Quick question howndid you get thisbhelmet i live in the states and i cant find a way for european stores to ship me one because shoei said not to lol anyway around that i really want this helmet
The Glamster to me is the loudest helmet I’ve ever owned. Wind rushes up just below the ears. I never used ear plugs for short rides in town but with the Glamster I have to wear them every single ride. It’s a real shame because I love the way it looks and feels. My RF1200 blows the Glamster out of the water when it comes to wind management. Heck, even my Bell Bullitt was quieter than the Glamster.
Paul Valas I was hoping this wasn't the case, I love the style of both this and the bullit, however I was going to get a glamster hoping they would be much quieter, as I have the bullit and its terrible. Doesn't seem as though I'll bother wasting my money now. I also love the Simpson ghost bandit but have heard reports of those being noisy also.
@@adventuringourway4426 I sold the Glamster and got two helmets. A Shoei RSFR and the Nexx XG100R. The Shoei is my “serious” helmet and the Nexx my poser helmet. The Nexx isn’t much quieter than the Glamster but I realized that air was coming up at the back of my neck. Wearing a scarf to block that wind made the Nexx extremely quiet. I can hear my engine with stock pipes at 70mph. All that being said, it’s quite personal. Depending how you are built, how broad your shoulders are, thickness of neck, body position etc the helmet might just be very different for you. Some have said the Glamster is decent. One thing about the Glamster, is it is extremely comfortable. Probably the most comfortable helmet I’ve worn.
About the matt black getting dirty: I own the Ex-Zero in matt black an greasy fingers and insect are easy to remove. Just use water and cloth or kitchen tissue. Will come down easily and leave no marks. Clever surface design. 👍
Update on the Glamster? Going to throw my Bell Bullitt in the trash. Already getting loose after less than a season and today the face shield popped open at 140kmh (open empty road btw).
Dude, when are you coming back?! Yours was a welcome change from normal moto videos in which everyone seems to shout. At least, give us an update on what you thought about the Glamster.
Good videos man! Seems we're pretty similar with moto style. I myself have a problem of collecting retro style helmets. I've got the Bullitt and Gringo S. Both are lacking certain things for me in comfort and safety. I'm currently researching the Shoei and Arai offerings too. Looking forward to your review video!
I have this helmet .. the black clip on the visor is a Visual distraction when your riding with the visor up.. there are also some reflection issues from the edge when the visors down
It looks good. The understated branding is stylish. The name sounds like it was created via a series of marketing focus groups containing none of the target market. The only classic helmet I have is a Davida open face one.
Othman Kammah I have the Glamster and the Ex Zero. I use a Cardo Packtalk Bold JBL and the larger JBL drivers fit ok, but snug. I had to mount them a little bit below the cut out, but they sound great. The clip mount does not work on the Ex-Zero, so I had to use the adhesive mount. But the clip works on the Glamster.
Just ordered one from a uk site after trying the arai DT-X and RF-1200. The Glamster isnot DOT, but can’t find anywhere on the web that says it’s ECE, either. Is it a matter of not being able to test yet? Thoughts?
Cappuccino Moto ordered the Glamster from Urban Rider, received it 2 days later. Took it for a ride this morning and it is noticeably smaller (shell size) and lighter compared to my X3000, both are size medium. Not sure yet which one I prefer but I am really liking the Glamster so far.
Did you have issues shipping it out to the U.S.? I saw some sites refusing to ship them to the U.S. and Canada because they’re not DOT and ECE certified.
I actually think they could have cleaned it up some more. Definitely sleek, but I can tell it’s a modern helmet quickly. Haha. That said, I’m sure it’s top notch just like this Shoei. Probably comes down to how it fits uniquely for your head and personal preference on styling :)
Cappuccino Moto I bought both the Shoei Ex Zero and the Glamster from Urban Rider UK. Great service and if they are using DHL, delivery to Japan was within a week. They were using Royal Post for a very short time and that shipment took about 3 weeks.
Hey, Great video! Curious to know which company you were able to order this from? All the EU ones I've tried from won't ship to NA. It's very frustrating, to say the least! Let me know!
@@othmankammah382 its similar to a sticker, but i'd fear when removing, it would peel off the matte black or do something destructive. I dont mind the logo on this one :)
Those Akin gloves look awesome! Since you said size M was too big, what size glove do you measure? I measured at 19cm and are sold out in size S. I would order both the ghost and the blip if they fit correctly
@@CappuccinoMoto gotcha, I should definitely be ordering a size S then. I guess I'll email them and see if they are re-stocking sizes! (ps I'll drop your name for some credit)
@@Java_monsta thanks, but no kickback on this end :) just tell them i say "hi from the states and wish shipping was quicker during these times to receive my order of pants!" haha
Not in my experience of helmets, you can’t tell. But technically if you calculate heat absorption, the gloss would reflect sunlight (heat) more. But I’d say you couldn’t tell haha
@@CappuccinoMoto Just bought my first helmet hahaha might of been overthinking it. Ended up getting the Torc Retro matte black helmet. Thanks, for getting back to me, put me at ease, went a bit crazy after a I bought it looking at forums where as you can imagine opinion is super divided.
Yea. Everyone has their opinion. Until you actually wear both of the same helmet, you wouldn’t really know haha. I can’t even tell the difference between my white AGV x3000 and my black AGV x3000 so... what’s that tell us? Haha
@@CappuccinoMoto Glamster was way more expensive than the eliminator and also a bit heavier and bullit was not seating good on my head. I think the eliminator has a modern classic look, is very light but durable helmet. What do you think?
I wasn't really digging this helmet when compared to Arai's lol track-ready Rapide (needs me the red one) but damn does this look really good in matte black. The lower price and weight almost makes it tempting Id say Bell Eliminator would be a good helmet to add to collection next as it performs a hell of a lot better than a bell bullit, is priced good, and imo looks a bit better. Shoei ex-zero would be another good option for a more open face style
So interesting on the Eliminator ... i get people that say "it's horrible" and some like you to say try it out. That Rapide caught my eye too!!! Overall i think i picked the Glamster over the Rapide because it was a bit more sleek in the aesthetics department.
I'm gonna buy one to use it (in US). Its a certified helmet with more rigorous standards than DOT with more protection than any 1/2 or 3/4 lid out there.
It does! I picked this Glamster over the Arai though. Looked a little more retro to my eyes, but each their own! Also, if I had some extra coin I’d get that too! Haha.
@@shwasywasy i think i have 10+ plants in my apartment, just no room to cram it in behind me currently. If i do more like this, i'll have to rethink setup. (Camera and light on my bed, and using my work table backwards as a desk. Improvising :)
Great this helmet.... i think the joyce is or this Shoei or Agv...but i prefer AGV... maybe because i’ m Italian and Agv is the brand VR46 use in MotoGP
Dude I just got my "Glamster" a week ago - had to have it shipped to Michigan from London UK. Still trying to figure out how to respond if someone asks what it is.... Anyways check the Photochromatic CPB-1 visor from Shoei (that's what I planned to grab)
@@CappuccinoMoto it will vary the tint like transitions glasses depending on light conditions outside. It can get as light as the clear visor and as dark as the dark smoke
@@mrosas04024 Urban Rider. Had originally ordered through Champion Helmets to save some cash but found out after the fact they will not ship Shoei to North America
It's unfortunate that this helmet is not available in the States. I emailed Shoei after seeing some videos and they said that's it's not DOT approved... But it is ECE rated? Sucks but oh well.

