I've been wearing Shoei for about 5 years now. Went down on my first one and skidded across the highway on my face. From my experience these are the safest and most comfortable helmets on the market.
Interesting, I did the same thing a couple of months ago! My Harley branded modular HJC broke, and I wanted something quieter, and of better quality! I had to go over the mountain to the Honda dealership to try on different brands and ended up spending more than I had planed but bought the Shoei RF with a transition face shield! I was blown away by the airflow, and that transition face shield is the bomb! It’s quiet, and comfortable, and with the pin lock it doesn’t fog up ... well worth the money!
Shoei is a beautiful helmet for sure! Top of the line racing line
Voice is crisp and clear bossman. Nice upgrade!
I'm always impressed on your audio quality when riding. It's well done.
Lots of research and bugging blockhead and the crew, for sure!
Sounds great with the shield closed or open. Shoei is the only helmet I’ve ever had, I believe in quality and comfort over style and Shoei has premium quality and comfort and it’s not bad in style, once you feel the difference in those factors it’s hard to downgrade to a lesser helmet
I have the GT-Air and I love it. I tried on a lot of helmets and the GT-Air had all the things I was looking for - removable liner, room for the speakers, internal drop down visor, pin lock. I spent a lot of time trying on helmets and I have to say that you get a really good helmet for the money. the fit and finish is so much better than most of the other helmets I have tried. It's literally double the price, but for me it is worth it.
Hey John, thanks for sharing, I believe that when you opened that 5mm gap on the visor it actually made the sound clearer and better do to the change in the acoustics of the helmet. You might wanna run some tests on that subject. Love your videos. Kudos on the great work.

Thanks for the review of the GT-Air 2. I've been wearing Shoei since my first bike (1991 CBR600F2) and every time I try to switch brands, I come back. In your video, you talk about making sure it fits. The Shoei shape just seems to fit my head the best. AGV/Arai/etc. just don't seem to fit comfortably. I bought an RF-1200 about a month before the GT-Air2 came out and as soon as I can convince my wife that I need to replace the helmet I just bought, I will be getting one. The biggest thing for me will be the integrated Sena communications. On the RF-1200, I had to "adjust" some of the foam in the ear cups to get the Sena speakers to fit and even with trying to hide the wires, it still detracts from the quality of the helmet itself. The Sena fits, but not the way I really want it to. Keep up the good work.
Shoei neotec 2 is my third helmet I’ve owed and by far the best... and for sure most expensive but it comes with the chin wind guard, pin lock shield and removable breath guard. Which are all things I bought for the other helmets at additional costs. So when you do the math the less expensive helmets with all the added parts will be less money but your getting a by far better quality and quiet helmet with the shoei helmets and all the extras you may want to use during certain riding conditions.
Glad to see another positive review on this lid. I've been on the fence with it for a while but I think I'm going to end up with it. Thanks for the post
We took almost the same path. I had an HJC modular and really liked it but it was Maroon then I got a new to me Ultra in Black and Grey. Had to get a new helmet, went with a modular Shoei. They are proud of their helmets! Then of course the next year Shoei changed their modular to probably a better design. My luck. My chin guard is hardly ever down, only in the winter and Rain.
Excellent video. I've been riding with a Scorpion half helmet for about 10 years now. Time for an upgrade and thinking of going with a modular helmet. I really appreciate this video. Thanks
Try to find a replacement inner sun visor in amber. It will help with night vision.
Ghost bandit guy myself. It does carry some wind sound inside but would vlog like Matt Laidlaw if/when I do. I find it very necessary to concentrate on my road in California and the distraction of talking on a video would probably get me killed. Split lanes as much as I do and you would agree . I love the drop down shade thingy. Many times I am heading out east bound in the AM before sunrise and when it does come up I can flip a switch and see. I read a lot of reviews about wind buffeting and helmets of all brands. My GB is steady as a rock at ummm (don't tell anybody 120) on my FXFBS. You know I think that thing will go a little bit faster.............. To each his own and YES test helmets would be great but then I think bowling shoes and change my mind. Oh and nice helmet. I may get 1 someday when I need a new one. Because of your review of course !
I ride with a Shoie Neotech and I love it. Lost a bunch of lbs and need to change the cheek pads and its back to being the best helmet I've ever had.
