how is the wind sound at 70mph? I never saw this helmet but I made the same thing with a 3/4 helmet, with a Bluetooth speaker and mic, and a pair of goggles with hard mask looks the same the only problem is at interstate speeds the wind is too loud to hear my music Can you confirm how loud the wind sound is at around 70mph? Thanks.
Most of the WWII style half-helmets are a novelty item and not actually DOT rated. There are a few exceptions, but we don't currently carry anything of this nature. Sorry for the disappointment! I think the Shark Raw is the closest you'll find on our website. -CK
I got the mat black model and it looks amazing. Everyone so far has commented on how awesome and badass it looks. It's certainly the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn and love the quick release goggle system.
This looks so great, as a film maker this is a prop I want so very much. With the logos taken off, it's the perfect 21st century top-secret strike team helmet, and the fact you can take the front cover off very easily means you could replace it with a gas mask with no trouble at all.
I love these reviews with the product in use on the bike. Exactly what we want to see. Look, feel, construction. Paints a great picture for perspective buyers!
I have one and it's glossy black. Great fit and looks so damn good. Very little wind noise at higher speeds and very little lift. I highly recommend it!!!!
Thank you so much for your thorough review. I wasn't sure as to how to attach the straps for the goggles to the helmet. I was going to pull the side pods off but knowing my strength, I didn't want to damage my brand new helmet. Seeing you has given me the confidence to move on ahead - especially as there were no instructions as to how to do this. Great job!
I've been using the Shark Raw for more than 6 months - it is a comfortable and good looking helmet. I live/ride in Cambodia, where everyday, and i do mean every day, is 30-35c++. I ride with the stripped down open face helmet configuration when riding around Phnom Penh, and the full goggles and face protector when riding down to Kep and Kampot etc. I wear optical glasses and sunglasses and the Carl Zeiss goggles accommodate them pretty well. It's true that the on/off procedure for the goggles is a bit fussy, but it is secure. All up - it's a good product - love the Soyouz version.
Hi Stephen, I would like to know more about the vision/visibility. I've read several reviews and most of them complained about the visibility which is about 15-20% narrower. Is it a problem for you? especially riding in Cambodia where the roads are more crowded and bikes are all over the place.
I had a matte black one that i wore daily for over two years. I regularly rotated the goggles to the forehead area of the helmet and the foam liner never came unglued and didn’t seem to have any wear. The foam looks cheap but is very good quality. My favorite helmet that I have had so far. Picked it up for a little over $280. I also received a lot of complements when wearing it.
I watched the video from Shark's website. An important detail that was missed is that the goggle separates along the side of the goggle and strap. So you do not have to take it off from the side of the helmet per say. Not sure if that made sense but watch the video right off of Shark's website. It is in the first 10 seconds.
I bought this helmet and I'm overall happy with it but, there are a few things that it could really improve upon. 1st. Pulling the plug leaves you with a lot of wind noise going through the air channels and it was almost like there was nothing covering my ears, it was literally that loud. 2nd. The mouth guard is cool but, you can accidentally pop it off if you grab it wrong and the way it attaches is a pretty poor design that leaves you wishing they took the Bell approach to the mouth guard. Overall the helmet is very comfortable and it the goggles don't really fog up at all which is great if you're used to a full face helmet and tried to ride in the rain with the shield down. Also, the helmet is more fighter pilot than the army styling of the Bell product and as such, it actually gives you a little more protection on the cheeks as this is essentially a 3/4ths helmet and the Bell is a half helmet with a plastic molding. Oh and the Goggles have a slight angle downward so, the Rain does move a little bit better than the straight on Goggles you might be used to (I used to wear a pair over my glasses) so, these Goggles are great.
Okay, so this thing isn't going to form an impenetrable defense around your head, and there are certainly better safety options out there.... ... but I'm not gonna lie, it looks awesome. I'd almost consider it more applicable for cosplay and the like. It's got some sort of semi-futuristic paratrooper kinda look to it. Almost reminds me of something the Marines would use in the Halo series, or the more recent Call of Duty games. I'm kinda paranoid about safety so this would probably never be my first choice for actually riding; that would almost definitely be a full-face helmet. That being said, it's certainly got style.
