Shoei Qwest Helmet

www.revzilla.co... Available September 17, 2010, the highly-anticipated Shoei Qwest Helmet is the long-distance touring version of the RF1100. It is built to compete head-to-head with the Arai RX-Q Helmet. With its redesigned ventilation configuration, the Qwest is constructed to flow air in an upright riding position over long distances. The new venting scheme also reduces helmet noise by 1.2 dB at highway speed. This is sure to be another knockout product from Shoei.

Over a two year use period, I can say that the Qwest has been a solid choice and a good value for the price. I do quite a bit of riding in mountain twisties that are very bumpy and this helmet gives me comfort in the fact that it is solid yet light, has great ventilation, just enough noise levels, and great visibility.