Good note. Realizing that after a few uses in. It does well wiping right off. Smart tech whatever they did!
@@CappuccinoMoto Rocket science! 🚀😉
I’m between Shoei Glamster and AGV X3000… please, wich one would you get if you could only afford one?
Update on the Glamster? Going to throw my Bell Bullitt in the trash. Already getting loose after less than a season and today the face shield popped open at 140kmh (open empty road btw).
Oh gosh. I haven’t heard of that. Update on Glamster is = great helmet! More to come but essentially same enjoyment as my X3000 but different styling
The best retro helmet on the market 100%! Im getting one just not sure about the color black, mat black or black with stripes 🤔
Dude, when are you coming back?! Yours was a welcome change from normal moto videos in which everyone seems to shout. At least, give us an update on what you thought about the Glamster.
Beautiful Helmet! I have a Bell Eliminator and an AGV X3000 Superba. Winner: AGV X3000 (better noise isolation, comfier, and has a premium feel to it)
Very nice, that's good feedback as i got plenty of people asking about the Eliminator.
Good Evening, any feedback on fingerprints?
I’ve got a Shoei Glamster in gloss black.I really like it.
I was between the matte and gloss .. I want both haha
If you could only have one, Glamster or X3000?
oooooh. Hard to say :). I probably would pick AGV right now
Good videos man! Seems we're pretty similar with moto style. I myself have a problem of collecting retro style helmets. I've got the Bullitt and Gringo S. Both are lacking certain things for me in comfort and safety. I'm currently researching the Shoei and Arai offerings too. Looking forward to your review video!
pull the trigger on the Shoei or the Arai!!! :) I want to try the gringo soon!
Any news about this ? 🙂
Hi write plz size of box like 1*1*1 and weight 🦇🤙🏾
You put me onto the Akin Blip gloves! Package has been awaiting international departure since May 7th :(:(:( love from LA. Keep the videos coming bro!
I’ve been waiting for my second order since mid April ... someone’s customs is killing us!
Would love to see a video on the dmd helmets. I just picked up a dmd racer
Nice! Similar the Bell Moto 3. I actually haven’t seen much on these. Report back!
From few videos seems you are so worry about the AGV logo on the x3000. Why you dont put an AGV black logo sticker on it?
But it would still be showing a bit because there’s that clear coat layer haha. Smart idea though.
I have this helmet .. the black clip on the visor is a Visual distraction when your riding with the visor up.. there are also some reflection issues from the edge when the visors down
Curious to hear your thoughts on the Arai Rapide Neo
I'm really liking both, next lid will probably be one of these or the Bell Eliminator
i want! :) just need some bank growth, but that would complete a collection. But then i want a Hedon, DMD, and others haha.
Cappuccino Moto save for hedon!
It looks good. The understated branding is stylish. The name sounds like it was created via a series of marketing focus groups containing none of the target market. The only classic helmet I have is a Davida open face one.
Any thoughts on installing a headset with it? Is there enough room?
It looks like there's a enough room, although i dont have one handy to try it out.
Cappuccino Moto thanks for checking!!

