH TONES

Finally! The acid bright days have died. Time to channel your old western side and go rustic in your selection of colors. Think of rust red, brown barks and camel tones. Not only does this give you a more down to earth yet structured theme, it also prepares you with the tones that accompany a haute winter look! This combination of chic & hippie is a surefire way to look your best this winter. Check out WildFox on Boutique To You for an endless array of earth toned fashions. (Fact: Warm and dark colors keep you warm better than lighter tones.)

2.  GRAY IS THE NEW BLACK
Gray is back in fashion. After a very long break, the fashion industry has revived the love for the color gray to bring back a sense of sophistication and grounding that the runways have been missing. If you have been observing, 2011 has always been about the outrageous, sometimes eye-cringing outfits, 2012 seems to be calming down. Another off-shoot trend from this is that there is a boom for more sleek and straight cut silhouettes. This is good news for those fashionistas who have been dying to show off their curves even under winter wear. Check out Lauren Moshi’s polished looks with stylized nature prints. She is one of my favorites : )
3.  TEXTURE, TEXTURE, TEXTURE
Now that the chill has arrived, settle and snuggle in with your thick, warm, textured wardrobe in earth and autumn tones. Coats, skirts and tops are mostly looking thick or bulky in most Pre-Fall 2012 collections. However, this trend is a little bit tricky, specifically for the curvy types as it adds more volume. So make sure that you wear this trend to where you need to add a little thickness. One of the top pics of the season is Wink’s Tiffany Jacket.
4. That’s a LINE!
This is not only about the stripes. It is about straight lines that go across the body both horizontally, vertically and diagonally. Ladies rejoice! More ways for you to feel sexy as these lines accentuate curves. It can also help minimize or maximize any body part that needs it. This is also great for women who wishes to elongate their torsos! Arynk has a fantastic Striped Blazer that is sure to turn heads this winter.

5. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF LEG
We can never underestimate the power of a pair of legs that goes on forever – or even just great legs in general! This trend is a great way for the conservatives who want to add a little spice in their wardrobe. A small peek-a-boo from the slit will do you just fine. Flaunt your walkers and leave a little mystery with this season’s trend of slits on the skirts. Boutique To You sells some of the hautest skirts you can find online. You can select from a wide variety of mid-length to long skirts for the winter. This Gypsy Junkies Sequin Pencil Skirt is sure to turn heads.

Fashion Affiliate Program- Spring Must-Haves

Every time a new season presents itself, the same problem arises — how can I have a variety of looks without buying multiple different outfits??  Excess Baggage has key, fashion staples to help you out this season!  Excess Baggage’s affiliate program is professionally managed by Paulson Management Group, Inc.

Savvy shoppers, like those who shop Excess Baggage,  know that the way to develop a wardrobe is to look carefully at the trends and then pick pieces that will work together in a variety of combinations….without breaking the bank! For this spring, focus on these three must-have pieces and everything else will fall into place. I’ll show you the staple items you HAVE to have — and how to wear them in the most flattering way.

CROPPED OUTERWEAR

Spring’s hot new jackets seem to have undergone some cosmetic surgery! This “tighter fit” look is a perfect match with new skirts and pants or as an update to last year’s staples. Look for clean, tailored notched lapels or cardigan styles that stop right at the hip. Both fitted and boxy shapes are equally right. Too small for you? Choose a slightly longer, tailored version that is gathered at the waist with a small, metallic belt. Tuck in blouses and shirts but not tees, tanks or shells. Leave them untucked to create another layer.  Perfecto!

Steer clear of crazy, small cropped styles unless you’re confident with your rear view. For the most slimming effect, choose a solid color, matching your jacket to your skirt or pant as close as possible. A jacket that contrasts with bottom pieces will cause the eye to stop right at the hip, so make sure you want that!

VIBRANT COAT

A new spring coat, in this case, the hip-length, fierce and fabulous wear-everywhere pea coat. While the Romaine Pea Coat by BBDakota remains classic, this season’s “it” coat come with all the trimmings. Look for bright, bold colors, prints, playful buttons or patterned trims that finish the seams and edges. You’ll also love day-into-evening styles fashioned in shimmering satin or other glistening fabrics.

You’ll get the most fashion mileage from your new trench by going within bright colors such as blue, orange, yellow, blue, green or pink. Don’t be shy!!If you prefer a more classic color, consider white. It’s a modern, head-turning alternative to khaki or black.

SKIRT WITH VOLUME

Say “see ya” to the thigh-high mini and “welcome” to the fuller skirt. Whether you choose a circle skirt, an A-line, a drop waist flare or a flirty pleated number, a skirt with volume is the way to go. Lengths hover around mid-knee, although the short, pleated skirt is still kicking.  For the most flattering look, choose lightweight fabrics that flutter with the spring breeze.

The full skirt and blouse combination is a perfectly lovely, professional look. Let a few buttons slip to show a peek of leg and suddenly the world is at your feet.
