How does that work? Shoei and Arai both make all types of head shape helmets?

So you are between the Shoei model and Arai model you tried on.

RF1100/1000 is a round, X12/11 is a long oval
Not sure how the lineup is for Arai, but I know they run the full spectrum too.

I realize that they now make shells for 'both' head shapes, so I'm referring to the old traditional shell shapes; oval vs. round.

A few pictures. I added a little reflective tape to it, because I hate having a plain, black helmet these days. Visibility is a good thing.

Which brings me to another 'review.' StreetGlo reflective tape is pretty good, where reflectivity is concerned, but it's far too thin and deforms too much, when you apply it. You simply cannot lay it down, then peel it up to adjust it. I ended up throwing out half of the kit because of this.

Here you can clearly see the Pin Lock Visor. It certainly works as advertised, but it would be nice to have a visor without one, for night riding.



The lever for the sun visor. Very easy to use, even when riding and wearing gloves.



The sun visor. It's quite thin and light, so I wouldn't recommend riding with only it down.







The chin vent. It doesn't flow a lot of air, from my point of view, but it isn't exactly needed to help keep the visor fog free anyway.



Damned if I know how this thing flows air past the sun visor, when it's retracted, but it sure as hell does.
