Review on Shoei Neotec II Helmet (X-Small) (Light Silver) by Joseph Rasmussen

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Chin strap that chokes.

I have been using Shoei Neotec since 2015 and quickly returned this new version after trying it on. This may not be the case for others, but the new chin strap doesn't work for me at all. With the helmet on and buckled, the large, bulky buckle digs into my Adam's apple every time I tilt my head down, causing a choking sensation and gag reflex. In addition, the helmet proved to be very comfortable. However, this is a cause for immediate concern. I wouldn't want to ride my bikes and feel so uncomfortable riding. Also, I use SENA 10C Pro on my original Neotec. It seems that the Neotec 2's specific design for yet another SENA communications-only communications device will prevent me from installing the 10C Pro, and it certainly did. Although I could live with that, I noticed that the angle from the camera position was also forced to be smaller than I wanted due to the wrong choice of Shoei who made this helmet for a different communication device.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Disappears
