Used and Abused | Shoei RF-1100 Helmet

Shoei

My face is my moneymaker so I can’t risk any damage to it for fear of bankruptcy (peep at my pic and you’ll know I’m joking).

Shoei helmets may be better known for protecting racers’ heads than the average Joe cruising down the highway, but that’s where the different lines of helmets come into play.

The RF-1100 is a full-face helmet that was designed specifically for the street rider and costs about $462. It has three intake vents to bring fresh air in and six exhaust ports for shoveling it back out. Contact wearers will rejoice thanks to the front chin vent that channels air up and along the inside of the windscreen and not directly in your eyes. With all the vents open, it flows air fast and cools your head quickly. With all the vents closed, it’s super quiet with no unwanted leaks. World champions trust the safety of a Shoei and its Snell 2010 certified. It’s available in fancy colors and designs but of course I went for the simple matte black. Now my pretty face will always be safe. Ha! Check them out for yourself at shoei-helmets.com.
