To the best of my knowledge, most (if not all) the helmets with built-in slider shades are not legal for most (if not all) clubs. IF you plan on using it on track days, make sure it is either Snell certified or whatever rating on the helmet meets the club rules.

Yea its cool…mine was operated on the very top…that part was kinda annoying but all i had to was push a button and it would shoot up really quick. But i wanted to get a nicer helmet…thus the RF-1000

^ What model is that KBC? I presume its Snell certified.

![http://www.hjc-motorsports.com/images/products/ar10/side.jpg](http://www.hjc-motorsports.com/images/products/ar10/side.jpg)

I use a HJC AR-10 for track days and skippy stuff, should have gotten something with a chin spoiler but I am so short that the f2000 pretty much shields my whole head. Pretty nice helmet, IMO.

To be honest, I really don’t wanna spend that much for a new Shoei RF-1100, but I really like they have a shell size for xxs and xs. If I go with another HJC, I probably can save $100+ dollars…

P.S. Forgot ro add the AR-10’s shield mechanism sucks, other than that, its pretty good.

Its a VR2 mirage, I really like it alot… its very light and there isnt any wind noise at all but it does float a little when you pop up for the corner. All and all its a grate helmet, little pricey but its my head i dont care what i spend. I use it for both car and bike track days.

Got a Shoei RF1000, instead of the 1100. The $100 I save will help pay for my new sprocket and chain set…

So it turns out that Shoei had pulled all the RF1000 from their warehouse, so you can’t even order them anymore. Instead I will be getting a HJC FS-15 whcih is about half the price of the RF1000.