Love the Shark Raw.....still toying with the idea of adding it to my already too large collection. I was really surprised that the field of vision was so good too. The only thing that stops me buying it is the fact that it's an open faced lid ( ooops, sorry " lid " a Yorkshire U.K word for helmet ) ;) lol. Gotta say while I am here, thanks for your fantastic vids Anthony !! I work in a bike clothing and accessories showroom here in the U.K and although I ride myself, it quickly became apparent how much there is to learn.....you have helped me massively with your hugely informative and to the point content. Infact.....my working day wouldn't be complete without a " Hey, this is Anthony from Revzilla.com " lol Thanks again :D
love the look of the helmet, however I ride a Honda fury and don't think it would look ride when I ride. Loved that you guys showed a clip of someone riding with the helmet, you should do it more often.
I've got this very helmet, and it's CRAP. It looks extremely cool but totally unpractical. Do not get this if you plan to ride more than 100 km/h. Unless your bike has a good windscreen you will experience the helmet pushing down on your nose causing an itching feeling and general discomfort from the visor. I guess it will be OK for city driving. Don't get this if you plan to long distance, open road or off road or if you plan to drive faster than 100 km/h for anything more than 10 minutes. The positive about the helmet is that it is extremely lightweight and one can exchange the visor plate. Once I got over the ultra cool looks I regretted paying for this, that was about a week or so after I bought it. Forget about the looks of a helmet, get something that fits your head well, full face protection and lightweight. Go for practical not looks.
My own experience exactly. Plus, the side disks covering the place where the goggles are fixed to the helmet have a tendency to become lose and fall off - it's the weakest point of the whole design. This helmet is more suited for big scooters than bikes.
@@jgcapers3860 It was total waste of money. I couldn't ride at night because it was too dark. My older brother borrowed it from me, his dogs mangled it. Result $100's wasted.
I love the look of it but the protection level just wouldn't do it for me. I always ride in a full face because I know that if my chin goes down then I have that protection. With this, that face guard would just disintegrate along with my jaw.
Nurali Kushkov It's an awesome helmet. I have to point out that this helmet is more of cruiser helmet, not for the highway unless you enjoy the wind noise. I'll be getting ear plugs soon. I use it as a secondary helmet but I can say that this helmet is a major attention getter. I have a video of me riding around with it, you could check it out to see how it looks. Hope this helps! :)
Just recieved my Shark RAW (Matte Black) Helmet in the mail. Pretty impressed with it, solid construction, quality components etc... I see myself wearing this helmet on the more hotter days of summer. I'll use my full face Arai VECTOR for the highway etc... I must say that this is a very fair review.
Toast No I haven't. I use my Arai full face helmet 95% of the time. The Shark RAW is cool but at night you get a glare from oncoming cars headlight's. it kinda sucks..
+Sideler74 How does it feel at higher speeds? Can you still breath properly at 180km/h - 110 mph or does it knock the wind out of you? And how noisy is it at these speeds?
SupermarokkaanMo @ 100+mph it's ok. I just have a hard time dealing with ghost images/glare of oncoming cars headlights at night. It's really annoying.
I have this helmet and I wear small eye glasses without any problem. You can ride in the night because it not too dark the goggles. It is a little noise over 40-45mph. I wear earplugs for that reason.
The foam would be fine if the goggles get pulled away, up, then ease onto the helmet. Don't drag with one hand. I do this trick all the time with my snowboard setup and it's still like new.
Just bought the Shark Raw Soyouz version. I have to say, I love this helmet. Very stylish, and comfortable. I must say, I have gotten some dirty looks due to the position and style of the star on the front, people have actually asked me if I support the USSR. LOL! I really wanted to find a "Star Wars Rebel X-wing" DOT approved helmet, none exist from my extensive searching. Thinking about repainting the Shark to rebel colors.
I love the look, but I don't think I would wear it personally - I prefer a nice full face. I don't love the fact that you have to stop riding and put a rubber plug in the vent to block the airflow, I like to dial in my airflow on the fly.
The inbuilt goggles are a great idea, that's the one thing that the bell rogue lacks in comparison. Still doesn't make it much easier to pick between the two, both look great. Think I might buy this one though over the rogue as I ride in all weather's and this helmet seems more complete with those goggles. Love the fighter pilot look of it too.