I have had both Shoei and Arai. My Arai Defiant-X ( Renegade in the UK ) is the most comfortable and quiet I've owned. Visor mechanism is super smooth too. Love your channel John. 👍🏴
I picked up one on Saturday from Chattahoochee HD. I had the HJC IS17 and agree the Shoei is better. It's hot as hell in Columbus. Appreciate you taking a minute to fist bump me and my kids. Ride safe!
Thanks for saying hey!
I'm pretty happy with my Schubert C3 so far. It is really quiet and the best is, it fit to my head!
I have a RF-SR, and got a transition visor. It works great!
I'm seriously considering your setup vs the GT Air II. The additional Snell rating is a plus. Any reason you went the route you did vs. the GT Air II?
Thanks for all the videos, you encouraged me to drop everything and go to mmi. Started in July followed the passion for working on bikes. Maybe see ya down the road one day brotha. Keep up the good work.
I run a Bell Pitboss half helmet on my Ultra limited. When I had a Suzuki V-Strom I used a Shoei Quest. Great quiet helmet. I still have it in case I get another bike without a fairing. The like the Bell, but it scratches super easily. My Shoei still looks new.
I own two Shoei helmets and I have owned lots of others. Shape of your head will dictate which brand fits best. Shoei works for me and like you I like how quite they are and the air circulation. Your audio was fine even when the visor was open!
I enjoy your videos, either on bikes or accessories, keep um coming.

I went 2 x Neotec ll and Sena SRL mainly for coms with misses great set up and recommend it highly
Replacement CNS-1 Face-shield available in tinted. Gt Air user myself; leaps and bounds above HJC!
It sounds really great! Clear ! I have an Araia. Looking for a new one soon....thanks
That helmet is $950 in Australia. I have a HJC which is ok. Also my Chattahoochie HD T-shirt arrived yesterday! Rockin in 👍 cool vid btw
Sucks the helmet is so much, cool that the shirt made it!
I have the GT-AIR 1. Shoei oval fits my head perfectly so I never even think about another brand for a FF. When it needs replacement, I`m going to try the Neotec modular. Only because I have never had a modular and I know Shoei makes a top of the line product.
Shoei helemts are awesome! I have had the RF1200 for about 2 years- I will buy another when it gets to 5 ish years old! I bought for quietness and was able to get a photochromatic visor for the RF1200. The sound quality on the new vids are way better!!!
I've got the RF 1200 and just got the photo chromatic option, well worth the coin

Shoei makes top-quality helmets without a doubt. I have an odd shaped grape and couldn’t find a Shoei that fit right. Not because they don’t make one that would fit me, it’s more of not having the ability to try on the different models. I went with a Schuberth S2 Sport and installed a Sena. Comfortable and quiet.
I went through stages. No helmet, half, 3/4, and now modular. My favorite is my current one, Neotec 2. Same reason you switched to Shoei minus moto blogging. Hence the modular. Thanks Blockhead for Mr Maxwell’s awesome setup. 👍🏼
You sound great! Really clear and none of those extra little squeaks and creaks that you usually get. Thanks for another great video and keep the rubber side down brother!
The GT Air was on my list last year when I was shopping. Ended up with the new Arai Defiant-X. For me it’s perfect.
The speaker bar has been one of the better purchases for my Springfield. Always like your reviews of products, sponsored or not.
actually John, Sena make a hybrid helmet that call the Calvary and it has Bluetooth your phone to it and it will also play FM station as well. great helmet I ride a Harley Street Glide and I can hear the phone and other riders when connected. it is pretty awesome.
Nice video man. Honest, funny & logical.
Greetings from outback Victoria Australia. Ride safe
I think this is my next helmet purchase. Never had Bluetooth in a helmet and my Triumph is quite a bit less noisy than my Harley so it might be a good option for me.
I have a Simpson Mod Bandit for riding my heritage 114. Absolutely love it. Very comfortable.
Shoei RFSR is a great helmet. I bought one and have been very happy. Apparently the RFSR was made for an upright rider like me that rides a SGS. great video man
I have a nanotec 2 and I love it. I have the 10c Pro connected to it and it’s the best helmet I’ve ever owned.
I have a Shoei rf-sr and like it. I wish sena would make a specific one for that model then it'd be perfect.
