I love it
I took a big chance buying this online because none of the dealers around me carry Shoei where I could try one on. I opened the box very carefully just in case I had to send it back, but it definitely will not be going back. According to the size chart I should have bought a large, but I own several helmets and I've always taken a XL, and sometimes those are even a little tight, so I ordered the XL and it fits snug but it's very comfortable. I did have to get the thinner cheek pieces from the Shoei website, but I have kind of a fat face so I anticipated that. Summer isn't far away and I can't wait to use it Edit: I finally got a chance to use the helmet on some atv trails in northern Michigan and the helmet exceeded my expectations by a long shot. Even tho it was warm out and I was only wearing a tee shirt, my head was never hot even when I had the visor down. I started out a little tight, but pretty quickly that went away and I rode for 2 days and I was very comfortable the whole time. One thing that did surprise me, in a good way, was when the visor was down I got no wind in the helmet, which every full face helmet I've ever had let some air in, so that was a very pleasant surprise. The fastest I went was about 50, so maybe at highway speeds you may get some, but I bought it for my quad, so for me it's perfect. The money doesn't seem so bad when what you buy gives you exactly what you want. ... show more

Shoei Hornet for the Win
Size: XX-Large Color: White
I needed to replace my 18 year-old Arai XD, and they no longer make that Helmet variant in a double XL Shoei helmets have never fit my head correctly, but I had read that they were using different size shells so I thought I would give it a try since I didn’t have another alternative. My initial impression was that it was a little snug, especially in the area where Shoei helmets have given me trouble in the past, but I thought I would give it a few more rides and a few hundred more miles before I decided one way or the other. I’m happy to say that it broke well and I can wear it all day long just like I could one of my Arai helmets awesome job, Shoei! ... show more

Just buy it
Size: Large Color: White
After a ton of research and reading reviews I finally ordered this helmet. I am coming from a scorpion 950 adv helmet and this is everything I was hoping for. I trusted the measurements listed and it worked out for me. Once the helmet is on I can just slightly move it to adjust for glasses and strapped it. I tested it out first thing on the highway and noticed right away that wind sound was cut down dramatically and buffeting was almost gone. I tried it first with all vents closed then opened them one by one to feel the difference. Once the shield was down and all vents open I could actually feel the air flowing. The helmet is much nicer in person compared to pictures. It took a little playing to figure out what direction everything had to be in for the vents to be open and closed. People really took notice to it as well. For some reason people started looking and waving at me. I think the bright white is much more noticeable. I don’t have a lot of experience with different models but if you are considering this one just do it. It was a huge upgrade for me. ... show more

Very comfortable helmet.
Size: X-Large Color: White
Fit is spot on for me I only use shoei helmets because of the fit and quality and for me they are the most comfortable.. The only thing I don't like is the color options are very limited. I've used this helmet for over 1500 miles and I don't really have any complaints. quiet for the style and the visor doesn't catch wind to much have used from 0 to 75mph for longer highway travel remove the visor because it will take a toll on you unless you have a windscreen you can get behind. The price is a little high. Ventilation is okay for 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Visibility is great. ... show more

Very good helmet
Size: Medium Color: White
This helmet was a bit tight at first (this is actually a correct 'sizing' to my head) - but it has loosened a little from on / off cycles and simply wearing and sweating in it (I know..... GROSS right!?). I like the visor feature in case I am riding into the setting sun. As far as head-whip (visor acting as a 'sail' at higher speeds) - I have not experienced this. There is a little 'grabbing' of air that the visor does at 50 mph but it is minimal thanks to the louvers in the bill. The cooling effect (air flow over my dome) at speed in our hot Arizona summer days is minimal. It is better than nothing, but you are still pretty hot. The wind screen is easy to operate while riding. The multi-position ratchet keeps things where you want them to be. I sure appreciated having the screen over my face when a big juicy bug hit me at approx. 50 mph. Without it - I probably would have a mark on my face, or maybe have crashed. ... show more

Nice helmet

Sizing
Size: X-Large Color: Matte Black
Watch it!!!!!! I give the helmet, shield, and visor 5 stars. But. Sizing is way off. My RF-SR is in an XL. It has a very light perfect fit. I had to send my XL Hornet-2 back to get a 2XL to get the exact same fit. Good luck. Shoei's are some of the elite safest helmet's on the market. I just wish they would get their sizing more consistent. ... show more
