What is a Shorty Helmet? These type of motorcycle helmets are usually worn by those who ride street bikes, choppers, a vespa or other types of scooters. The shorty helmet is sometimes also referred to as a beanie helmet or "brain bucket".
While most the helmets of this type are DOT certified, there are some that are not. A beanie helmet offers a smaller coverage to the head. There are other types of helmets that offer more facial protection but some beanie helmets do have a visor for minimal sun and wind protection.
So, whether you are looking for a smaller form factor or don't want the bulky look of some other motorcycle helmets, a shorty or beanie helmet may be the way to go. Call it what you will; a street bike helmet, skull cap, brain bucket, or scooter helmet.
