Shoei DS Hornet
The Shoei Hornet DS helmet, specifically designed for the adventure touring and dual sport market works as well as possible over the widest range of dual-sporting conditions. The Shoei Hornet helmet overcomes the dual sports enthusiast’s dilemma of whether they should ride with a full face, on-road helmet lacking the air flow, visibility, eye shade, and style of a motocross helmet… or use the motocross helmet, goggles, and buffeting visor on the street with its limited face protection, high levels of wind noise, and lack of thermal protection in cold temperatures. Shoei in effect offers two helmets for the price of one without sacrificing capability under any scenario making it the best of both worlds.
It’s everything I looked for. Great fit, Very nice face shield, seals great, has high quality feel and several detents for partially open, etc.Visor is a touch shorter than a full off road MX style helmet, which is good at road speeds.Up to 60 mph or so…buffeting is not bad.Faster, I would say be careful.Any visor is gonna start to pull your head around as the wind picks up…but yes…visor is worth having, really blocks the low sun morning/eve.Fogging is very minimal except when I rode a few times at 35 degrees out, even then, only when stopped.
For Dual Sport riders, this is a great helmet. The cheekpads are removable and for 40 bucks, you can get thinner/thicker ones for a PERFECT feel.
The only real quality competitor to this model is the Arai XD3, which is also a very nice helmet, fit, etc. BUT…visor is longer and I bet grabs more air=more wind buffeting on the street. For buzzing around town either would be good though. I did try both the Shoei and Arai on, then settled on the Shoei because of price and the shorter visor. A bonus I did not expect but got with this, is MUCH more peripheral vision than any of my street helmets in the past!
Product Description: Shoei Hornet DS Helmet
Designed for the adventure touring and dual sport market, the Shoei Hornet-DS can be used in three configurations: with visor and shield, with just shield, or with just visor.
- A wide, three dimensionally curved shield completely seals against the eyeport beading
- Lightweight AIM+ (Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus Multi Fiber) shell
- Visor includes a front air intake to channel air into top of helmet
- Shutter behind nose cover directs air flow to clear shield fogging
- Fully removable 3D interior, with five layer cheekpads that are channeled for eyeglasses
- Built-in breath guard; chin curtain included
- DOT and Snell-M2005 Approved
Lastly, Simpson makes a helmet of this type but the quality is not up to par.I wanted to buy American but nothing about it matched the Arai or Shoei. Too bad. I used to buy only Simpson.
