You may not agree but quite a good, if long article.

First requirement is a proper fit

I can appreciate his conclusions, I have a couple of RX7's which are my preference for protection, but for practical use have J-cruise 2 with built in Sena's for my Wife & I to use for touring.

Sounds to me like the author has bought the marketing bollox from the two obvious players.

What is the best helmet ?

The one recommended by some unknown bod on UKGSer, with a totally differently shaped and sized head to yours. Obviously.

Wow, I never thought of that !!!
I would have thought that the most important thing was the new helmet matched the panniers that blended seamlessly with your new steed of awesomeness !

Did you know that Shoei make different shaped helmets for different shaped heads.

The Asian head shape more round than the western oval shape. Compromises are possible to a degree with the cushions nut not perfect.

Also , Shoei prohibit exports between markets.

Useless fact if the day ?

They do indeed.
Not that I could tell much difference .I’ve bought a couple of Shoeis in Japan in the early 2000s and they fitted me fine.About half the price of the same model in UK.

It is. After all, what’s a little physical discomfort if it helps us look better?

Best helmet:

So, it’s the one , like, with the best coloured stickers , innit brov !
(Or the one that the boss at the takeaway place you got a job at gives you, so you can ride one of his Awsum peds to deliver crap takeaway food to some chav too lazy to get off their fat arse)…

And that half you managed to lose through ‘expenses’ no doubt
