Great review. I've had this Helmet (Depart for 12 years now and still going well. However, there are vents I never knew about and have never used in those 12 years. Thanks for showing me something new about my 12 year old helmet.. !! In fact I just ordered a brand new one - same colour as the one in this video. cheers

Ventilation is great for summer , but I do find an awful lot of insects getting into the helmet , mainly through the top vents

What do the small red tabs do on the rear vents?? Also I’ve had this helmet for almost a month and didn’t know my chin was adjustable!

So in your opinion which one is better for daily city use - Shoei or Arai?
@orbsurfer8195

The Arai XD4/Tour-X4 helmet is a better helmet by far compared to the Shoei Neotec II, but if you have to put on/remove the helmet fairly often and require Bluetooth use, the Shoei flip-up/modular helmet is easier to use. At low speeds the visor is usually open, so the lack of good ventilation and a crystal clear visor on the Shoei is not that important. In other words, the Shoei might be a better choice for city use.

Hi, how is the helmet performing in winter/cold weather? I've been thinking about buying one, but I am worried about too much cold air getting under the helmet and freeze my face. This is something I experienced with some other helmets. I kind of resolved this problem by wearing a balaclava in cold weather, but is not ideally all the time... The Shoei Neotec 2, seems well sealed under the neck, but I like the look of the Arai more, and will suit my Africa Twin better. Thank you.

The Arai Tour-X4/XD4 performs pretty good in cold weather when closing off the majority of the vents. I wear a turtleneck sweater, a fleece jacket with a tall collar and a thin balaclava with a long neck when it is cold outside, so with all those additional layers, the helmet works pretty well. OK, not the helmet, more about layers. :-) Many years ago, when riding in Really Cold weather, read snow and ice, in Norway, I had a neck gaiter that was mounted to the outside bottom part of the helmet and covered the area between the helmet and the top of the jacket. Have tried to find a similar neck gaiter, but zero success. An absolutely great solution! I find the Arai Tour-X4/XD4 has better venting when it is hot outside than the Neotec 2, but of course the ability of opening up the whole front on the Neotec 2 is super nice. The best part bar none with the Neotec 2, is the ability to mount an integrated Bluetooth speaker/microphone system. That ability is miles/kilometers :-) better than the add on solution I have on the Tour-X4/XD4. It would be nice if the helmet and Bluetooth Communication systems manufacturers came up with a simple standard for such systems. Not really rocket science...

When wearing glasses would you recommend this helmet, or anyone else?

I always wear sunglasses or clear glasses when riding. The straighter the arms on the glasses are, the easier it is to put on/remove the glasses. The helmet is very good and absolutely recommended!

I will try to make a video of the installation. The Yamaha rear rack and the two Givi case carriers had to be modified by cutting, drilling and filing in order for the parts to fit.
