Shoei for me makes the best ....I ordered a Nolan Trilogy and it was one of the loudest helmets I have owned I packed it and put it on EBay the next day.

Wow I didn't know Shoei ditched the D rings for a ratchet strap on the GT Air II ...... Not a fan of that design at all !

Not many helmets fit round shape head. I chose Arai Quantum X.

This makes a huge difference in wind not coming into your helmet. Also want something that would allow speakers and bluetooth connectivity. Thanks.

16 pages is threads with full face helmet in the tile. Many is which are still ongoing!

For those that wear full face helmets, consider equipping them with the Simpson Eject Helmet Removal System. Full face helmets provide more protection than open face helmets but they also pose some special issues with EMT first responders. You don't want an EMT tugging and yanking on your snug fitting helmet to remove it and risk spinal cord injury. The Eject system uses a small plastic air bag that when inflated slowly unfolds and expands gently pushing your helmet off in an emergency. I have them in my bike helmets and race car helmets. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sim-890-01-30

My .02 - Buy the helmet in person as sizing and shaping is different. I love my Arai but have had luck with SHoei as well. To me weight is a concideration as Bells tend to run heavy IMO. Also, I prefer a Snell rated helmet.

I been using a Shoei Neotec modular for the last two years. I am an easy fit, medium size head. The Shoei is the best helmet I've used and I highly recommend it. The modular aspect comes in handy in any number of situations.
