This is an objectively great helmet, typical for Shoei, but it lacks two super-nice-to-have features: ratchet clasp (versus the standard double D-ring) and drop down sun shades. If those don't matter to you and you have a Shoei-shaped head then you'll likely be really happy with this.

BTW always keep your gear receipts, put them in a file with your bike title.. If you ever have to make an insurance claim, you can be reimbursed.

Having been in two motorcycle accidents myself, I can't stress enough how crucial it is to invest in a good-quality helmet.

While you don't necessarily need to splurge on a $400 Shoei or Arai helmet, it's essential to choose a reputable source. Helmets from less reliable sources may have a mere "DOT" label printed on them without meeting the necessary safety standards.

Consider the following points:

Source Matters: Opt for helmets from well-known and trustworthy brands or authorized dealers. These helmets undergo rigorous testing and adhere to safety standards.
Certifications: Look for helmets with certifications. The Snell certification is the gold standard for motorcycle helmets, but it's not mandatory. Personally, I recommend helmets with at least an ECE certification, which ensures they meet higher safety standards beyond the basic DOT requirements.

Remember, your helmet is your primary defense against head injuries, so choose wisely. Ride safe out there! 🏍️🔒

True, but the helmet wouldn't be Snell rated with those features. This is a solid deal, shame I got my new Shoei a few months ago.

Stupid question - how does a $400 helmet any better than the $60 ones on Amazon?

More comfortable fit. Less wind noise on highway.

Personally I prefer d ring closure. Ratchet ones are very uncomfortable for me.
