Shoei Multitec - White

Bought this just before I went touring the Alps - after 3000 miles this was amazingly quiet (far better than the Raid 2) - I didn't wear earplugs the whole time, even on fast runs. The additional smoke visor was a bonus as well as the polish and cleaner. Being able to flip lid or visor stopped me from frying; much better in cities than a full (closed) face helmet.

Great helmet and comfortable to wear but steams up very easily. Usually have to leave the visor open to ventilate properly. Would look around at other helmets before purchasing.

This is the second Multitec I've bought, the first being written off saving my head recently. It fits even better and the chinstrap clip, which kept coming undone on the first, has been replaced with a popper which works, so this one's an improvement. The visor also seems to work more smoothly, too. I'm mainly a commuter, and being able to flip up the lid at traffic lights is fantastic in hot weather, or any time. It also works fine at (ah-hem) higher speeds. That plus the reaction you get from car drivers who see a hi-vis and police-style helmet and - for a brief moment - pay you extra attention and give you extra room! Brilliant helmet.
