Got the bike out and back on the road this past weekend. I’ve started to commute on it and the morning rides are chilly here. 5 layers to go to work and 3 layers coming home. Not complaining as I’m happy to be riding again.

Does anyone have any experience with the Shoei Neotec 3 helmet? I need a new helmet this year and this is the helmet I keep coming back to look at. Would love to hear any real life experience with this helmet.

@Denman-John Can’t go wrong w Shoei, I had a Shoei RF-SR, it was solid, a little loud, good vision. I hear good things about the Simpson Speed Bandit.

@Denimhead-0 @Denman-John Those Shoei neotec 3 helmets are SICK. super nice but super pricey!

I have a Simpson for the super cold weather, but I much prefer my 3/4 helmets for feeling, visibility, and mobility. The discontinued "Bandit"

@WhiskeySandwich Same, I struggle w the visibility on full face.

I got tired of the wind noise of open face helmets…it wasn’t bad for a quick trip across town, but after a few hours and it seriously messed with my hearing. Only wear full face now. I like Arai as it fits my head shape better.

I had an Arai helmet that I loved,but once I started wearing flip up helmets I landed on Nolan,which I felt was the best of both worlds.They’re pretty visibility conscious in their overall design. At the end of the day it comes down to which one is the most comfortable,as all the top level helmets will protect you. I had one black helmet and once I got a white one,especially in the Summer,it’s was significantly cooler.
