Shoei Multitec Helmet, October 9, 2008
Bought this through Amazon 3 months ago, and am very pleased with its performance. No idea how the flip-up face piece will do in a bad fall (thank you very much), but the improvements over full-face helmets I have owned make it worth the price. Being able to keep my glasses on when donning/removing the helmet and being able to lift the faceplate while stopped in hot Florida traffic are both a plus. The helmet's fit is excellent (Size M, 7 1/8-7 1/4), the operation of the faceplate is easy wearing heavy gloves, and the finish is typical Shoei - superb. The selectable open/closed nose and temple vents work as advertised and, when open, flow enough air over the faceplate to keep it from fogging on cold mornings. The only negative I can find is noise: the helmet is noiser than my last Arai full-face, and is noticeable enough on long trips hat I've started using earplugs while riding. Regardless, I highly recommend this to someone who's more comfortable with a full-face helmet.

Great Helmet, December 21, 2010
This is a great helmet. I have had mine for almost 2 years now with no complaints. I really like that it has slots for glasses. Most helmets do not take that into consideration and Shoei did. I live in West Texas and was worried that it would be too hot in the summer, boy was I wrong. It moves the air quite well. It might be heavier than some other modular helmets, however the quality is there. It is a little noisier than a full face helmet. That is a trade off I was willing to make. You can't go wrong with this helmet.

The BEST helmet I have ever owned!!!, June 5, 2010
Shoei helmets are one of the best helmets you can get. I have no complains, the quality of this product is outstanding! Here are some of the things I love of my Shoei helmet: > It comes with a kind of cover to install under the chin. This is great to help suppressing the noise which wind produces on the helmet. I even hardly hear the engine sound! Also the helmet design itself reduces enormously the wind noise. > It has enough inner room for the "legs" of sunglasses (how's the name for that thing btw?). Wear whatever sunglasses style you like, it wont be never uncomfortable on this helmet! > The vent pads really works! Once they're open you can feel the wind coming thru your head! > The helmet is really lightweight. It feels VERY comfortable! > This Multitec version comes with flip-up front to become an open helmet. I love this feature, especially when I stop or when I need to talk to someone; I open it and I feel "free". Also, the front goes up and closes up very easily, even when wearing gloves. WARNING, never ride with the front opened!!! > My Suzuky GS 500 is black, so I bought my Shoei helmet black as well. It looks gorgeous! :-) I recommend highly this product, it is really FANTASTIC!!! A+++++