@@MrJinkouinkei good info!!!
MrJinkouinkei yeah that’s what I found out too. Funny enough I can hear the speakers so much better than in my bullitt which has dedicated cutouts 😂

Hows d sizing compared to bullitt? Thanks
Can you try it on and let us know if it is true to size, or if you think it runs large or small?
Just wondering if you prefer the Glamster more than the X3000.
Hope to have a comparison soon, but so far they are about the same to me. AGV may be better value though.

@@jonathaninocentes3235 you and i both!!! they both are great helmets. Hard to pick, but for price AGV X3000 may win :)
Is the sizing of this helmet similar the rf 1400?
I got it to pass my motorcycle exam, large view, light, perfect, got it for 350euros (380$)
Nice pick up!!
Is this a loud helmet? Whats is the wind noise like?
It’s not bad at all. I would say it’s good with wind!
Cappuccino Moto cheers!
Did you have issues shipping it out to the U.S.? I saw some sites refusing to ship them to the U.S. and Canada because they’re not DOT and ECE certified.
I did run into a few hurdles. I’m not going to blast those companies but Shoei is communicating no US shipments so hope you have luck if you try!
Cappuccino Moto could you message us and let us know what site you used? Thanks!
Did you order this through urban rider? How was the shipping to the us? Any troubles? Looking to buy this helmet as an upgrade to my biltwell gringo.
Shoei is better than Bell and AGV! Amazing design and technology!!! I'm medium by the way :))
Size brothers!
Hi! What do you think about Arai Rapide Neo helmet and it style?
I actually think they could have cleaned it up some more. Definitely sleek, but I can tell it’s a modern helmet quickly. Haha. That said, I’m sure it’s top notch just like this Shoei. Probably comes down to how it fits uniquely for your head and personal preference on styling :)
got it for my Honda Monkey, it is comfy and if you want it more retro take the shield off, but I like it as it is
I've got a Bell Eliminator, very similar lid but no chin curtain or option to stop air flow which for the price of it isn't ideal...
:( i get mixed results on the people that own the Eliminator.
Where did you order this?
Urban rider , linked in description :)
Cappuccino Moto I bought both the Shoei Ex Zero and the Glamster from Urban Rider UK. Great service and if they are using DHL, delivery to Japan was within a week. They were using Royal Post for a very short time and that shipment took about 3 weeks.
I badly want the metallic blue/white stripe Glamster Resurrection TC-2!
That is a hot colorway!
Just wondering where you ordered you dark visor for the shoei glamster?
Thank you
I wish I ordered one... I can't find anyone who has it!
Cappuccino Moto you’re right been researching and i cant find it anywhere. Thanks for the reply anyways, hopefully they’ll come out soon!!
I like it a lot. 🤗
I would love to see them do a graphic matching my 60th anniversary Yamaha. 😍
if you got that yellow/black version, check the Hedon helmet line up ... crazy beautiful
Cappuccino Moto Thanks for the tip. 👍They really do make amazingly beautiful helmets but they are too expensive for me. 😂
Hey,
Great video! Curious to know which company you were able to order this from? All the EU ones I've tried from won't ship to NA. It's very frustrating, to say the least!
Let me know!
Try Urban Rider ?
Can you remove the SHOEI logo? Or is it painted/under the clear coat?
I think it's permanently on there ... i wouldnt want to try and pull this off.
Cappuccino Moto got it thanks!
I got a gray one. Logo is a silver reflective sticker. So it’s removable.
Roland Tubler yeah I got my matte black one after I asked and it doesn’t look removable there
@@othmankammah382 its similar to a sticker, but i'd fear when removing, it would peel off the matte black or do something destructive. I dont mind the logo on this one :)
awesome review! is the shoei logo removable? also does it have space for ear speakers?
Got feedback from others too .. doesn’t appear removable on the Matt black. And speakers will fit, but right :)

@@CappuccinoMoto is it not removable with a heater?
I wish Shoei would bring the “Ex Zero” to the states.
