1. HELMET SHELL

The shell acts as the first layer of defense and has a very critical role in the event of a fall. It is the shock absorber and distributes the impact energy over the largest area. Shoei created a shell which is incredibly strong, lightweight and elastic by using a combination of hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass and organic fibers and resin. Thus, Shoei ’s proprietary Multi-Ply Matrix AIM & AIM+ shells are the fruits of applied technology and advanced materials. To ensure a custom fit for all heads sizes, they are available in various shell sizes.

2. VENTILATION

Shoei helmets provide optimum ventilation through perfect placement and shaping of the inlets and outlets and creating air channels within the EPS Liner. The arrangement is such to direct cool drying air into the helmet and withdraw the warm damp air out of the exhaust outlets. To separate Shoei helmets from the competition, maximum ventilation is tested in the state-of-the-art wind tunnel and a high priority is given during R&D and testing phase in the development of a new helmet.

3. SHEILD

It is not enough for a helmet shield to protect the rider against wind, dirt, insects and 99% of the sun’s damaging UV rays. That is why, Shoei’s helmet shield are made through a 3D injection-molding process to ensure a distortion-free view throughout the entire field of vision. With all the tests done on Shoei’s helmet shields, you can be assured that they comply with DOT and Snell certification standards.

4. EPS LINER

The EPS liners of a helmet are expected to absorb shock during a fall or bump. So Shoei created an EPS liner that has varying densities of foam in key areas around the rider’s head. However, aside from impact energy absorption, Shoei helmets EPS liners are designed for an additional function. SHOEI’s innovative Dual-Layer, Multi-Density EPS liner systems are designed to keep the inside of the helmet dry and cool by further enhancing the superior ventilation feature.

5. INTERIOR SYSTEM

Comfort and fit are reliant on the interior system. Most of Shoei helmets are equipped with fully or partially removable, washable, adjustable, and replaceable interior components. They are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head to give assurance that rides aren’t just safe but also comfortable with less distraction no matter how fast or how far a rider goes.

6. CHIN STRAP

Not even a chinstrap goes unnoticed by Shoei. The chin strap of Shoei helmets are attached to the helmet shell with metal rivets to make sure it stays in place. Chin straps are made of materials with proper tensile strength and extensibility to firmly hold the helmet on the rider’s head.
