Royal Enfield German Style Helmet – Ultimate Guide

What is the history of German style helmets?

German style helmets were introduced during World War I, following heavy casualties due to severe head injuries as head is the most exposed body part of a soldier while in a war. The design of the German helmets or Stahlhelm was carried out by Dr. Friedrich Scheward. Stahlhelm is basically a steel helmet which protects the head from severe head wounds and injuries. These helmets were designed in such a way by Scheward so that these could protect the head, neck, nose and neck of a soldier in the battlefield.

Stahlhelms are way better in terms of the material used in making them as the British Brodie helmets were made of Hadfield steel, which used to prove fatal for the soldiers.

German helmets became very popular after the 2nd World War and in the contemporary times too, these helmets are liked and worn by the bikers and wearing them as a headgear has become a fashion trend. This trend began in the US but slowly and steadily it spread to other countries as well.

Why German style helmets are popular among the bikers?

A thing of the past, German style helmets have gained much popularity among the bikers riding bikes such as Harley Davidson, Royal Enfield, Indian Scout Bobber, Triumph Bonneville Bobber, Harley Davidson Street Bob etc.

Safety

Fashion Trend