I got a harley flip up front thing cost heaps here in Australia suppose noise isn't cheap windy noisy piece just as bad as my open face hahahehe went with it to have a break from wind noise seeing I've got tinnitus hardly wear it could plant something in it good garden ornaments just saying have a happy day John
The Schuberths are pretty quiet helmets but man, are they pricey. I bought a E1 for it being a modular with a roost visor and found the rumors to be true about the quietness of the helmet. I have a few different helmets but for knocking about I wear the HJC with ear plugs for my ringing ears. There is something about a $600+ helmet falling to the ground from my bike's bars or seat that I'd just rather avoid on a daily basis.
As another poster noted, head shape definitely dictates what brand of helmet will work best for you. My intermediate oval head is most comfortable in HJC helmets. No hot spots or headache. Some brands are just too round for my noggin. Good evaluation of what works good for you and why. Thanks
Great point on the buffeting, I wouldn’t have thought about. I prefer the idea of the scoop vent but of course it catches more air & messes up aerodynamics so it has to catch. Also highly recommend the ratchet strap, have one on a Daytona. Never heard of someone not using a strap, guess just used to it, you have to strap or it’s not DOT meaning it doesn’t meet the test parameters thus potentially useless; all please strap when wearing, be safe.
On trying on helmets, Amazon Prime is super friendly on free shipping returns as an option. Great review
Sounds fabulous!!, still hear what’s going on but your vocal is solid w easy articulation!
Yeah, audio is better\clearer. I still use the Dot 1/2 so I'ma mushroom head but I love the wind in my face. Love your content man, you should get some t-shirts and swag for us J-Max fans. Also, I am a Harley rider from Central Mississippi and I am bummed I can't meet you guys a Chunk River next week but my WORK gets in the way. We really need more HD dealerships to call out Central Ms Harley Dealership in Jackson, Mississippi. They are really letting us owners and the brand down. Keep up it up bro and ride safe.
Nice helmet John..I own a white &silver Harley full face. It's nice but I like yours better
You should review how your skin on your arms and legs protects you against an accident
Shoei qwest user here . Love shoei lids
Last year the GT Air (one) saved my life, or at least kept me from wishing I was dead from the accident. I collided with a buzzard, kamikazied me in the head actually, got dismounted, landed on my left shoulder and left side of my helmet. I scraped a chunk off of the helmet on that left side. Then I caught something in the road (I guess) on the slide that caused me to go face down for a few, eh, dozen maybe feet (I think the police report said 50ft in total slide, heck if I know). Scraped the heck out of the face shield and chin barn before I came to a stop. I was still in a sling and I think post surgery (had to wait 5 days to get that figured out) when I re-purchased the same Shoei GT Air. I love the regular one, so the 2 must be even better.
Damn! Glad you made out semi ok. A helmet that looks and feels good is awesome, if it can save ya, too, it’s worth the $$$
While I understand that you wear shades and don't need the drop down sun visor in the helmut, I will say that those of us in the geezer category, with prescription glasses appreciate the drop down shade! Like your vids.
I rock a pair of prescription shades when I'm not wearing my contacts! Different model frame, but still epoch eyewear like my normal sunglasses. I love them!
I have a matte black GT Air 2 and I'm pretty happy with it. $599. The integrated sunshield on a full-face was what sealed the deal for me. I have eyeglasses so I don't wear shades. I commute and need to have flip it up or down when riding as the sun comes up & goes down. I'm doing the same GoPro attachment as you, but haven't found the best place for a microphone yet. I wear ear plugs, so noise isn't an issue. I almost always have the visor cracked open or it fogs. I just haven't tried the pinlock piece yet. The Sena stuff is $299, too rick for me. That's not why I bought this helmet anyway. Is it 3 times better than the sub-$200 helmet it replaced? Probably not. I love the ratchet strap. It takes considerable effort to open the face shield, which I don't like. My biggest overall issue is the face shield opening is so large and high that morning and evening sun (low on horizon) is like a laser right in the eyes, which no way to block it. I added some wrap to the top of the visor to act as a blocker. I'd give the helmet an 8/10.
Shoei Transitions face shield would make a great addition for your helmet ! I love mine shade in day and clear at night Awesome Vid !!
When I’m traveling I use an Arai Quantum. It works great especially with the tinted shield riding through the Desert. The rest of the time I use a skid-lid.
I just bought a Shoei® GT-Air II, and it did come with a Pinlock. Maybe it's different in Europe.
