Shoei Glamster Basalt Grey

The Shoei Glamster is the helmet that, back in early 2017, we asked Shoei to make. We presented to them the idea that, whilst there were a number of retro-styled helmets on the market, most were rather toy-like. Some looked very cool, but as helmets none of them was really up to the job of protecting the rider in the way that a modern, technical helmet does. The Shoei Glamster is the helmet that came out of those discussions. And it is pretty much exactly what we told them we wanted. The Glamster, despite its cringeworthy name, perfectly blends a classic, smooth, uncluttered and clean shell with twenty first century functionality. The shell employs Shoei’s legendary, multi-composite, AIM shell that it uses on all its high-end helmets, meaning that no compromises have been made from a safety and protection standpoint. Like all modern Shoei helmets, the cheekpads and headlinings can be changed to allow the helmet to be custom fitted to a rider. The helmet comes with credible venting that works in the way venting should, a proper seal around the visor to prevent noise and rain ingress, and a top-of-the-range Pinlock in the box. The chin strap fastens by means of a double-d ring, as befits a classic helmet, and in the box you will get a chin curtain to reduce noise levels for longer journeys. This is the helmet that the retro market has been waiting for and, along with the Arai Rapide Neo, it means that those wanting to ride a classic bike, a cruiser, a retro, a custom bike, or indeed any kind of ‘cool’ sit up bike, will now be able to ride in a helmet that not only looks the part, but that is also going to be both comfortable and safe to ride in. As ever, if you want your Glamster to be properly and professionally, custom fitted, come and see us in Guildford.
