Well said Jeff!!
I will have to look out for the Corsair. Venting is particularly important in the the Philippines.My current Corsair is easily the best that I've had. Comfort is very good, but most of all, the venting is phenomenal.
Many claim to. . . . few actually deliver.. . . . If anyone else knows of a current helmet that has excellent ventilation, pointers would be greatly appreciated.
It might sound like I'm being facetious...but kind of being for real.....Here in Dallas/Ft. Worth about 90% of the bikes on the road are Harleys. Here is the rationale: About spending THAT much for their bike, leather vest with patches and Tshirts...no money left over. They figure they spent THAT much on the bike..It'll protect them....and the last reason........honestly most of these guys/gals ride less than 500 miles per year. Also, for many of these guys, the not wearing a helmet is a political statement through personal safety to the wind.What blows my mind are these guys on a $40,000.00 Harley all decked out in full high dollar leathers, gloves, boots, etc. They complete the assemblage by wearing a cheap $25.00 cereal bowl on their head.
Same. I've taken june bugs, rocks and other small road debris to the face shield and some left a serious mark. Could not imagine taking that impact to the face.I don't know how anybody rides without a helmet. For bugs, and rocks if nothing else.
I was laughing as I read, "This is one of those few that does deliver outstanding ventilation and all day comfort:..." Chris. As I had not scrolled down enough and I could only see the VENT above the door not the helmet!! HAHAHAHAThis is one of those few that does deliver outstanding ventilation and all day comfort:

LOL!! That is the Shoei VFX-EVO. I have a local dealer close to me that specializes in helmets. This is the first Shoei off road helmet I ever purchased. I normally had bought HJC for off road in the past. For the price and protection HJC's are hard to beat.I was laughing as I read, "This is one of those few that does deliver outstanding ventilation and all day comfort:..." Chris.

What helmet is that?
The reason SNELL doesn't test them as I recall is that they hadn't found a latch to hold up. Some of the less expensive modulars have a piece of stamped sheetmetal for a latch and I've seen some of those pop open when the helmet hit the pavement, leaving the person's face exposed after initial contact.
If I am recalling correctly, any helmet that is equipped with a drop down sun-shield (as most modular lids are) isI've read SNELL will test modulars, but "none" will pass their rigorous frontal testing. I believe one modular passed, long ago, but I forget who it was and it is out of production. Also, many manufacturers don't submit these models to SNELL for testing.
Can the chin vent be closed?. . . . That is the Shoei VFX-EVO . . . .
Pretty sure there is no closing the chin vent.Can the chin vent be closed?