Nice review John, I run a Shoei RF-SR. Doesn’t have the flip down sun shade but came with the pin lock lens. It was $400 and the most I have spent and yes it’s my favorite. Had an HJC full face, Nolan 3/4 and a Shoei RJ Air 3/4. There are more expensive than Shoei but I like them and the fit is really good. It’s a drag wearing a full face sometimes but it’s definitely the safest way to go.
Owned a Shoei RF-1100 years ago, Shoei makes great helmets, this one was a good pick. I only wish it didn't have the default SRL2 built-in as I wanted a Cardo Packtalk. I was looking at getting the GTA2 but it felt like I had a small gap on the top sides of my head that was only after I tried the Arai Signet-X as it's a long oval shape. Still, fit great just not the ideal fitment. I agree trying helmets on is the best way to identify fitment and comfort, went to the local cyclegear to try on other well-known brands. I ended up picking a helmet after talking with the employee about each one's fitment. Apparently, I'm the minority with a long oval head shape. My wife got the Shoei RF-1200 but I might get her the GTA2 as she does like the integrated sun visor.
You should try lidpicker next time they can help you identify what helmets and sizes fit best so you don't have to filter every brand/model out there. I was really skeptical and didn't want to bias my choice of the helmet so I looked at the results after I picked the helmet that felt best. They had only 2 helmets that were ideal for me and the rest were just in the ok fit with the majority in the out of range fitment. The one I picked was one of those two, I was amazed they were that accurate and correct.
I T-boned a Saturn L300 in a Shoei RF-1200. It kept me conscious so I could get up and play frogger across the freeway. Needless to say, that's my brand.
I love the drop down dark visor except I usually open my clear shield when I use it which would block that massive air intake. Nice helmet, definitely something to consider when I replace mine.
I'm pretty sure both shoei and agv will help if you need adjustments and get them to fit right. That has to say something. Like even go far enough to send someone to your local dealer.
I went with the Simpson Outlaw Bandit. And I watched Blockheads Motovlog helmet setup video to set mine up with camera and mic. Blockhead does great tutorials. The Simpson is kind of loud but I think I get good audio from it. And I wish it had a pin lock visor.....
"Why don't you just use headphones?" Because I don't like my ears rubbed raw or loosing more hearing. Personally, I tried a couple and they didn't work for me.
The GT Air 2s are sweet lids, I used to buy only Shoei helmets. But, when I bought the Ultra Classic the dealer gave me a killer deal on some gear and I bought one of the HJC IS 17 modulars and I really like it for day to day bashing around. I have the Shuberth E1 and HJC RPHA 70 ST for long rides.
Blockhead is a cool channel, along with you, Matt Laidlaw, and that bloke from across the pond Motonewbrider.
I’ll say the shoei rf1200 is best especially with a transitions shield If they put the integrated SENA and ratchet it would be even better I’m now using a neotech 2 with integrated Sena and honestly the 1200 is way better. I’ve had various shoei,icon,hjc,, bell and scorpion helmets by far shoei is a way more quality product
The rf1200 didn’t fit me quite as well, and the integrated sena and ratchet strap were winners, for sure.
I have the Shoei RYD (Australia) think they are the RF-SR in the US, great helmet lighter than the GT-Air, no internal visor and great ventilation, I tried on both and there was little difference in the fit and quality but it was nearly $300 cheaper, I also fitted the Transitions Photochromic Pinlock visor that works very well, I leave the pinlock in the visor.
That black and white flag SHOEI you guys have there at Chattahoochee is 🔥🔥🔥.
It’s funny you say that cuz when I saw it for the first time I thought of you. It fits you and your mission well.
@@TheHarleyTechIts a nice helmet for sure and its pretty cool Chattahooche HD is an authorized dealer for Shoei. Always nice to try on a helmet of this price before actually dropping some cash on one.
Listen to them Zombie Baffles Awesome man! Oh ya the helmet review.... Thanks JM
I've had 4 Shoei and an Arai helmet. Arai most expensive but love the Shoei fit and comfort much better. My RF1200 is best full face ever. Also can't beat my badass carbon fiber. No weight but still DOT approved.
Was thinking about buying one..know I am..Thank you for your insight.
