Shoei J-Cruise 2: The Shoei J-Cruise 2 helmet is the successor to the popular J-Cruise helmet. The original J-Cruise was one of the most advanced Open-Face Helmets available. Now with the Shoei J-Cruise II they made it even better, and like we're used to from Shoei helmets, they've done a great job. This helmet targets the urban rider who is looking for a high end Open-Face Touring helmet for daily use, that wants no compromise on comfort and safety. Its predecessor - the original J-cruise already offered a few nice features. It was the first Open face helmet with an internal sun visor that is certified as sunglasses according to European guidelines. The Visor Mechanism was also renewed on the J-Cruise Two. Sealing the visor better into shell. In order not to compromise on safety, they have not made the multi piece EPS liner thinner, but the outer shell has been raised to accommodate the internal sun shield. As expected from Shoei, this is a Top quality helmet with an AIM shell (Advanced Integrated Matrix) and an EPS inner shell with different densities for superior impact absorption. The outer shell comes in 4 different sizes (1 more than the previous J-Cruise) for a perfect helmet fit. Making the J-Cruise II more compact thanks to the several outer shell sizes. The helmet is prepared for both the SENA SRL1 and the SENA SRL-2 communication system which are also used by the Shoei Neotec 2 (modular) and the Shoei GT-Air 2 (full-face) respectively. Arai SZ-R VAS: The Arai SZ-R VAS is the latest open face helmet from Arai. It is a jet helmet from the top segment of Arai. Besides extreme safety, this helmet also offers optimal fit and comfort. The helmet has been renewed with a VAS design. The pivot point of the visor is lowered in order to extend the smooth helmet shell surface. This ensures that there is more chance of glancing off of an impact. The ventilation has been upgraded with better ventilation channels and larger, adjustable control buttons. This helmet is prepared for a Pro Shade external sun visor. The interior has also been renewed. It is antibacterial with a neutral acidity level that is close to the acidity of the human skin. Furthermore, this interior is prepared for the speakers of a communication system, without affecting comfort or fit.
