Generally, an off-road or motocross helmet (Fig. 2.4) consists of elongated chin
and visor portions, a chin bar and a partially open face to provide extra protection
to the rider while wearing goggles. Current off-road helmets include a typically
angular chin bar to provide some facial impact protection in addition to protection
from flying dirt and debris. Off-road helmets, along with goggles, provide similar
protective features to those of full face helmets.
