New Helmet - RF1400

[36654]

Finally - I noticed the RF1400 boasts a central locking mechanism.
Is that similar to the one on the X-14 - the one that I keep accidentally locking and then have trouble opening it with my gloves on?

A Doo-hickey at the front?  Yes, it has one.

Almost as annoying to open as the Arai Corsair-X latch (at the side) is to open........

BTW - I can't speak to the X-14.  But, RF-1400 shield is beefy thick with nicely rounded edges.  While I always like Shoei shields, the RF-1400 shield is a real step up.
