Loud helmets are louder than quiet helmets while wearing earplugs as well.

I have a Shoei- shaped head, although I’ve enjoyed an Arai helmet or two. My current full face is a Shoei X14, and it is comfortable and of high quality. I particularly love the Transitions visor, which darkens and lightens per conditions, and has superb optical quality.
I have a Schubert’s C3 modular, quiet and solid, but after an hour plus, the pressure point on the forehead gets me. I’m about to buy an AGV Sport Modular or a KLIM 1200 modular, both seem to fit my specs.

Is the transitions shield worth the price? It’s almost three times the cost of a standard shield. I wear prescription glasses and have both regular and sunglasses but carrying the extra pair and changing between them can be a pain on a bike. Considering the transitions shield but $170 is tough to justify.

The transitions shield is fantastic. If it were available for every helmet, I’d buy it every time. Optics and functionality top notch, especially for an eyeglass wearer like me. Worth it.

Capo, need some more feedback about transition shield
...so if I buy Shoei x14 will it come with the transition shield or I will have to pay extra for it and it fits Shoei x14, or some other Shoei as well, correct??
Said that, does your helmet has one clear and one 2nd transition shield behind each other, or ONE transition shield ONLY???, send pics, please.
Shoei is my favorite helmet

I bought a transition pinlok insert for my shoei qwest visor.
They don’t sell it in the U.S.- had to have it shipped from overseas.
Love it.

Transitions is extra cost, and worth every penny. Bell has a line of helmets that come with the transition shield.

If I can get an actual qwest transition shield instead of just the pinlok insert- point me in the right direction.

It doesn’t show it for the Qwest though. Neither does the Shoei site for North America.

Maybe it's not available for the Qwest?
