• What is the ECE-R22.06 certification and why does it matter?

  ECE-R22.06 is the European safety standard for protective helmets. This certification means the JETT helmet has undergone rigorous testing for impact resistance, retention system effectiveness, and field of vision. It guarantees that your helmet provides reliable protection that meets or exceeds European safety requirements, making it legal to wear in all EU countries.

• How does the RQ LIGHT fiberglass shell compare to other helmet materials?

  Roeg's RQ LIGHT fiberglass is a proprietary composite that offers an excellent balance of impact absorption, durability, and weight reduction. Compared to heavier polycarbonate shells, fiberglass maintains superior structural integrity and longevity while keeping the helmet lightweight for extended comfort. This makes it ideal for long rides and daily use.

• What is the difference between the 4-shell and 5-shell sizing options?

  The JETT is available in 4 shell sizes for all colors, and 5 shell sizes exclusively for black and matte black variants. The additional fifth shell size in black provides extra fit options for riders with less common head dimensions. Most riders will find their perfect fit within the standard 4-shell range; the fifth shell option simply offers additional precision for those who need it.

• Is the removable black peak necessary for safety, or is it purely cosmetic?

  The removable black peak is primarily a styling element that enhances the vintage café racer aesthetic. However, it can provide minor sun glare reduction during daytime riding. It is completely optional and does not affect the helmet's safety certification. Remove it whenever you prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look.

• Can I use this helmet for motorcycle transportation on public roads?

  Yes, absolutely. The JETT is ECE-R22.06 certified and street-legal in all EU countries and many other jurisdictions. Its open-face design provides excellent visibility and ventilation for city riding, cruising, and general road use. Always check your local regulations, as some countries may have specific helmet requirements, though the JETT exceeds standard requirements.

• What maintenance does the JETT helmet require?

  The JETT is low-maintenance. Periodically clean the exterior fiberglass shell with mild soap and water, and dry thoroughly. The Microtech fleece interior can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and solvents that may damage the shell. Inspect the double D-ring chinstrap regularly to ensure it remains secure. Replace the helmet if it experiences a significant impact, even if visible damage is not apparent.

• Are the optional bubble visors and peaks easy to attach and remove?

  Yes. The optional Roeg bubble visors and peaks attach securely using the gunmetal grey visor snaps already integrated into your JETT helmet. They snap on and off without tools, allowing you to customize your helmet's look in seconds. Roeg offers these accessories in various colors to match your style and riding preferences.

• Why is an open-face helmet better suited for café racer riding than a full-face?

  Open-face helmets like the JETT offer superior visibility, better ventilation, and an authentic vintage aesthetic that defines café racer culture. They provide excellent protection for the crown and sides of the head while maintaining the retro style that café racer enthusiasts value. Full-face helmets offer more complete coverage but sacrifice the classic look and airflow that open-face designs deliver. Choose based on your riding style and personal preference.
