Great light weight helmet that fits my head perfecting and looks amazing! Wind noise is low and helmet is still comfortable after long rides.

My favorite helmet. The low profile looks, sleek matte finish, and comfortable interior were exactly what I was hoping for in the Glamster model. I waited a year before pulling the trigger on buying this one and when I did, Urban Rider had it to me in the US in two days. Amazing! On the road the helmet is comfortable and moderately quiet. The visor only has two positions (open and close), and the visor lock can be a little awkward to get used to when the helmet is on. This is definitely a good cold weather helmet with the minimal vents and the close-able one at the forehead. If you are wiring it up for coms it gets a little tricky with the ear pieces as there aren’t any cutout but I managed them just fine.

Overall a very positive experience. I specifically looked for the ECE 22.05 older version due to being a little lighter. I am glad I still found the older model for the lowest price at UR, they are getting scarce in matt black size large. No worries with quick delivery worldwide and the website was good. I love the style of the helmet, and the Shoei quality. It has all the modern helmet stuff like removable interior (with red emergency pull tabs), Pinlock (included) ready visor that really seals well and has a cracked open setting. This is a quality helmet that has the retro style I wanted for my older Monster 1100 Evo.

Been looking at these for a while so when it came on sale I snapped it up. Like most of us I own quite a few lids, this is bar far the most comfortable. Very lightweight, perfect fit and the quality you would expect from Shoei. This is definitely a summer lid though, Ill keep the Arai for the colder wetter days. NOTE: avoid the aftermarket black visor, buy the Shoei official version.

Super lightweight, very cool looking lid. Visor feels a little flimsier than my RYD, in fact, apart from style, the RYD is the better helmet. This is mainly due to the noise. The glamster has a join in the neck roll right under each ear which carries a lot of noise into the helmet. I’ve reduced this with a little black masking tape but I think Shoei should perhaps release an updated liner? I own an RYD, Bell Bullit, Biltwell Gringo, and a Shuhberth E1. I’d say the RYD and E1 are similar for minimal noise levels with the gringo next, then the bullet and lastly the Glamster! Otherwise would be top of my list, supremely comfortable and capable helmet - please just fix the noisy gap in the liner!
