·I went to the local Cycle Gear shop yesterday looking for a helmet. I presently own a Arai Corsair that has seen better days. I need a helmet ASAP. I tried the new corsair and it is so much better than my old arai which was made in 2000. Better material and fit and finish. Of course the price was outrageous - $630. The shop owner had me look at the new X-11 from Shoei. I was impressed. Much lighter than the Arai and fit was very similar to the Arai as well.
I will not ride the bike until I get a new helmet. I read the threads on "What brand of helmet do you own". Interesting reading. What concerned me about the Shoei was how many people commented on "hotspots" they were getting. I did not know if this was for the new X-11 or just the older style Shoei. I am buying a helmet TODAY!!!! Any opinions please on the new X-11. Please.....
Also anybody have the Alpinestars T-stunt airflow jacket? I really like the looks of it and it seems to give good airflow. The summer is upon us in Orlando and it is getting hotter each day. I do not have a summer jacket that provides good ventilation. Any opinions on this jacket would also be helpful.
Thanks.......