RevZilla That can be arranged :D Unfortunately I can't buy it from you guys, as in Australia the helmets we wear have to have the Australian Standards sticker on them. It's a ridiculous requirement because it means that it's impossible for Australian riders to source their helmets from overseas (and actually use them), even when those helmets are identical to ones bought here (and might I add, cheaper), the only difference being one has a DOT sticker and the other an Australian Standard sticker. Still, I've got a list of other goodies I'm checking out on RevZilla (awesome range!).
I am very interested in this helmet. Is each shell size different for different size helmets or did they use the same shell and use different size interior foam and cheek pads?
How well will the goggles fit if you have a big conk, nose that is. my nose is what some people would call a typical large English nose. Not like a Roman nose, that is high at the bridge of the nose. Mine is more on the side of being longer, if you know I mean. Hope understand what I am talking about? Thanks.
hi RevZilla Team - is there any "retro" or "WWII" style helmet-line, available? I'm using a custom bobber bike, I would like to find some helmet to fit old-fashion-clothing (looking as M1 Helmet for 101 Airborne (for Army khaki jacket) or any German half-face helmet (for black leather jacket). Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks a lot for great video/reviews. cheers!
The Shark Vancore uses the same goggles... the stock lens is very good, but the quality of the rest is awful. The sponge came out in TWO WEEKS on mine. Tried to have them fixed by the dealer but I should have sent back the helmet too... why?! I kept them as they were. Also, the replacement lens are very expensive and extremely easy to ruin. Another trouble I had, the inside is easy to remove and wash but once you remove it, put it back in place will be a problem. Do you guys see in the forehead zone those tiny teeth that keep the inside of the helmet in place? Once you pull them out, they won't be able to stay in place once you put them back in. The Vancore is still my favorite looking helmet, but the quality of these parts is just a joke.
this is very stylish for a street bike, cafe racer and some small customs, it looks a lot like the boxer from Roof, which is like a jet helmet, I don't think someone with a scooter would use it, and naked bikes are pretty fast for a open face, think about the z1000, guy need a lot of guts to use it... so it's very, very limited and it's a already covered field, but it's a long awaited attractive design that innovates the market, it will sell well.
Hmm, maybe I'm wrong then, I was thinking about modern scooters like the majesty, goldenwing, not vintage scooters... I can see now, vintage would be awesome, old' rockers used vespas and "lambrettas"..
I ride a Sachs Madass 125 and this helmet looks really great on it!!!!! ASDFAF Sorry... I've just bought it yesterday so... I think im a little too excited about it... LOL

Hi Revzilla, I have a question, can you use your own goggles with this helmet? Also on a side note, would be nice that you guys look for the Roof Boxer Helmet to do a review and distribute them if possible, it's really nice and very comfy helmet. I have one, but haven't found any retailer here in the US. Thanks for the time you take to read and replay my message.
+Emmanuel Garduño The Roof Boxer isn't DOT-approved for sale in the US, so until that approval happens, we won't have Roof. As for goggles, you really can't use your own. You'll notice that the Shark Raw goggles are shaped exactly to fit the helmet opening. Also, the lower face mask attaches to the Shark Raw goggles. If you want to use your own goggles, you might as well get a more traditional 3/4 open face helmet like the Bell Custom 500 or Biltwell Bonanza. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/bell-custom-500-helmets *www.revzilla.com/biltwell-bonanza-helmets
This is my Gut reaction, it reminds me of the Maxillofacial shield & helmets worn by a US Army UH-60 Blackhawk Crew chiefs. They are pretty bad ass so i can see why shark wanted to replicate that.
Jose's Donuts The SMH10R will work with the Shark Raw helmet. However, you may need to mount the unit on the outside of the back of the helmet becasue it's a tight fit in the back EPS liner slot. -Hi-Viz Brian
I'd love to have this or the Harley one but I'm flaky on it. Seems like if you get sent on a good slide and your face ends up look8ng at the street that mask is going to be a memory. I'll stick to the full solid no bs helmets. May be before my time but they are still around for a reason. Someone should pick the skully back up
I'd pick the hakka S3 over this any day. I've worn this around the shop for 10-15 minutes and it begins to get constrictive around the nose n lower jaw.
