Shoei J-Wing Helmet ???

[Spencer]

Did a search and only found one reference to the J-wing???
Anyone using it and can offer an opinion?
Even with the windshield all the way down I am dying in the S FL heat
with my CL-SP. Don't want to go away from a full face but I need more air.

Thanks, Spencer

I checked out the J-Wing and really liked it. But I'm a big Shoei fan - they just fit me right. Our climate is not real hot though and I just couldn't bring myself to spending over $300 for a helmet I wear a dozen times a year. I ended up with a KBC Tour Com and like it very much. Same Snell and DOT ratings but 1/3 the price. And when I found it came in Pearl Yellow, well that sealed the deal! :) I'm sure the J-Wing is a fantastic helmet and if I lived in Florida I'm sure I would have gone with it.

Danm Rob, How many lids is that now? You must have to switch mid ride to get a little use in on each. :D

BTW, I wear XL in most helmet lines for when you have the garage sale.....

Thanks all,

(BTW Tina, counting cruiser lids, has 9 helmets, lets not even discuss her
jacket and shoe obsessions)

Does KBC offer a shield for the Tour Com ?
I didn't see one.
I like the design but want one with a flip up shield. I wear glasses when I
ride and prefer the extra protection.
