Buy Shoei Men's Rf-1200 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet (Medium, Matte Black): Helmets - ✓ FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchases
I bought this helmet a month before I was hit on my bike and it saved my life! Broke 5 bones, was thrown 20-25 feet, and busted the front forehead part of my helmet before rolling into a ditch. My face and head were completely protected and I never lost consciousness. The EMT and Firefighters used the emergency pull tabs on the helmet to easily pull out the padding while keeping my head straight. Best decision I ever made was spending the extra money on this helmet. If my wife ever lets me ride again, I’m
definitely buying another one of these!!!
Black Matte Shoei RF-1200 Anthracite Full-Faced Motorcycle Helmet. Medium. Each individual hyphenate of that description sounds baller as a standalone, but all together they form a Voltron of alpha male (or female) descriptors that point to you being as much about personal safety as you are about speed; hot, nasty, responsible speed.
While some may decry the use of helmets and gear as being ineffectual when you're going 85+ sitting otherwise exposed atop an exploding rocket while Mad Max - Fury of 495 Rush Hour (DMV resident here) plays out around you, I disagree.
Much like the girl that dashes out of her illegally parked 2003 Jetta into Sephora in the middle of a rainstorm with only a grocery bag held above her head to shield her hair from the rain, it's important to let casual observers know you still care just enough that they shouldn't worry that you've got nothing left to lose.
Also, gotta protect the moneymaker. A fully body cast is only attractive if your face is still 100%.
As far as safety goes, Shoei is the top of the line and this specific model (RF-1200) comes highly recommended from dozens of other attractive, safety-minded internet strangers on Amazon and Reddit.
Like Thanksgiving dinner it fits snugly yet comfortably, the pin-lock anti-fog visor does exactly as advertised, and the vents and design keep your head cool even as you yell obscenities at Honda Odyssey wielding NoVa soccer moms veering into your lane because they're busy playing Candy Crush on their way to wine and paint at 2PM on a Tuesday.
Purchased on Amazon in February 2018 for $500+ and was used sparingly for long distance hauls - I use a half-shell helmet and aviators for my city riding because nothing bad ever happens at 20-30mph.
Almost sold it a couple months back because I sold my motorcycle recently and wearing the helmet while frying oil splashy eggs comes close but ultimately doesn't match the thrill of the speed and solitude of the open road.
So while the amateur motorcycle helmet connoisseur may buy a helmet to ride their hog, I’m going to be looking for a motorcycle that matches this helmet.
Excellent helmet with great construction and attention to detail. I ordered a Medium based on other reviews and having a 58 measurement, it fit perfectly out of the box for my oval head shape. Wearing on the bike I found it to be reasonably quiet and flow good air, but not as much as my Arai XD-4. I also like the emergency easy remove pads feature, but hope they never need to be used! Came with lots of excellent accessories standard: snap in breath guard, pin lock shield, and even a chin curtain. All in all, I really like everything about this helmet and I’m very pleased with the performance.
I already have a Shoei full face helmet, but it didn't have indented places for speakers for my Sena. This helmet does, but they still didn't hold the speakers very well. The diameter was a little too small. Also, when I mounted the Sena Boom, the helmet molding did not accommodate the mic wiring.
The fit crushed my cheeks into my teeth, but otherwise is fairly comfortable. I still needed ear plugs, but the helmet is one of the quietest I've had.
This was my first helmet that came with a PINLOCK lens. That really worked well. I was up in the mountains over 9,300 ft and no fog. The people I rode with were complaining about their face shields fogging. When we got back down to the desert, the 100F and bright sun didn't bother me at all.
I crashed at 80mph wearing one and landed on my head. This was a replacement because of superior performance of the other.

4 out of 5 because haven't had long.Only time will tell if its worth the price.Seems to be made well and fit well.comes with some extras which is always good.Breathe deflector included plus chin curtain.Quick shield change system is nice also love the matte black.Can use transitional shield on it is a plus.Only time will tell if it becomes one of my favorite helmets or not
very comfortable light and extremely stable at speed, Shoei has their reputation for a reason i guess i just wish i had gotten one sooner and hope to never test out how well it works in a crash.
Love this helmet. Definitely am going to purchase the sun reactive visor. But feel safe, and comfortable wearing it. Also definitely going to purchase the Senna Bluetooth speakers/headphone etc for this helmet
