Looks heavy..??
Wow, someone posting up a good helmet for once. That thing looks sick.
Shoei make SICK helmets!!! Very nice i like 
Theres alot of other helmets that weigh around that or more that are DOT I have a rockgardn blacklight l/xl and its 1340g.

Sick goggles. I just picked up some LT. edition Ryan Villopoto models.
I just got one, used it today and last weekend and am very happy with it. It's heavier than my D2, but my D2's foam separated from the shell in a pretty minor impact. You don't notice the extra weight when riding. The quality is better than anything else I've seen, including the Fox V3 and TLD SE2.
If you happen to have a big head (XL and XXL only), they're $310 here:

I love my shoei. Best helmet on the market.
Cool to see a real helmet on here.
What size do you have?
How does it fit? Big? / Small?
Is it made for thin faced people or big people?

The sizing i already mentioned before is a Small 55-56cm and i can't realy tell if it's fit's big or small but it's amazingly comfortable.The helmet is for all faces since the inner liner is a bit thicker than most helmet liners.
The Shoei comes with 5 shell sizes while other brands come with 3 shell sizes.

i LOVE my bell moto 8. most comfortable helmet ive worn. and it actually has more ventilation than my D2 did. plus it looks badass
How does that emergency system work? Are people at events being trained or taught about these things? I think its a great idea if it gets implemented right.
I really like the helmet and the emergency system. Those things reminded me of another system out there that assists getting the helmet off in a crash. I don't think that it has been posted up yet, but it seems to be a great idea.

It would be cool to see these things get popular enough that resorts train EMTs how to use them and supply them with the equipment.

i just bought a fox rampage on pricepoint. i'm stoked for it to show up, i hope it's better than my old-ass 661, but anyone know anything about it? it's supposed to be light and strong, plus cool matte finish 
Arkayne...GIF this please!Me wearing the helmet with my Leatt Brace,it works great with out any problems
I am glad to see more peeps running a ANSI/DOT helmets and leatt braces.
visibility questions:
- Can the visor go up any more?
- If you aren't wearing goggles, how much of the helmet brow can you see?
thanks!
the specs on that helmet look great!

-Yes the visor can go up more but the visor position where it's now at,is good.
-None the eye port is pretty wide,allot wider view than all the helmets in the past i head worn.The visibility on the Shoei helmets are great,no complaining about it.
Thanks for the info!
How is the ventilation. My previous moto helmet had no ventilation and that is what I like about the TLD SE hype or not.
I haven't tested it on the track but from what from what i heard the ventilation is pretty sweet on this helmet.It has 5 intake vents and 7 exhaust vents to keep your'e head cool.All the vents are coverd with a stainless steel mesh from keeping dirt/roost entering the helmet.
The helmet is also designed that it still ventilates on the lower MX & off road riding speeds.I can also remove the large exit vent in the back so i could clean the helmet from the inside with a litle bit of water to maintain the helmet

I purchased a new Rockgardn helmet to replace my battered D2 and picked up a new Leatt Club for good measure. Moto helmets including TL, Shoei, Bell & est. fit me much better than the likes of D2-3, est. but they seem massive when compared to the thin/light mtb lids
..I dont ride moto so while trying on the new stuff I feel like a DH bobble head.
Im sure during my first run a Windrock this spring all will be forgotten .as the trail side becomes a blur.

I have never had any fatigue problems due to the weight of my helmet (all shuttle or lift riding of course).
Some of the nice features the helmet has to offer
Cheeck pad venting
Keeps your'e cheeks cool in a hot day
New shell shape due to it's AIM+ material,back end looks sick
3D Max-Dry liner
It can absorb water 10x it's weight and it aborbs/dissapating sweat twice as fast as other conventional helmet liners.
Emergency Quick Release System(EQRS)
Mechanical tabs that releases the cheeck pads out of the helmet when it's pulled out by the Medical staff,for easy removal of the helmet after a serious crash.
Lower Exit vent
It can be removed so you can clean the helmet from the inside with a litle bit of water to maintain it.
Dual Layer EPS liner
Shoei can fine tune the stiffness of the inner EPS liner based on the size of the helmet.Smaller sized helmets come with a softer inner EPS liner and larger sized helmets comes with a stiffer inner EPS liner.
Sleek mouthpiece
Backed by a AIM+ brace,the mesh screen helps prevent objects from entering the mouthpiece
Other things are the flexible Visor and plastic screws for easy break away,so that the visor can shear of in a big crash.
What is AIM+:
AIM+ stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus witch combines fiberglass with organic fibers that are so strong they can only be cut with a laser. The end result is a stronger, lighter shell that will absorb and distribute the force of an impact safely and efficiently.This shell was created by Shoei to be the strongest, lightest, helmet shell on the market today,so you get the best of both worlds with the shell's construction

In no small part of this thread I just ordered one of these for myself.
Shoei's are sick helmets was my first choice until I got a 09 blowout deal on this my 2nd choice, now my first, the 10s are the same different graphics [my Airoh Stelt].
The ventilation while riding is as good as any MTB Dh Helmet, gets a bit hot walking in it, but the air flow and sweat removal in motion is awesome, biggest plus is weight for protection, 1000grams flat mines a large!
Uses a similar internal systems and the EPS is all channeled for extra venting, dosen't have the pull tabs but check pad removal is similar if ya know what ya doing, probably be nice if had the Shoei and TLD D3 instructions for medics on the inside of the visor, but being a Euro std Helmet too many different languages I guess!
Still @ 1000grams it doesn't even register as weight when riding, plus like the S-VFW it fits with my Leatt awesome, again not even an issue, I had some issues with my Remedy and looking far enough on the downs not so with this, something to be said with a Moto Helmet company that is at the leading edge with Helmet tech and other protections systems and neck braces!
Also great to see more people setting up with real helmets.
Very popular Helmet in MX 1 & 2 GPs now.
