Shoei Glamster - Abiding TC3

Lovely sturdy helmet! Good build, great design. Only downside is no space for comms- maybe a senna but not for other brands.

I was looking for a more retro style of helmet for riding around on my Triumph this coming year and this certainly fits the bill.
I bought a medium for my 58 size head and the fit is as expected (like other Shoei models).
I noticed that the level of padding was less than previous helmets and during the first few commuting runs the noisy level was higher than expected, so ear plugs are needed.
It's a great looking helmet (IMHO), vision is excellent as is the finish, but I don't think it will be used for planned tours.

Although I've only worn this a couple of times on freezing short rides (the joys of buying a new lid in the depths of winter!), I've been really impressed with it.

I was slightly worried that this would be a style over substance lid. Having worn it a few times now, I can say that is not the case (although it does look "cool", if you like that sort of thing).

My previous lid was a shoei NXR which was great, but when I had my mid life crisis and bought a harley, I needed something that looked cool, which is where this came in.

In terms of fit, it's the same sort of fit as my NXR, but it's actually lighter. Although not quite as quiet as the NXR, it's not far off and I wear ear plugs anyway.

In summary, great lightweight lid that's a lot better than the "cool" looks would suggest.

Great fitting comfortable helmet and such an amazing price from SBS
I won't shop anywhere else
