Great Helmet
Great helmet, it's very quiet, I got a bluetooth system for it and the earholes are already cut out for speakers. It came with the fog eliminating shield and it has never fogged up on me.

Good protection
To make a long story short, last summer I survived a collision with a deer while wearing full gear, which included this helmet. Although my head was not the first to hit the floor, it did take some substantial abuse. As I bounced / slid 40-60ft across the pavement like a rag doll rolling over myself every which way my helmet frequently banged the ground. In the end the paint around the sides and front of the helmet were gone exposing the material underneath. It had not cracked or shattered upon closer inspection after the accident so I have to give this helmet a rating it deserves.
All in all, great fit, great comfort, and superb protection. My only gripe is that it is not quiet once you hit highway speeds.

Beautiful Super Comfy Helmet with Nice Air Flow
To start off, this is my second helmet. After riding the last 2 years with a hand me down helmet that didn't quite fit my head right, I decided that it was time to upgrade. I started off with a G-max GM54s, which had almost every feature you could ever want, but it squeezed my head terribly. After returning and doing more research, I realized that I have a much more oval head vs. a round one.
After reading some helmet guides online, the Shoei RF-1100 was highly recommended for someone with a dome like mine. This helmet was a few hundred dollars more than I was intending to spend, but can you put a price on your safety and comfort? After putting about 200 miles on it, all I can say is that I LOVE this helmet. I was only able to do about a half hour ride with my old helmet before I had to stop and give my head a rest, now I can go over an hour with no pain or silly looking red marks all over my forehead. Additionally, I can actually Feel the Air flowing through the helmet! With the un-Godly Texas heat, this is a must.
On top of being super comfy and nice air flow, this helmet carries all safety standards you could want, and looks super sleek. I opted for the green coloration, and it is just spectacular! It was a bit more than I had intended to pay, but I now feel that this helmet was worth every penny. I've never enjoyed riding so much now that I have my Shoei RF-1100 Chroma!

This helmet rocks!
I have HJC, Scorpion, Bell and Torc helmets; they cannot be compared to the Shoei RF-1100, this helmet is top notch, in every possible way.
I am just in love with this freaking thing. After a few minutes wearing it, you forget is there, so confortable and the ventilation is superb.
Also, the Hadron 2 just looks sick and mean, like I said, I love it.

Great product
My largest gripe with this helmet is the fact that it doesn't include a pinlock as a standard. This helmet will fog up on you. That being said the quality is on par with the price. It's relatively light, average noise production with the chin curtain, and very comfortable. I've seen people complain that the cheek guards were too big, but they are supposed to be snug against the zygomatic bones to prevent injury. With wear they do break in nicely. This is one of the better helmets for the price point and SNELL and DOT approved.
P.S. The oil from your hands will mark up the matte black option.

Great, solid helmet
I have tested this helmet - 5000 dual sport miles in a month of riding - and it has performed brilliantly.

Beautiful Design!
I bought the white corazon and I absolutely love it and the color matches my blue Ninja 636. The man was jealous when I showed him my new baby. Now he wants to buy a new helmet. The size chart is true to size so I bought a XS. I really have no complaints.