hetisjechillerboyjwz The Shark Raw is not very good for glasses, but if you have smaller glasses frames, it might be ok. I wear glasses, and I cannot wear the Raw comfortably. Instead, I prefer a full-face helmet. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla The law says we're not allowed to wear ANYTHING tinted at night in the U.K ! We're even ( supposed to ) have a clear visor on us during the day if wearing a tinted/dark visor !! Very rarely do you get stopped and checked though. Love you guys....as a returning biker....I was amazed how much things have changed and have learned so much from you all.....thanks 😀
RevZilla I should add " as a returning biker that took a job in a motorcycle clothing and accessories store " !! OMG.....how things have changed....it was a huge learning curve for me.....and nobody had time to mentor me !! Thanks to You Tube and YOU guys.....I now get people recommending others that they come to our showrooms because there's this lass ( a Yorkshire word for female of any age ) lol and apparently she really knows her stuff and will help get them the appropriate kit !! :O Well I am the only female there so they must mean me !! :O ;) lol Thanks guys...keep the vids coming !! :D P.s have Shark changed the name of the Raw in the U.S too !!??
+jeffrey wind It really depends on the full-face helmet to which it's being compared, but I'll say that the Shark Raw is about average for helmet noise. -DrewZilla
sha3sha3y That's a tough question. It's safer than a half helmet, but not a full face. At track day speeds, I recommend a full face helmet, but for urban commuting, it's a great option. What's your riding style? -Hi-Viz Brian
Are the shell sizes noticably different? My local bike shop sells the raw but doesn't have size medium in stock, I tried size large on to see how it would look though and I found it looked way too big. I'm no Lou Ferigno so I kinda prefer the streamlined look. Thanks!
You came to the right place. The Orange helmet is the largest shell size. The Black helmet is the smallest shell size. -Hi-Viz Brian * i.imgur.com/TmPedeX.jpg * i.imgur.com/PaLxzGf.jpg
Thanks a lot man, I didn't even expect to be answered. It doesn't look like there's much of a size difference though, I'll just wear like ten sweaters. Thanks again!
Hey guys. been waiting to pull the trigger on the Vancore and it has the same goggles on this one. You didn't mention the field of vision on this video but I see a few other reviewers mentioning them in theirs. Figured I'd get your response on this. Is the field of vision really that narrow?
+Faris Hadi Yes, the field of vision is narrow, but that's what you get with goggles. The main point of the helmet is a cool style, not field of view. -DrewZilla
Thx for the nice explanation. Maybe a little to fast spoken, what makes it trickey to follow you, if your not great in english. But overall a good detailed presentation of the helmet.
christian corona You simply remove the goggles from the helmet, then carefully pull the flexible goggle frame apart from the lens. You then insert the new lens and carefully reattach the goggle frame. -DrewZilla
Hey Revzilla, could you please inform us about the shell sizes ? Which helmet size(s) correspond to which shell size ? If i had to take a guess, the 1st shell size would correspond to sizes XS-M while the 2nd one to L-XL, would that be correct ? I usually wear a medium and i'd like to avoid the dreaded "bobblehead " look... Much appreciated.
Are there any major bike stores that might sell this helmet?? I wanna give it a fit to make sure I get the right size. My head seems good on small HJCs but too snug with some Bells
It fits like most small HJCs, so I'd recommend size small. I can't say whether any local shops sell it though. -DrewZilla *www.revzilla.com/shark-raw-helmets
Gyandeep Malla Thanks for reaching out to us! We do ship certain items internationally. For more information on our international shipping policies, check out our International Shipping Policies page below. -Hi-Viz Brian * www.revzilla.com/international-orders
It will depend on the dimensions. Have you ever tried wearing your glasses with motocross, snowboarding or paintball goggles? The fit will be similar. -Hi-Viz Brian
I have normal framed glasses behind mine and honestly, there's very little issue with them at all. I think the biggest issue is with the ear pads not letting them settle right on your nose but it isn't something that prevents you from wearing them and it isn't enough to make them uncomfortable.
Hi Revzilla, need your opinions.... Will you recommend it for let's say 30 mins ride under hot summer condition daily? And how about wear and tear factors? Is it durable or do we have to keep getting replacements parts? Ride safe and Enjoy the ride. Cheers.
