Shoei RF-1100 Glacier Helmet - Large/TC-3 Review

I race in the AFM and have always used Shoei helmets because they fit my head the best and are great quality. My old RF-1000 saved me from head injury after being run off the track at 100mph (Turn 7 @ Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA) and so I went with the RF-1100 to replace it.

Just got done riding this weekend at Thunderhill again where temps were about 95-100F and the ventilation of the helmet was very welcome. I always ride with ear plugs because of wind noise can do damage to your hearing over time. Even with ear plugs, the intake noise of my race bike with it's open intake (no airbox) is quite noticeable, so I wouldn't consider this a "quiet" helmet.

Fit & construction is typical Shoei- excellent. I've worn a X-11, RF-1100 in large and I'm a large RF-1100 as well.

Two slight negatives about this helmet which isn't typical of most Shoei's:

This is a *MATTE* helmet- it's not clear coated as most helmets are. This helps the florescent yellow stripes stand out even more (and they do look great!), but it means the helmet shows fingerprints, etc. I haven't had problems cleaning the helmet from bugs, but since it was pretty windy this weekend there were fewer bugs then normal. You definitely wouldn't want to leave dead bugs on this helmet for long though.

Also, Shoei includes a note that the florescent paint will fade if the helmet is kept in the sunlight for long periods of time. So it's best to keep it in it's cover when not in use.

I picked this particular design because it goes great with my custom Helimot leathers and even bought two so I'd have a backup "just in case". However, unless you're like me and in love with this design, I'd probably recommend one of their non-matte helmets which are likely going to be easier to clean & maintain over the long term.

EDIT: Turns out this helmet is just as easy to clean as the clear coat helmets. I've been using Honda Polish and a terry cloth rag and bugs/etc come really easy and no staining. Very happy with this helmet!
