also be used with goggles without removing the visor. It’s
a great feature.
While wind noise, at just over 100 decibels isn’t too
bad, the lack of wind flow through the helmet is. The
vents feel cheap and small, there’s plenty of ventilation
channels inside the helmet but air just doesn’t get
in there. It’s the most
disappointing feature of the helmet.
As you’d expect with a Shoei helmet the safety features
are some of the best, quick release cheek pads and wide
chin strap.
Despite the few issues with the Shoei Helmet it is one
that all adventure riders should consider.
The Shoei Hornet comes in most sizes and with
numerous colour designs. The Shoei Hornet is available
from most helmet retailers.