Yes, it's fine for a 30 minute ride in hot summer conditions. The most wear and tear would be from the goggle straps, but they are pretty durable. -DrewZilla
my big head is measuring 23 inches wich is in the exact middle between M and L sizes, im afraid medium would fit too tight and L would be loose, so from your pesepective, wich size should i purchase? should i go with size M having 0.2 inches on the tight side or would it be better go with the L giving 0,2 inches loose?
+REACTORVISUAL Based on your measurement, we recommend you stick with the size medium, as it should loosen a bit over time. If you start with a loose size large, it won't fit properly. -DrewZilla
i love my raw but i never would have got it if i knew that the evoline moovit helmets would be the exact same price on cyber monday. also kinda pissed about the vancore coming out as i would much rather have that than the raw.
Yes, the goggles make it more difficult. Some smaller framed glasses will manage, but anything with a thicker frame will not be comfortable. -CK
how is the wind sound at 70mph? I never saw this helmet but I made the same thing with a 3/4 helmet, with a Bluetooth speaker and mic, and a pair of goggles with hard mask looks the same the only problem is at interstate speeds the wind is too loud to hear my music
Can you confirm how loud the wind sound is at around 70mph? Thanks.
Are there clear goggles for night riding?
All you have to do is get yourself a spetnaz uniform, make yourself a couple of Cluster Charges and you're good to go!

I personally think the cafe style helmets look dumb but this helmet is badass. I would never take the goggle and mouthpiece off.

I tested the raw today. My big nerdy glasses fit inside the helmet !
Looks like fuse from rs6
just what i thought

Looks like the Russian assault soilder from BF4... I love it!
You should check out the one with Russian writing on it!

I like that the different configurations make it useful for warm and colder weather as well as changes up the look.
I bought one for myself, matte black!! Creates that "wow" factor everywhere I go with my custom bike... ;) Amazing helmet!!
Great review but it wasnt really clear if its rated as an open face or not.
snuurtje Yes, it's rated as an open-face helmet. -Hi-Viz Brian
Would glasses become a problem with those goggles? Or is there enough space ?
Do the goggles work well if you wear glasses? It seems like it might be uncomfortable with glasses on.
I have sold a few to people that wear glasses and they haven't had a problem. But it often can depend on your glasses. Try one. :)
It really depends on the glasses, but as Dee said, you have to try it. -DrewZilla
The foam would be fine if the goggles get pulled away, up, then ease onto the helmet. Don't drag with one hand. I do this trick all the time with my snowboard setup and it's still like new.

It looks cool, some call of duty "badassery" to ride a z1000 on the city but if offers little to no protection.
where can i buy the bluetooth attachment?
Just bought the Shark Raw Soyouz version. I have to say, I love this helmet. Very stylish, and comfortable. I must say, I have gotten some dirty looks due to the position and style of the star on the front, people have actually asked me if I support the USSR. LOL! I really wanted to find a "Star Wars Rebel X-wing" DOT approved helmet, none exist from my extensive searching. Thinking about repainting the Shark to rebel colors.
I love the look, but I don't think I would wear it personally - I prefer a nice full face. I don't love the fact that you have to stop riding and put a rubber plug in the vent to block the airflow, I like to dial in my airflow on the fly.
The inbuilt goggles are a great idea, that's the one thing that the bell rogue lacks in comparison. Still doesn't make it much easier to pick between the two, both look great. Think I might buy this one though over the rogue as I ride in all weather's and this helmet seems more complete with those goggles. Love the fighter pilot look of it too.
Good choice. The only thing we require at the time of purchase is acknowledgement that Top Gun is an amazing movie. -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla That can be arranged :D Unfortunately I can't buy it from you guys, as in Australia the helmets we wear have to have the Australian Standards sticker on them. It's a ridiculous requirement because it means that it's impossible for Australian riders to source their helmets from overseas (and actually use them), even when those helmets are identical to ones bought here (and might I add, cheaper), the only difference being one has a DOT sticker and the other an Australian Standard sticker. Still, I've got a list of other goodies I'm checking out on RevZilla (awesome range!).
Is it possible to wear glasses under the googles? Thx
Yes, it's possible to wear glasses, but it can be uncomfortable for some. -DrewZilla
So these lenses look smoked. will this be a problem riding at night? I do a lot of that. also can you where the mask without the lenses?
