Sports Waterproof Helmet
Shoei RF1100
This new Shoei RF1100 is chock full of new innovations, and it is comfortable to wear.
The shoei RF1100 helmet has been built from scratch. Using the latest technology available and customer input, the Shoei rf-1100 helmet is now one of the best sport-touring helmets on the market.
One unique feature that makes the shoei RF1100 helmet stand out is the distinctive designed face shield. The shield is made to be wider and taller. It has a spring action base plate that pulls the shield back to the window beading. It ensures that a wind and waterproof seal is in place.
The shell of the shoei rf-1100 helmet has several useful features. The entire inside lining can be removed for washing. The design allows comfort for those who wear eyeglasses. The outside shell is made of fiber materials with elastic organic fibers making the helmet ultra lightweight. The helmet comes in several different sizes for the convenience of the motorcycle rider.
The ventilation system on the shoei rf-1100 helmet is a wind tunnel system.
One of the newest innovations for this helmet is the new DOT and Snell M2010-approved shell made of Fiberglas Reinforced Plastic, or FRP, that uses some form of reinforcing fabric fiber, like Kevlar or carbon fiber, which greatly enhances the strength of the fiberglass, allowing for a stronger, lighter, thinner shell.
The RF1100 is made in five shell sizes so that it is a more optimally engineered system for every size of head, and it should fit properly for almost everyone from sizes XXS through XXXL. Most other manufacturers use only 2 or 3 shell sizes, and they make up the difference with various thicknesses of EPS Styrofoam and soft interior padding. That means that the helmet has a less precise fit, and adds to buffeting.
It features an integrated spoiler that is supposed to reduce lift, therefore making it more comfortable at speed.
First is the new Quick Release Self-Adjusting base plate system that is spring loaded so that when you put the optically pure, three-dimensionally molded Lexan (not extruded plastic) face shield down, it forces the shield against a rubber gasket, to give a tight weatherproof seal. And that seal helps make the Shoei helmet very quiet, too. The shield area is also taller and wider than on previous models, so you have better sightlines up and down, and no obstruction to your peripheral vision. The new base plate system means that the shield will never get out of alignment or need adjustments, and you can change the shield on the side of the road in seconds, and without any tools.
Shoei was the first helmet maker to have its own wind tunnel. It’s used to shape the outside of the helmet for optimum aerodynamic flow, hence that little spoiler on the back. But they also use it to optimize airflow into and around the helmet, and back out again. There are 6 vents to help the warm air escape. The airflow through the helmet is palpable, even on the warmest days. I didn’t have any problems with the shield fogging either. This new model handles the airflow much better than the older Shoei model I have.
Shoei varies the density of their interior foam padding. Firmer foam density goes up against the interior of the EPS liner and the outer hard shell, and that makes for a more stable helmet. Shoei also forms the foam 3-dimensionally so it conforms to a rider’s cheek and neck area. It gives you that wrap-around feel so the helmet fits properly. It takes almost a week to make Shoei’s liner system. The cheek pads and center liner are soft on the skin, as is the integrated neck liner, and they are easily removable and washable, and designed to hold up well over time. The ear pockets have recesses for the installation of speakers.
If you want the reassurance of a well fitted helmet the Shoei RF1100 is for you. Shoei offers five different shell sizes for the RF1100 offering helmet fits from XXS to XXXL.The RF1100 comes in a wide variety of fabulous designs with enticing names such as Conquerer, Diabolic, Enigma, Firestrike and Warload; as well as the usual range of solid colors.
The Shoei RF1100 is a quality helmet with an excellent fit and finish with a sturdy interior. It is one of the quietest and most comfortable helmets offering the following:-
- complete redesign replacing the popular RF1000 with protection paramount
- one of the first road helmets to achieve the new Snell M2010 standard
- Shoei’s proprietary AIM+ shell utilizes a composite of fiberglass and organic fiber for a light tough shell
