Shoei VFX-W Dissent Helmet Shoeis extensive experience in off-road helmet design and manufacturing has led to the creation of a new standard in off-road helmets, the VFX-W. The aggressive shell design allows for a lightweight off-road helmet that offers incredible protection, form-fitting comfort, cooling ventilation and components that are easy to care for. Features Advanced Integrated Matrix Plus (AIM+) construction combines high performance fibers with organic fibers to create a shell structure that is lightweight, rigid and resilient Four shell and five liner sizes present increased fit options that help to comfortably fit most head sizes Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and rider testing Front intake vents combine with rear vents and a neck outlet vent to maximize flow-through ventilation Cool air passes through the front intake vents, cools the helmet interior and is exhausted through the rear vents by the force of negative air pressure The helmet interior is constructed with a comfortable, Max-Dry material that absorbs and discharges moisture two times faster than traditional nylon The 3D Max-Dry removable liner system is thermomolded to match the liner perfectly to the helmet interior The cheek pads, upper liner and chinstrap covers are easily removed for cleaning and/or replacement The removable cheek pads are available in optional sizes so that each rider can personalize their fit Aggressively shaped Sleek Visor provides incredible airflow for reduced drag Sleek visor is easily installed or removed with the use of three external screws for ease of access to center screw and tightening by hand No-clog Sleek Mouthpiece for enhanced flow-through ventilation Removable, washable and replaceable Sleek Mouthpiece filter Matte black anti-reflection for underside of visor is included (white and graphic models only) Unique chin strap clip keeps strap from flapping in the wind Ergonomically shaped mud guard Helmet sack constructed of soft, velvety fabric with drawstring closure Note Due to manufacturer restrictions, Shoei products can only be shipped to addresses within the United States

I wanted a helmet that I could have on for hours at a time and not feel my neck getting sore or any pain to my temple area. I found the PERFECT helmet. Received my VFX-W and went for a 4 hour ride. Never took off the helmet even when my buddies stopped to rest and took off their helmets. It felt like I was wearing a baseball hat. It is light and so comfortable.
If i could give 6 stars for comfort I would.

TCX X-Square Boots This boot wears like a shoe Great malleolus protection, light weight, and Italian styling make this a great choice for the casual rider, whether you're riding a Vespa or Ducati Monster. Upper composed of suede leather and Air Tech material Malleolous protection, back counter reinforcement and shift pad Double closure system with laces and Velcro for a better fit Anatomic and replaceable footbed Wear-resistant all uses sole
What are the correct size for the boots?
I Bit confuse with the sizing of the boots. I wear shoes or boots size 8 (UK size) or size 42 (EU size) or size 9 (US size). Can you advise me which size I need to choose for size 42 (EU), 8.5 or 9? Thanks
I would recommend the 43 in your case. Remember you can always make your foot a little bigger (a thicker sock) but you can't make your foot smaller.

Perf or non-perf?
Is there a big difference in temperature regulation between version perforated and non-perforated?
I live in Quebec and we have those rather cool days.
Thank you!

Perforated will be colder then non perforated in the winter. Perforated in the winter will let the cold wind come through the jacket. Perforated is a must to have in the summer. If you have to wear a perforated jacket in the winter you need to wear some thing under neath to help with the cold air coming in. Hope this answers your question.

Fresh, clean scented silicone detailer restores the factory shine Excellent for use as a polish, undercoat protectant and light lubricant Repels water and dries completely
Does this need to be buffed once sprayed on or do you just spray and let dry?
You can spray the SC1 on and leave it. You can also buff the SC1 with a dry clean soft cloth. If you are going to buff it you need to let the SC1 dry completely.

AGV AX-8 DS Helmet
I own a MX style helmet for riding my ATV, but unfortunately I have to wear glasses under my goggles, which I'm sure you can see the hassle in that. I have to put the helmet on, put on my glasses, then put on my goggles. I was wondering if the AGV AX-8 DS will solve my problems??? Will this helmet keep the dust out when I'm riding my ATV so I don't have to wear goggles anymore or will the dust build up on the inner part of the visor?
No helmet will keep out all the dust unless the helmet is attached to a neck gator. The AX-8 will do a good job of keeping out a lot of the dust. It's hard to say if it will be enough to not wear goggles