Sounds like it’s a great helmet! Comfortable but I have the airflow issue also because my chin air has to be shut off. That sena seems legit didn’t know that maybe one day it’ll be my v2....awesome vid! Really good editing 👏🏻
The buffeting is most likely caused by the dirty air coming off that windscreen, caused by the vacuum behind the windscreen
I have the Shoei neotec 2, I love it!
Hey man thanks, as a new-ish rider... I really appreciate your vids.
Hey John, like you I couldn't find a US source for a dark smoked face shield for my Shoei GT-Air 2. Was able to order one from Fortamoto over in Europe (found them through their YT channel). About $60 plus 25 bucks international shipping when I got mine. Sucks you can't buy one in the US of A.
I have had probably 15 helmets or so over the last 30 years....I have stuck to Shoei or Arai pretty much throughout that time (I tried Suoumy and AGV also, but felt the other 2 were far better). I currently have 2 Arai race replica helmets (Corsair X Scott Russell and Josh Hopkins) that are in the 900 dollar range that I wear on my Ducati and am shopping for another Shoei for the Harley and for my GoPro rig. From Shoei I have had the RF-1100, RF1200, X-9, X-11and am now looking for possibly a touring type. The plus sides for the Shoei's....1. They are quieter than pretty much every other helmet out there. This is somewhat attributed to their face-shield design...most other helmets usually have "pods" on the sides for the shield mount (My Arai's still do) which would disrupt airflow over the helmet and create wind noise. 2. Shoei has ALWAYS had the largest selection of faceshields (even over Arai) Their iridium shields are EXTREMELY high quality. This has beenthe case for as long as I can remember 3. The mounting system for the shield is AWESOME. They have had pretty much the same system since the late 90's which is miles above everyone else's system that I have dealt with. 4. The helmet interior is VERY high quality, especially compared to less expensive helmets...you can IMMEDIATELY tell there is a difference in both Shoei and Aria helmet interiors compared to pretty much ANY other manufacturer. I have tried on 100's of helmets and literally have ALWAYS come back to the big 2. 5. Venting on both the Shoei and Arai are MILES ahead of the competition. Any who say they arent needs to put one on and open the vents in the winter..LOLZ. I think the Arai vents on my Corsairs are better, but they are harder to adjust when the helmet is on compared to the Shoei. 6. The shield ratcheting mechanism on the shoei is GREAT. It has settings for you to crack it open or a number of different openings and it stays in place. Nothing bugs me more than putting a shield where I want it (I like riding with it open 95% of the time) and it moves due to wind. Well there ya go...another book written!!! LOLZ Hey John....NICE HELMET!!
Schubert C3 PRO are the best helmet for me, expensive but very comfy..
But i all comes down to how much you value your head. For me the head are not only for keeping the water out when i’ts raining, i really need my head in one piece...🇩🇰
Great choice. I have the GT Air II as well. Had a "Victory" Helmet before {believe made by HJC}. There is a big difference between a $200 dollar and a $600 dollar helmet. The GT Air does not buffet nearly as much as the HJC did. And the comfort level can't be matched. I have found that the SENA unit seems to "hear" me better with the vent closed in front of my mouth. I can yell "Hello Sena" all day and she does not respond with vent open. But closed, she hears me just fine. Modular Helmets scare me, all I can think of is the thing opening up in a crash when you need it most. I agree with you, Buy a helmet made from a premier helmet company rather than buying a helmet from a company that makes comm units. That would be like going to a foot doctor for open heart surgery. You can buy a tinted{smoked} shield. I got 1 when I bought my helmet overseas{paid $425 for my GT AIR II} I got the smoke color, which is a lighter dark tint than the dark smoke is. I got that so shield does not have to be changed if riding at nite. Plus I have 3 levels of tinting between the shield, my sun glasses and the drop down visor. I have had to use all 3 already, esp when heading east during the morning OR west in the late afternoon. Check this link out. FC Moto. Sign up for their newsletter and get a 10% off code. Worth it, just use a throw away email address, LOL. It might take 3 weeks for you to get the dark shield you want, but it is worth it. I think its a stupid US Law with dark shields, so just buck the system and go overseas for what you want. Their shipping is not crazy either, bout 25 to get it to your door. OK, I talked enough, here you go. This company is legit, I ordered from them several times. www.fc-moto.de/epages/fcm.sf/en_US/?ObjectPath=/Shops/10207048/Products/Visor-Shoei-CNS-1/SubProducts/Visor-Shoei-CNS-1-0003 as you can see, FC Moto is still cheaper than anything EBAY has. Even with being shipped from Germany. LOL www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=shoei+cns-1+smoke+visor&_sacat=0
Thanks!
