The Hornet is an on and off road helmet, designed for use on all terrains and uniting the advantages of a full face helmet with those of an off road helmet. This means it is great for on and off the road, being the perfect symbiosis of design and function. The visor is a great look for the helmet and is also removable. Not only does the helmet look good, its aerodynamics keep it stable and secure at high speeds.

How to Measure
To find the right helmet size, measure all the way round your head at the widest point. Keep the tape measure above your ears and make sure that the tape measure is not too tight, nor too loose. Take your measurement in centimeters (cm), not inches.
Checking for Best Fit
When a new helmet is first worn, it should actually be slightly tight, with the interior coming into contact with most of the head, but not so restrictive that it causes any pain. There should be no "hot spots" - places where the helmet's interior puts pressure on specific points of the skull or face - but it should not move around freely. With time, a helmet will adjust to match the shape of the rider's head as it is worn and goes through "break-in" and loosens up a little. However, it should never become loose enough to easily turn from side to side.
Put the helmet on - it should be a little tight as it goes on over the head
The helmet should sit on the head evenly with the eye port's upper edge sitting just above the eyebrows and have good peripheral vision available to see side-to-side
Try putting a finger between the helmet interior and the head. If it easily fits, a smaller size should be tried next. Note that some helmet models allow for the cheek pads to be changed out for better fitment, so consider this too when checking for proper sizing
The on and off road helmet by Shoei, the Hornet, has a removable visor shield that ensures perfect aerodynamics and keeps the rider's face safe from flying dirt on off-road design. The wedge-shape design reduces drag at high speeds, whilst also diverting the airstream to the back of the helmet which reduces wind pressure. The 3D pinlock visor puts the finishing touch on the helmet's looks, ensuring excelling visibility and minimising reflective glare, combined with a sealing lip that was specially designed for this helmet providing a tight seal when the visor is closed. The inner liner is adapted to the shape of the head guarenteeing a safe and comfortable fit. The shell is constructed in AIM, with a modular EPS liner system with two densities, and the chin strap utilises the double-D-ring system.
