ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets.

Yes, as an open-face helmet, the Acqua is ideal with goggles, bubble shields, or sunglasses. These provide essential eye protection from wind, dust, and UV rays. The Acqua also features integrated snaps for visors and peaks (sold separately), letting you choose your preferred accessories. This design offers complete personalisation flexibility.
Yes, the Acqua's interior liner is fully removable and washable. This makes maintenance straightforward – simply detach the liner gently and hand wash. The liner attaches via Velcro, so reinstalling is quick and intuitive. Regular washing keeps your helmet fresh and hygienic, especially after long rides or summer use.
The double D-ring chin strap is a secure closure system: thread the strap through two D-rings and fold it back over itself. This creates a strong, reliable fit that won't slip. The chin strap is padded with leatherette for comfort on long rides. This design is standard on all DMD Retro helmets and is simple to fasten and remove.
The Acqua is an iconic DMD Retro design with a classic, refined finish that pairs beautifully with cruisers and café racers. The fiberglass composite shell is engineered to keep colours vibrant and clear, even under constant sunlight. With regular care – gentle washing and scratch prevention – the original gloss is maintained. The durable finish reflects DMD's Italian craftsmanship.
