New Helmet - RF1400

[36654]

Pyrrho,

I've ridden many miles with Shoei and HJC shields opened to the first detent. In the humid summer weather of Pennsylvania, you really need that air, and I've never had the shield move.

Another very good point and nothing to do with fogging. Opened just a bit means you can get some breeze without getting dust in your eye. In Houston I will take all the breeze I can get and sometimes a crack is all the dusty conditions will allow.

Perhaps it's just age, but as I get older, I find I need more air moving thru the helmet, especially in slow-moving traffic conditions. Last year, I took an intermediate rider course which included a lot of waiting in line for my runs at the exercises. Several minutes of waiting in line behind 10 or 15 idling 1200~1500cc bikes made me really regret wearing a full-face helmet. Yes, there is a time and place for modular helmets