Sound quality is great
Great video today John. Although, I wear an outlaw Vietnam Veteran half helmet with a fixed shield and drop down shade. My wife and I have com2 communications in our helmets. Go work some and have a great day.
John, I like the new Helmet set up. The sound is excellent.
I just bought Shoei NXR2 , GT AIR 2 was a close second
Love my GT Air
Audio was awesome the whole time btw.
As always John produced a good video. I really like the fit of my Shoei RF-SR helmet ($400.00) but the $200 price tag for the transition visor in my opinion is horrendous. That makes it the same price as the GT AIR 2 with the built-in QSV-2 sun shield. But the RF-SR surpasses DOT and SNELL M201 ratings.
I do have a Sena SMH10R unit. When people call me on the phone they have no idea that I am on the bike. Definitely a quality items from Shoei. Just didn't care for the price gouge on the visor.
Additional thoughts... I had a transition included with my Bell Qualifier DLX. Bad thing is I purchased the Bell one size larger than I should have. I thought, since I have to get the correct size do an upgrade to the Shoei. I thought that wearing sunglasses would not be an issue. Well shades are one more thing to carry. They claim the visors ship from Japan and that accounts for the price tag.
I am not sure if a correctly fitting Bell Qualifier would be as quiet. Does anyone have an opinion on that? My Shoei should last me a good 5 years but am considering overall cost the next time around.
Audio sounds great.
Ty for info , actually looking for a new helmet. Helps out
I just bought the Neotech 2 Modular for long trips my other helmet is half helmet and one nice thing is the protection in rain, when I ride with half helmet, the rain feels like darts hitting me in the face and honestly I don’t like that type of pain!!
I have the Neotec 2, super quiet an comfy. Took out the Sena SRL and put on a Pack Talk Bold. I put my Pinlock in immediately and keep it in
On a full face helmet.The buffeting is probably coming from the wind coming up the side of your tank in front of your knee. My three-quarter helmet doesn’t buffet nearly as much
True. Dot half helmets are the worst. They’ll kill your neck after 100 miles
Great helmet. By the way, on a separate note, I bought the same HD gloves a few months back. My palms are always stained black from them. I guess that will stop after a while.
I normally ride with a half helmet :-) But I had an HJC-IMaxII full face and wanted something better, did a load of shopping around and testing (in store) and ended up with a Schuberth C3. I got the integrated Sena headset with it and it is fantastic. Super quiet, pretty light, and great air flow. The only thing I don't like is the pin-lock screen doesn't cover the entire visor, so it can be annoying if the visor is fully down and I dip my head the top of the pin-lock is right across my eye line. but apart from that, great helmet. Oh and it was reduced (on sale) at Revzilla, like $300 off!
You can order a tinted visor from the U.K. I bought the Neotec 2 and wasn’t happy when I couldn’t buy a tinted visor. But for some reason Shoei sells them in the U.K..👍
Bro! This is great news. They’ll ship it to the US?
John Maxwell yes they will for about $30.
Audio quality is good. Good review. Especially since you had to use you own $$ it makes a true review.
They’re always true reviews. I already have the product, I have never had a company ask me to fib. If they did, I wouldn’t do the review.
John Maxwell thanks John for your integrity, there are so many reviews on RUclips where the manufacturers send products, free, to You tubers only to get good reviews.
Sounds 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥🔥🔥😁
I should have listened to you sooner.
John Maxwell 😂
I like these types of videos but much prefer your shop videos. Either way I do enjoy your vlogging.
Can you do a video on the oil transfer problem between the transmission and primary on the new m8 motors? I have a 17 limited ultra with this serious problem.
Joe Colbert he did a small piece on in in his M8 problems video. It’s not as big of a problem as the inter webs has made it out to be though.
Nice job Mr Dude..Enjoyed that…
Shoei makes a great helmet but it comes with a cost I have been using a X-11 for years probably to many but it’s still in great shape and I just can’t give it up in the winter , yes I wear a HJC half helmet in the temps above 60 degrees
I love my Nolan with N COM built in. N44
Harley pilot wearer. I like it. Comfortable and I like the look. Not bad for a modular.
