Modular Motorcycle Helmets continue to grow in popularity as more and more motorcycle riders seek versatility in their gear. At the very basic level of functionality, a modular helmet has a hinge on the chin bar allowing it to be flipped up when stopped for de-fogging purposes, fresh air, to smoke a cigarette, or any other reason you'd want to turn a full-face motorcycle helmet into an open-face helmet with ease. Some modular motorcycle helmets even allow you to completely transform the helmets to the point where they are road-safe. Consider this video your 2010 Premium Modular Motorcycle Helmet Buying Guide.
