I'll admit it. I've been known to compromise on some gear in order to achieve the same goal and to save a few bucks. Premium helmets cost a grip of cash, and your discretionary income varies on a lot of things. I get it. You'll get no judgment from me. Shoei is a premium helmet that commands premium pricing. What you get in return for those hard earned dollars is a fit and finish that is unparalleled (except for Arai perhaps), ventilation that works, and a helmet that is built to last. My Shoei NeoTec is entering its 7th year of service and is as solid as the day I bought it. After a couple of months and a thousand miles in the Hornet X2, I have no doubt that this helmet will stand the test of time. It is very similar to the NeoTec and other helmets in the Shoei line in fit, finish, and function. It just works. Your nugget is arguably the most important thing you protect while riding. If you have the means to get one, it'll be worth every penny should you ever have to put it to the test. If you don't, the comfort and build quality alone will be enough to warrant the price of entry.

I guess the most important thing about helmet comfort is finding one that fit. I wasn't in the market for a new helmet but when I tried this on I was shocked at how comfortable it was, and I bought it. The other benefits I've noticed is it's a LOT more aerodynamic at speed (I'm using it for some dual sport riding as well) than the other helmets I have, keeping the buffeting to a noticeable minimum, and the wind doesn't catch the visor and pull your head up. While it is a quiet helmet, I would like to see a bit more noise protection but none of my helmets are better so I guess that's the norm. Overall I couldn't be more impressed with this helmet.

The new pads made my old helmet comfortable to wear again and fit properly plus the new pads fit perfectly in place just like the OEM pads did. Thanks

Great helmet for the dirt. Visor catches a lot of wind at highway speeds.
