The Quest is replacing 2 RF 1000's in my fleet and I love it ! I ride a VStrom so the helmets upright useage design is perfect . The helmets fit is excellent and sizing is true with my RF's . I can tell a field of view improvement over my previous Shoei and Arai helmets . The shield is awesome on this lid also , action is much improved and it seals waaay better adding to the superb quietness ! While I don't think it flows more air than the RF its vents are definately easier to operate . Overall the Quest delivers on all accounts , now whats the best way to care for this flat black ?
Yes, I recommend this product.

I was using Shoei Raid during the last years. This new Qwest helmet is similar with usefull additions - it is more quiet and has wider visor. Additionally "the ventilation system" is better.

This is a very comfortable helmet. I am 65 and rounder than I used to be. Other helmets I tried were too tight and this one fits me very well. It is light and offers good ventilation. I took it on a 550 mile ride last weekend and my neck and shoulders felt fine Monday morning.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Looks okay, feels good. My head is 7 5/8" and I bought a Large. I have no windshield on my cruiser.
Pros: Very rigid construction. Light by my standards. When I close my chin vent and lock the visor my ride is very quiet, even at around 80mph. Head checks are still easy to do at highway speeds with no windshield. Seems to cool the top of my head very well at around 55mph with all vents open. I found a little baggy in the box with a breath deflector and chin curtain.
Cons: Air gets in under my chin at speeds over 60mph and lifts the helmet quite a bit (I just hunker down and tuck in my chin to avoid this discomfort). At about 80mph with no windshield my head begins to vibrate from wind buffeting. With the chin vent closed and visor locked the visor fogs up QUICKLY. Visor lift tab only on the left make it difficult to lift the visor at a stop light with my right hand to deal with fogging. No microfiber wipe included for the visor.
I find myself opening and closing my visor way too much to get rid of the fog. This is the most annoying thing for me to deal with when I ride.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great vision up, down, left, right, Weight light enought to not bother my 3 fused neck vertibrae- important to me. Snug yet not restrictive fit. Lots of extra room around ears for earplugs or other stuff.
Only rode with the qwest 4 times, ~300 miles total, so my experimentation is not complete. Been riding with 3/4 helmet for past 5 years but need to get back to a fullface. These are my initial observations.
If below 60F,it will fog up no matter what combination is tried with the vents when the shield is closed. Many have mentioned the fog issue. Pinlock shield is in my near future.
I have a fully exposed W650 and a NT700 with large windshield.
Air flow across my head/helmet on the w650 is straight on where the windshield on the NT700 causes some upward component of air flow as it passes over my head/helmet. With the Qwest shield closed and locked, the air flow around my face seem noticable better with straight on air flow on the fully exposed W650 at my typical commute speeds (45-60mph). Even with the fairing windshield lowered on the NT700 to the lowest point, helmet internal airflow still feels significantly lower on the NT700 at same speeds on the W650. I'm a little concerned if the helmet will become to stuffy and hot for me on the NT700 when temps get >70F.
Like I say, lots of experimentation left to try by changing earplugs, motorcycle windshield position, vents and shield position on the Qwest. Just have to work it out.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I researched helmets for quite a while before settling on the Qwest. I wanted a topline helmet but at a reasonable price. I also waanted a helmet that was well reviewed by SHARP (British testing) as well as the usual DOT and Snell. The Qwest was all that. Very comfortable and relatively quiet, Just wish that it came standard with the Pinlock lense.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought a shoei full face helmet 10 years ago and had to bring it back because of the head pain after riding only an hour. I bought a HJC helmet. No problems afterwards. However, I really like the Shoei Quest helmet and want to try it. I'm nervous tho. From your video, it states the quest is more round now. I have no idea the shape of my head. The only thing I know is that my forehead protrudes out more and that seems to be the issue when fitting a helmet. Please help! My head measures just under 22" in diameter. I wear a medium HJC fullface, however I do have some movement. All my other helmets are medium as well.

Answer: 
It is impossible to answer your question completely, but this info might help. Most people have a 'neutral' head, which means more or less average. It isn't 'narrow' (less than average distance between the ears), and it isn't 'round' (more than average distance between the ears).

In heads, 'normal' means 'oval shaped'.

It sounds like you may have a 'narrow' head (don't worry - I do, too!).

The Shoei Quest fits a 'normal' head, so you might not like it (too much pressure on your forehead, or on the back of your head).

This chart categorizes many different helmets as narrow, medium narrow, slightly narrow, neutral, slightly round, medium round, or round:

Answer: 
Go to the Shoei Qwest listing here on Revzilla and click on the "size chart" icon. Once there, you can click on the "convert to Centimeters". Then simply measure your head with a soft measuring tape around the thickest part of your skull at the rear, and just above the eyebrows in front. Then choose the size that corresponds to your measurements. That way you get what you need.

