Lets talk about the price $440.00 dollars. It is something you have to think about because not just anyone is willing to sacrifice that amount. But trust me it is worth it. This helmet is lighter than any I have had, Icon and AGV helmets don't compare. AGV cost me $300 Icon $200.
This helmet feels more free I could turn my head both ways and not feel restricted and actually see. I don't feel I am wearing a helmet because the visor shows me everything I have a wider view than I did with other helmets. It feels free liberating. I love the part that it included a fog free feature, I had to act as my own manual wiper before to give me visibility on those foggy days.
This helmet looks beautiful it is quiet, yet durable. Overtime this helmet will pay for itself, there is no doubt about it.
Minus points are the Wind (blast)noise on this helmet is average or sometimes loud depends how you tilt the helmet down as I rides a sports touring bike.
While some may decry the use of helmets and gear as being ineffectual when you're going 85+ sitting otherwise exposed atop an exploding rocket while Mad Max - Fury of 495 Rush Hour (DMV resident here) plays out around you, I disagree.
Much like the girl that dashes out of her illegally parked 2003 Jetta into Sephora in the middle of a rainstorm with only a grocery bag held above her head to shield her hair from the rain, it's important to let casual observers know you still care just enough that they shouldn't worry that you've got nothing left to lose.
Also, gotta protect the moneymaker. A fully body cast is only attractive if your face is still 100%.
As far as safety goes, Shoei is the top of the line and this specific model (RF-1200) comes highly recommended from dozens of other attractive, safety-minded internet strangers on Amazon and Reddit.
Like Thanksgiving dinner it fits snugly yet comfortably, the pin-lock anti-fog visor does exactly as advertised, and the vents and design keep your head cool even as you yell obscenities at Honda Odyssey wielding NoVa soccer moms veering into your lane because they're busy playing Candy Crush on their way to wine and paint at 2PM on a Tuesday.
Purchased on Amazon in February 2018 for $500+ and was used sparingly for long distance hauls - I use a half-shell helmet and aviators for my city riding because nothing bad ever happens at 20-30mph.
Almost sold it a couple months back because I sold my motorcycle recently and wearing the helmet while frying oil splashy eggs comes close but ultimately doesn't match the thrill of the speed and solitude of the open road.
So while the amateur motorcycle helmet connoisseur may buy a helmet to ride their hog, I’m going to be looking for a motorcycle that matches this helmet.
