User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Very light, quiet, and visable
I have had this helmet for awhile now and can offer an accurate opinion. My medium fits me perfect. It is snug but not too tight, although until broken in it is more snug than later. If you are touring and will be taking this helmet off all day, your ears may get rubbed somewhat raw.(the back of my ears do) This helmet is very quiet, although I almost always wear ear plugs. I installed a NOJ Quiet Rider fabric insert on the bottom of the helmet and it really makes a helmet much quieter. I had one on my last helmet also, took it off once while on a trip, put it back on before I went 10 miles. This helmet is also very light; in fact, it is one of the lightest helmets available. I have a white one because I think a white helmet or one with a primary color (red, blue, yellow etc.) is more easily seen by others, especially at night or under dim conditions. The ventilation is good, not great, but decent enough and I live in the Phoenix area. The faceshield is one of the best out there. It is easy to remove and install, is nice and thick with good clarity, and operates smoothly. Compare the faceshield to a different brand helmet and you will see what I mean. This helmet is also priced well, as I consider it a premium lid. Oh, it also looks nice and has a clean aero shape.
5 Stars Nice fitting and quality apparent
Lets face it, you get what you pay for, and in some cases, like your brain, one ought not to think about cutting corners. I have a big head, xxl fits right nice, came quick. Price not being an issue, any comments relate to quickness of delivery, very quick, fit and quality, high… Shoei rocks, even though I am not sure how to pronounce that properly.
