http://www.revzilla.com/touring-helmets Touring Motorcycle Helmets come in a handful of shapes and sizes from a multitude of brands. At RevZilla.com, we classify a Touring Motorcycle helmet as one designed for long distance riding in primarily an upright position. Think about the riding position on a BMW R1200GS, a Honda Goldwing, Harley-Davidson or other comparable long distance ADV or Touring bike.

But I got watermelon instead

Give our Gear Geeks a call for specific advice. If you are just looking to snug up a size, 1 size thicker should do the trick. However, if you have actual space where the helmet is not touching your cheeks, I would consider 2-3 sizes. Keep in mind that cheekpads break in about 15%-20% after the first few weeks. -CK

Are swapping and sizing cheekpads in these helmets a trial and error kind of thing or is there some kind of guideline? At around $40-50 per cheekpad set it could get expensive to buy a set and then buy another set to see if its an improvement.

very-2 useful explaination. I bought (unfortunettly not from revzilla, sorry) my RX-Q because of this and the RX-Q Video. keep up the good work, guys.

Nice helmets but needs built in blootooth for phones and gps

These are excellent videos! Very helpful!! Tough decisions... :) thank you

@svengalie Thanks! We really appreciate the feedback.

"there'll be no soccer mom on the phone taking your order" ROFL!!!!

@2WheelEscapeArtist Hey Moto-dini - the Qwest is an intermediate oval with some extra room at them temples which round it off a bit. Its meant to be more forgiving. Its is well suited for balance and quiet for upright touring.

Absolutely the most informative guide to premium touring helmets. You know your stuff. Did you say the Qwest was traditional Shoei narrower fit? I like my Shoei TZ-R for comfort, but it's noisy. I've heard the Qwest is very quiet. Have you found it to be significantly better than others for noise level? Once again, thanks for the exceptional review.

@bazyli23 That's a toughy for me. The NOlan fit is too round for me personally. The Shoei qwest is slightly more oval and a better fit. However Nolan makes great lids and if the visor is a big selling point, you should be happy with the N43.

@benhizzle Thanks Ben. Happy to put some good information out into the world.

wow great video! What about Nolan helmets? I'm trying to decide which will better suits my needs : Nolan N85 or Shoei Qwest....Nolan has sun visor and I use it a lot on my N43 Air. Any opinion ?

Thanks Anthony, your videos are always a great help.
