Shoei Multitec Helmets - Modular - Flip-up Large Anthracite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first reviewed this helmet in 2008 (here on Amazon), and gave it a high rating.The only negative comment I could find for it was a higher-than-expected noise level inside, for which I compensate by use of earplugs.

I was wearing that helmet at 0615, 17 July 2009, at approx. 50 MPH on Avalon Blvd near Milton, FL, on my way to work, when a motorist made an illegal turn in front of me (according to the FHP) and I hit him.I suffered a concussion; 3 broken ribs; collapsed right lung; fracture of 3 discs in the thoracic spine; shattered right wrist; bruises and contusions.After 33' of skidmarks, I went headfirst over the handlebars, through my windshield, over his car and onto the pavement.

The Shoei Multitec saved my life.I still have it: replace the faceshield and the chin strap (cut away by the paramedics), and it might be used again.However: since the interior did its job & compressed to absorb the shock of the collision, it can't be re-used -- so, after 7 months of operations and rehab, the first purchase I made was a second Shoei, exactly like that first one.And I'm back underway on a twin of the bike I had totalled in that collision.

I'm a 62-year-old, safe, , defensive, committed motorcycle rider.I've ridden since I was 16.This was my first accident on the street, and it nearly killed me.I'm alive because, in a state where helmets are not required, I wear one every time I get on the bike and ride.

I kept that Shoei.It sits on my garage workbench where I can see it, every time I don its replacement and ride.I'll send you a picture of it, if you like.Just let me know.

P.S.:I still have to use earplugs....
