Corsair V

[carraway]

I am in the market for a new helmet and am considering the Corsair V.  As the cost of this helmet somewhat breathtaking (only slightly less the the GDP for Canada) I thought it would be worthwhile to get some input from the Board.  I have read a few reviews and the reviews are positive but I would appreciate any thoughts...

Absolutely awesome.  I have the dark color and love it.  I have a hard to fit head and this is one of the only helmets that fits me right.  It also flows more air than any other helmet I have owned and the vents are easy (with a little practice) to open and close on the fly.   

The dark color does scuff easy though.

I have a Red one.

At 1st I didn't like it as much as my RX-7s but I have worn it the last 2 times out and it's fine.

I think it just needed to be broken in some.

I bought it online as I have most of my Helmets.

I wear usually a Large so that's what I ordered.

I seems very snug , but I guess that,s a good thing.

I wear a Helmet liner so I can't tell much about air flow but my head never gets too hot.

I recently bought a Corsair V medium and I'm liking it a lot.  My first helmet was a Quantum large and I slowly learned it wasn't the best fit for me.  Compared to my 7 yr old Quantum, the Corsair feels lighter (though isn't) and definitely flows more air.  It may or may not be louder, I usually wear earplugs, I'd say it's more whooshy than whistley. I love the dry-cool fabric on the interior, feels nice.

Small bits on the con side: The rear vents aren't as easy to open/close with gloves, and it's easier for me to forget which position is open/closed.  The spoiler wing is a mystery to me...  I don't know how up is different from down, let alone all 5 positions.  It is very stable though.

The first few days I thought I had made a mistake with the medium, major squish face, but with a BOSEG it's broken in nicely.

The stickers on my solid race red were on top of the paint so they can be peeled easily if so desired.

I had a Corsair V that I wrecked in.  Great helmet, moved a ton of air, but it's LOUD and I found changing the visor a little finicky.  I got a Shoei X-11 as a replacement, but when it's time for a new helmet I'll probably go with the RF-1100.

Ive only owned 1 other helmet in my life (Shoei) and dont think I will ever own anything else. The Corsairs do tend to be louder than some of their other models but have more features. Fit and quality are superb! I highly recommend being sized for a helmet before throwing down your cash!