I've measured my head and it is 23 - 23 1/16 inches (depending on hair length). When I look at the sizing chart, I fall between medium and large. This will be my first Shoei and FF helmet. I'm thinking that I should try the medium, but I'm not sure. Any guidance would be appreciated...

Answers

Answer: 
it's always best to try one on to be sure. even different models w/same manufacturer can be different. if that's impossible (an online-only sale) you're usually better off going with the smaller size -- helmets break in and shape to your head after a little while, and more snug = more safe. you can read reviews too -- folks usually mention if a particular helmet runs small or larger than expected. Also be sure to check the return policy and make sure it's not costly to ship back if it just doesn't fit.

Me personally, I would opt up... but that's based on the style riding on do and my desire to be comfortable. A too-small helmet squeezing down on my head just takes away from the enjoyment of riding for me. I would say go up and see how it feels. If it feels cavernous, it's too big. If it wobbles, it's too big. If it fits around the crown but it's too tight at the neck, you can always change out some padding. If all else fails, Revzilla makes the return pain-free, and get the MD.

Is the overly huge Shoei branding on the front of the helmet removable? I was able to take it off of my old RF1000 without a lot of fanfare, but this looks to be 'captured' onto the helmet. I love Shoei's products but the branding is excessive IMHO. Maybe not enough to chose another helmet - as I have a 'Shoei Head' - but I am put off by the size and location of it, especially if it is integral to the helmet.

Answer: 
You got me thinking about this, so I removed mine last night. The answer is YES, you can remove it, but it takes a few minutes and patience. If you have a plastic scraper (paint scraper) it can make the removal a lot easier. Also, goo gone for the residual. It does look much better without the HUGE logo on the front.

Answer: 
For me the overall size is the same. I wear the Arai in M and thought Inwanted to try the Quest. I was still size M in the Quest, but the Quest fit was much more 'round' it definately did not fit my head shape. The Arai fits me like a glove, the Quest fits me more like a bucket. You either fit a Arai or you fit a Shoei. Rather unlikely you would fit both correctly.

Answer: 
The Shoei Quest will fit the same as the TZ-R, although the Quest fits a bit more snug. It takes a little time for the cheek pads to adjust to your face, so it does feel tight at first. I would say that ordering your normal size, large, would be the correct way to proceed. The shell of the Quest is much stiffer, so putting it on and taking it off is a little different than the TZ-R too. But the helmet is a great upgrade.

Answer: 
Though either helmet would be a good choice for just about any bike, the Qwest was really designed with touring bikes (or any bike with an upright riding position) in mind. I notice a definite increase in noise if I put my head down in more of a sport bike riding position when wearing my Qwest. Likewise, the vents on the RF-1100 aren't optimally located for an upright riding position, but plenty of people say they work just fine. To make a long answer short, they're both excellent helmets and you won't go wrong with either.

Answer: 
It really depends on what kind of riding you plan to do. The Qwest is more an upright styled helmet. So, if you're going with a cruiser, touring, or traditional bike, the Qwest is probably what you are looking for.

The RF-1100 is designed for a more forward leaning position, so it is better for sport bikes where you are in the 3/4 or tuck position.

That said, they are fairly similar, and I don't think it would be 'wrong' to get a Qwest for your sport bike, for example. Probably not ideal. If you're planning to get a graphic version, pick the one you like best.

Answer: 
This is fairly simple to answer. It all depends on what kind of bike you are going to be riding. If you are riding a sport bike, with a forward leaning position would use the RF-1100. If you are riding a standard, touring, or sport touring bike with a more upright position, use the Qwest.
If you look at the helmets side by side, you will see that the Qwest has the top vent located further back to allow for more air in an upright position. The RF series as the vents more to the front of the helmet to allow for more air in a forward riding position.

Answer: 
I have never worn the RF 1100, but have heard it is noisier than the Qwest. That said--it is noisier because it moves more air inside the helmet. The RF 1100 also has a completely removable and washable head basket--you can only remove and wash the cheek pads on a Qwest.

The hotter the climate I lived in--the more likely I would be to own an RF--1100.

Also, buy an RF-1100 if you tuck forward while riding. The Qwest will not bring air into the helmet once you are leaning beyond a certain upright position.

The Shoei Qwest is the US (DOT sticker) equivalent for the Shoei TZ-X helmet (AS sticker) in Australia. Both models replaced the older TZ-R helmet with its newly updated AIM+ shell, increased ventilation and reduced noise levels.

Answer: 
So far they have nothing in the range but would it not be easy enough to grab a solid colour and slap on some hi-viz tape? Maybe even a custom colour job if it something out of the ordinary. By hi-viz, I take it you mean flouro green or yellow...that correct? Something like the hideous Schuberth C3 hi-vis? (Sorry, I would post a photo but the picture is not mine).
