Which helmet colour?
 

I am looking to buy a Shoei Qwest as it seems to tick all the boxes, and my XR1000 is over 4 years old now.

I have been looking and the range is limited, and I have previously always gone for patterned finish. However looking at the range I quite like the look of the plain one's especially the matte black, and the white.

Anyone seem any of them in the flesh as my local store is off limits because of the snow.

Also do plain helmets look pants?

IMO fella dont buy a matt black (anything).

It gets dirty quick, and cleaning usually makes more marks on the surface.

I had a viper helmet in matt black rode through some green flies and they made a pretty mess as they send to do. Anyway when wiping them off they pretty much killed the finish of the lid. Therefore IMHO avoid.

White. Statistically most noticeable lid colour, with fewest crashes

Get a white one with black and white bits on it.

You'd be amazed how fast people move over for you!

Yes Pete, but that might be more to do with your blue lights ;)

Never considered a white helmet before, but I guess as I am getting older, there are a few things other than "looks" to consider.
