    I’ve been riding since ‘92.
    I’ve never had a helmet fit better.
    I absolutely love my Airflite

    You're absolutely right about it all. It's a great looking helmet, and yet it's practical and wears well for the most part. The integrated sun visor is a great feature too. Thanks for a very helpful review.

    Dude, awesome review. I literally ordered the Helmet and RST Silver shield before I watched your video and was about to cancel my order because I was afraid to commit to it. The way you explained it was so straight forward it allowed me to rest easy and jump in. Now I'm really excited. You got a subscriber.

    Great review man! I have the exact same helmet set up the exact same way. My main complaint with the helmet was air flow, never even realized it had settings until seeing your review and I've been wearing it for about a year lol. Ive got it opened all the way up now so maybe that complaint will go away!

    I have own shoie rf 1200 (3) but when this came out I got the spitfire and I have loved this helmet ever since because it's so unique and I get a lot of looks which I like. I am actually getting another helmet the doodle airflite and buying a blue visor for it. I have a x3 insta360 on the way and I want to stand out and everything u said about the helmet is right it looks cool but it has terrible wind noise when on the freeway compared to most mid level helmets

  • @evanspascuale3589
    @evanspascuale3589 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great vid, Ihave one of this Icon in green and white. I think you missed one of the most important features IMHO, very aerodinamic, you almost do not feel the pressure of the air when you turn your head over your shoulders at high speed, also the very quiet, not need tonuse ear plugs. What I do not like is a pain when you take off your head, I have to change to one size plus because the narrow design of the bottom by the neck , I feel this helmet hate my ears. Anyways the look is a killer and a lot of premium features for this price. Thank you

    My biggest concern with a helmet is safety that helmet I would never purchase because it’s only dot approved because of that drop down visor. if your going fast on freeways this helmet is not going to protect at a high speed impact. Looks of a helmet are not what’s important.

  • @1pandamonium818
    @1pandamonium818 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review, but how is the wind noise level? I use a Sena in several helmets and cannot hear anything in a couple of them. I love the look of the Airflite, but would like to know if I can hear my music or phone calls before I buy it. I subbed because you gave a detailed honest review. Keep up the good work.

    • @grey_tracer5283
      @grey_tracer5283 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Since I'm a beginner rider and had no other helmet before - no comparison - I can't really comment on wether It's good or bad. For me, the wind noise isn't bad and totally bearable. I used a Sena last time to comunicate with my driving instructor, no problems of understanding.

    I ordered the helmet online and, even though the fit is very comfortable, I'm having real difficulties when putting it on. The hole is quite tight for my head and I have to squeeze it really hard. But, as I said, the fit is very comfortable.

    I've been a rider since the 70's. A few helmets and had to do with whatever fit my long oval head. Lot's of hotspots. Also, I was raised when you didn't wear a helmet except for the weather and those were the old bubbles. Long story even longer, as I got older and making significant rides to Sturgis, Daytona etc., I got more concerned about long rides and helmets. Would never expect then how much they have advanced over the years. 66 now and just have a hobby of restoring vintage honda's (finally got over the Harley Hype...Ha). LIke I said, I've been through some expensive helmets and some cheap helmets and they all had one thing in common. They didn't fit. This one does and I' completely trust it. Well built and I'm very happy. It was a mid level/upper low level cost (250) but money well spent. Good venting and love the shield. Added blue tooth/matching color vizor and air foil. VERY COOL
