The neo-retro road helmet Shoei Glamster06 - Style for Miles

The Shoei Glamster06 is the stylish helmet for riders who are looking for a classic retro look, yet don't want to sacrifice modern features.

Its compact AIM fiberglass helmet shell made of multiple fiber materials, the classically shaped visor, the novel visor mechanism and the stylish ventilation inlets give this helmet an authentic look.

As with all current Shoei helmets, the inner lining is completely removable and washable.

Its minimal weight makes it equally popular for both male and female riders.

AIM outer shell (Advanced Integrated Matrix)

The Shoei helmet shell is a three-dimensional structure made of several layers of glass fibers and organic fibers - the so-called Advanced Integrated Matrix. The organic fibers reinforce the glass fibers and optimize weight.

The structure is bonded by an unsaturated, thermosetting polyester resin. This resin acquires its desired properties during heat curing: high elasticity and resistance. This technology allows a helmet shell characterized by high strength with low weight.

The AIM helmet shell is designed to distribute the forces acting during an impact over the helmet shell. The outer shell and inner core may show damage, but the rider's head is afforded the greatest possible protection.

Heavy, hard outer shells do not have this property and transfer the energy of an impact to the inside of the helmet without reduction. The outer shell may be undamaged, but the rider suffers head injuries. This is especially true of helmets designed to resist penetration by sharp objects.

Two factors determine the perceived weight of a helmet: the real weight of the helmet and the dynamic weight caused by wind pressure and acceleration.

In the event of an impact, the real weight is decisive for the acceleration forces acting on the neck.

The heaviest part of a helmet is the helmet shell. Because the helmet shell is also the part that is subjected to the most stress during a fall, the requirements for a lightweight helmet shell are complex.

Shoei's vast experience in processing fiber composites has enabled it to develop the extremely strong yet lightweight AIM and AIM+ helmet shells.

Polystyrene inner shell with multiple densities

Every Shoei helmet sold in Europe has an inner shell adapted to the European head shape.

The combination of several styrofoam elements in different densities provides effective impact absorption.

• The upper part of the inner shell is softer than the outer part.
• The relatively hard outer part of the inner shell increases the absorption capacity in the event of an impact.

This technology was developed and patented by Shoei.

Styrofoam has very good shock absorption properties. However, there is one drawback: if the Styrofoam core is compressed by an impact, it will expand back to its original size after a considerable amount of time. It looks intact, but by no means achieves the same shock absorption properties as before.

This is also the reason why Shoei does not test helmets after an accident. It is impossible to judge whether the helmet is still safe.

Wearing comfort and fit

The shape and material of the pads play an important role in the comfort and fit of the helmet.

• The material that touches the rider's skin is critical to comfort.
• The fit of the helmet affects how well the helmet holds the rider, especially at high speeds.

In the past, these requirements often played against each other. Thick, soft pads provided good comfort, but the helmet did not have a good grip at high speeds.

Shoei has taken its own approach to designing the padding. The helmet's styrofoam core is molded close around the rider's head. This allows thinner pads to be used. These are produced in a complex process from several layers of polyurethane foam in different hardnesses or by a three-dimensional cut from a block.

The result offers high comfort and a perfect fit, even at high speeds.

The closure system

Currently, Shoei offers two different closure systems for the chin strap, depending on the helmet model.

The double-D system is mainly used in Shoei's "sporty" helmets. This system is mandatory for racing helmets. It offers the greatest reserves in the event of a fall.

Shoei's more comfort-oriented helmet models are equipped with a microratchet system. Unlike most other systems, the Shoei microratchet system has a stainless steel locking mechanism. This ensures maximum safety in addition to comfort.

The Shoei Visor System

All Shoei visors are injection molded from polycarbonate. This guarantees a clear and distortion-free view.

The visor protects against small foreign bodies and absorbs 99% of of UV rays.

The non-mirrored visors have a scratch-resistant coating.

All current visors are equipped with Shoei's Q.R.B.P. system, which allows easy change without tools.

Note

• All helmets will be delivered only with the ECE certification by default, even if it is shown differently.
• All helmets that have a visor will be delivered with a clear visor, even if it is shown differently.
