Great Helmet
As usual, Shoei was the best fit for my head. Very comfortable, light and quiet (size small). Got XS cheek pads to make fit perfect, easy to change. Ventilation is acceptable, not extraordinary. Some fogging occurs during cold mornings. Opening visor to the first position fixes that, but makes helmet more noisy. Not really noticeable with earplugs. My only gripe is with Shoei, not the helmet itself; why are the multicolored / painted helmets so expensive? I want visibility and a nice looking helmet, and not have to pay $500 for it! I added some flame decals on this one - looks pretty sharp.Reviewer: Urgesteinwheelz (Santa Cruz, CA) 5.26.2011
Shoei Qwest
Helmet meets my expectations based on reviews. Lots of room for communication device, quiet, lightweight and excellent peripheral field of view. As a GS rider the redesigned shape make a difference as far as wind noise is concerned when comparing to my Arai Vector.Reviewer: Troy P. (West, TX) 5.24.2011
Shoei Qwest
My Icon helmet was getting old so I replaced it with the Shoei Qwest. I thought the Icon fit well but the Shoei fits so much better. The Icon was an XL so I purchased the same size and the fit is perfect. The shield super clear with no distortion at all. The shield has multiple positions so I can leave it cracked open open a little when its very hot. With the shield closed it is very quiet. I am very pleased with this purchase.
