Shoei Qwest: Review

[cognosticator]

I don't understand why all helmets do not make better accommodations for eyeglasses.  I loved the Bell Star helmet but had to sell it as I could not get my glasses to work well with it.

Same for me, a shame too.

We bought my wife the Quest hoping it would be much quieter than her old scorpion exo 700. She cant seem to find earplugs that don't really bother her so the claim of the quest being very quiet was the main reason for the purchase... Unfortunately she says that there is no difference in noise so we are back to square one as far as making things more comfortable for her on long rides... We have purchased a sample pack of earplugs from a couple bike sites hoping to find "the one" that works for her but have yet to be successful... O well her scorpion was three years old so a replacement was about due anyway, just too bad it didn't work for her.

My wife and I use these and they work quite well...I have problems with standard earplugs because my left ear canal is very narrow and I can never get a plug to seat and seal properly...I found that putting on my helmet while the plugs set makes for a better fit and seal...
