Don't exactly look well ventilated.
My Shoei is pretty far out there when it comes to design, but it is most definitely well ventilated and light.

Less you people all think I was itching to drag my face across the pavement with my post - that wasn't quite what I was digging for.

Picked up the new gringo s for my wife. Nice vintage looking helmet with a face shield to boot


What weight are they? How quiet are they? Are they comfy? #$%* fashion if they aint. They do look nice though.

Light and comfy yes, quiet.....well my helmets not the best but I only ride in the city so it suits my needs. Winter up here so haven't had a chance to test the new gringo with the face shield.

Just came across this one. Ventilation looks terrible and I wonder how loud it would be, but at least its DOT and ECE approved. Maybe for a summer in the city?

Need an adress who may restore it.


Hi,

I finally found a good address in Portugal.

Luis is offering rare, old helmets and is restoring them.

You find hin on ebay :

After some e-mail I sended my RX1 to Luis.

Last week I got it back. Looks great inside and out. He could save the old fabric and stickers inside . Foarm is new, visor is new, stickers outside are new, piping (?) is new, fabric cleaned, colour is re-finished.....

I highly can recommend Luis, work, communication, reliability.

Here it is
