Just purchased one on the strength of your review. New to the channel and watching from Australia. Loving your work !! Thank you

You Sir are an excellent presenter. Very nice lid too

Great video as always, I think this just might be my next lid! Top work! 🙌

Fantastic reviews, thank you. I'm leaning to the Shoei over the Arai, however, I was wondering what your thoughts are on how each would be with comms for phone and music etc for sound and would it change the comfort/fit? Thanks in advance.

Great video and review! If I had the cash I would get one of these but at 400 quid it is very much out of my league still I fell I have benefited from all the info you have given. cheers!

Great work Chris. Excellent review. You haven’t mentioned this against another big selling retro, Bell Bullitt. How come?

Enjoy all your videos most informative ones out there. Wil be looking for a replacement for my old lid soon and I'm looking at the glamster and rapid but siding more with glamster are both helmets sunglasses friendly as this would be a must. Thanks.

Yes, they should be. The only danger is if the helmet sits to high or too low then the channel for sunglasses is not in the correct place. So, in principle yes, but you will still need to make sure works on you. ML

Suuuuch good reviews.

Thanks, very informative…

Hey there! Love your reviews! How would you say this stacks up against the RF-1200 as far as noise? Would love the style but I’d rather have a quieter lid. Thanks!

Frankly, I don't know because we don't know the RF-1200. But, with a helmet like the Glamster one might be expected to make a little bit of a trade of in terms of creature comforts. It doesn't have the very best chin curtain, and the lower mesh vents are permanently open, so it is not the quietest helmet on the market, although it is 10 times better than most of the retro helmets. ML

Great review, not the norm for you to ride and review the helmet. 👍🏽

Chris looks like you've lost a bit of weight, good on you man

Great looking helmet IMO. One question - can you fit comms, as it appears to look fairly compact in size?

@Motolegends

We have had customers who have done this already but you don't get deep recesses so you need pretty thin speakers. ML

I’m struggling to get a good fit on this helmet sadly from local sellers in the north. Is there anything that can be done on the custom side to addd extra shell padding? M too tight, L just sits a tad too low. Looking forward to perhaps more retro helmets with substance like this!

Dear Paul Difficult to do remotely but here's our view..... On both helmets you can change the head liner and the cheek pads. So in the large you could have a thicker headliner and/or thicker cheek pads. Similarly in the medium you could have thinner headliner and / or thinner cheek pads. This may or may not work for you. Of course if your head shape is not right for the oval shape of a Shoei, it might not be possible to make the helmet work for you. The other possibility if the fit on the large is right but it sits too low is that you add a kitchen sponge in the crown. An old racers' trick but one that sometimes is all that is needed. Hope that helps.

Cris, thank you for this review. Great job as always! I am measuring myself between 60 - 61cm which is obviously between L and XL. I know there are many exchangeable pad options but which size would you recommend me to order?

Love the look, small size and weight. Cool, but not able to close the chin vents? This a Shoei not a Biltwell, and what does that mean that's it's not as substantial protection wise as the Arai retro but it's good for the weekend? If I face plant at speed sporting the Shoei on a Saturday afternoon, I'm good to go but not so much Wednesday morning? Hmmm.

Yes, I also was disappointed that the chin vents were not closeable, but, in reality they don't flow a large amount of air: they are largely cosmetic. But you have misinterpreted what I said about the substance of the helmet. From a safety perspective, there is no trade off, the Shoei is as safe as any helmet and in certain circumstances safer than the Arai, because the Arai has an immensely thick outer shell. My point however, was that if you are commuting every day there is a sense of heft to the Arai that makes one think that it will stand up better to daily abuse. ML

Anybody know WHICH Arai he keeps referring to?

Great review. What jacket are you wearing?

Is the shoei insignia/logo on forehead part removable?

Shoei are very proud of this as it is their classic logo not their modern one. It is not removeable as it is lacquered in. If you really hate it go for the mat black as you can hardly see it on that one! ML

The Glamster is a little bit wider in the cheeks but that's why it comes with 39mm cheek pads. The end result will be a very similar fit and very familiar to any Shoei wearer. ML

Do you think you can possibly find out if the Shoei Glamster is planned to sell in America..?? Absolutely love this helmet.

I think this helmet was created because of the clamour from Europe and people like us. I think it will all depend on reaction to the helmet. If it is well received it would make sense for them to go for DOT. ML

Nice jacket, whats the link for it?

The small form factor of this really appeals for riding without fairings/screens, ie naked. The smaller frontage will reduce neck strain at higher speeds.

Your a bit of a rebel then 😀😀

If I was to order one, could you swap stickers on box to shoei GANGSTA or assassin or even shoei slug. Glamster errr what if I'm not in and helmet gets delivered to neighbours, errrrrrrrr they'd think I was coming out of the closet. Errrrrrrrrrr even prefer shoei bender more appropriate for when I do come out😁

That people give you s**** for riding your bike by yourself with a helmet on that doubles as a mask is a sad sign to what kind of world we have come to.

I was with you until the £400 bit.

Personally, I would have been happier to see this at £350 but compared with most of the very basic hipster helmets it is still a bargain. But £400 for a high end safety helmet is not out of court. What amazes me at times is how people will go out and spend £400, £500 or even £1,000 on a set of exhausts just to make the bike sound different yet baulk at spending £400 on something that, in extremis, could mean the difference between life and death.
