Junk\u2019s Director of Business Operations and avid motorcycle enthusiast, to help with the hands-on portion of this overview by taking the RF-1100 for a cruise along the California coast. Here are Adrian\u2019s thoughts on the helmet: The six vents along the top of the helmet \u201cwork really well and flow a lot of air. Overall, the helmet is very comfortable, quiet and all the vents\/screens open with \u2018solidity\u2019 (it feels well made).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1542\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/racing-helmet-overview-shoeis-rf-1100\/shoei-rf-1100-hands-on\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"620,382\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D3100&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1382872958&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;720&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shoei RF-1100 Hands-On\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On-300x184.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1542\" alt=\"Shoei RF-1100 Hands-On\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Shoei-RF-1100-Hands-On-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The RF-1100 weighs 1,661 grams for the Large size and allows for full range of motion and full peripheral vision.
