Padden is my hero
Ok, so I like my Neotec, or did. Wore my RF1100 for the first time on about a year. First thing I noticed is it fits better/no tight spots at all.Not that the Neotec fits bad, the 1100 just feels better.
One thing that irritates me about Shoei is they will not make a tinted shield for the Neotec. When riding in hot weather in blazing sun it just radiates more heat into the helmet with the clear shield and flip visor down.
My 1100 has a dark smoke shield and even with it down with sunglasses I can see the GPS/speedo readout on the GPS much better than the Neotec with the sunvisor down w/sunglasses. Maybe it's because the flip down shield is closer to my eyes.
Another thing I noticed is how much quieter it is than the Neotec. It's quieter with all the vents open than the Neotec with it's vents closed.
It's too bad because I like the flip function.
