Pitt Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 Sounds like good gear there mate. I went the cheap route for my first kit (apart from helmet - Shoei Qwest) - RST textiles which fell to bits in 6 months. These have now been replaced with Hein Gericke Gore-Tex, the difference in quality is immense.What's your opinion on the helmet? Shoei Qwest that is. Quote
getready Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I think the Qwest is a great helmet, I'm really happy with it. It fits me perfectly, is really comfy and is very quiet with the chin vent closed. With the chin vent open there is a whistle, but that's only to be expected. For comparison, I have worn my dad's Raid 2 (same size!) and the difference in noise levels is apparent - the Raid 2 develops a distinct noise around the sides at 45-50mph, whereas the Qwest does not.