Did you have any problems with lifting googles up in middle of the ride (while you where riding)
I am very interested in this helmet. Is each shell size different for different size helmets or did they use the same shell and use different size interior foam and cheek pads?
now if they made the goggle retract when the pull it out
then to remove it turn the retract away from were it pulls to unlock
How well will the goggles fit if you have a big conk, nose that is. my nose is what some people would call a typical large English nose. Not like a Roman nose, that is high at the bridge of the nose. Mine is more on the side of being longer, if you know I mean. Hope understand what I am talking about? Thanks.
It should still be ok, but goggle fit is very personal. It's worth trying one on. -DrewZilla
I just got this helmet in white and love it. I’m strongly considering having stripes painted on it to replicate Martini Racing livery.
hi RevZilla Team - is there any "retro" or "WWII" style helmet-line, available? I'm using a custom bobber bike, I would like to find some helmet to fit old-fashion-clothing (looking as M1 Helmet for 101 Airborne (for Army khaki jacket) or any German half-face helmet (for black leather jacket). Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks a lot for great video/reviews. cheers!
The Shark Vancore uses the same goggles... the stock lens is very good, but the quality of the rest is awful. The sponge came out in TWO WEEKS on mine. Tried to have them fixed by the dealer but I should have sent back the helmet too... why?! I kept them as they were. Also, the replacement lens are very expensive and extremely easy to ruin. Another trouble I had, the inside is easy to remove and wash but once you remove it, put it back in place will be a problem. Do you guys see in the forehead zone those tiny teeth that keep the inside of the helmet in place? Once you pull them out, they won't be able to stay in place once you put them back in. The Vancore is still my favorite looking helmet, but the quality of these parts is just a joke.
Fuze: cluster charge going up!
Hostage: 😃✊🔪
this is very stylish for a street bike, cafe racer and some small customs, it looks a lot like the boxer from Roof, which is like a jet helmet, I don't think someone with a scooter would use it, and naked bikes are pretty fast for a open face, think about the z1000, guy need a lot of guts to use it... so it's very, very limited and it's a already covered field, but it's a long awaited attractive design that innovates the market, it will sell well.
I ride scooters I will use it. my whole club would be into this vintage scooter people will be into this!
Hmm, maybe I'm wrong then, I was thinking about modern scooters like the majesty, goldenwing, not vintage scooters... I can see now, vintage would be awesome, old' rockers used vespas and "lambrettas"..
I ride a Sachs Madass 125 and this helmet looks really great on it!!!!! ASDFAF
Sorry... I've just bought it yesterday so... I think im a little too excited about it... LOL
What yall really need to do is get a guy with glasses to do helmet reviews. . .
OmgItzThatCool Person
Not as if almost 75% of adults wear glasses.
Hi Revzilla,
I have a question, can you use your own goggles with this helmet? Also on a side note, would be nice that you guys look for the Roof Boxer Helmet to do a review and distribute them if possible, it's really nice and very comfy helmet. I have one, but haven't found any retailer here in the US. Thanks for the time you take to read and replay my message.
+Emmanuel Garduño The Roof Boxer isn't DOT-approved for sale in the US, so until that approval happens, we won't have Roof. As for goggles, you really can't use your own. You'll notice that the Shark Raw goggles are shaped exactly to fit the helmet opening. Also, the lower face mask attaches to the Shark Raw goggles. If you want to use your own goggles, you might as well get a more traditional 3/4 open face helmet like the Bell Custom 500 or Biltwell Bonanza. -DrewZilla

This is my Gut reaction, it reminds me of the Maxillofacial shield & helmets worn by a US Army UH-60 Blackhawk Crew chiefs. They are pretty bad ass so i can see why shark wanted to replicate that.
can I put the sena smh10r instead of their proprietary shark tooth bluetooth system?
Jose's Donuts The SMH10R will work with the Shark Raw helmet. However, you may need to mount the unit on the outside of the back of the helmet becasue it's a tight fit in the back EPS liner slot. -Hi-Viz Brian
I'd love to have this or the Harley one but I'm flaky on it. Seems like if you get sent on a good slide and your face ends up look8ng at the street that mask is going to be a memory. I'll stick to the full solid no bs helmets. May be before my time but they are still around for a reason. Someone should pick the skully back up
suggestion pls.
will it look nice on vespa?
***** Definitely! -Hi-Viz Brian
I'd pick the hakka S3 over this any day. I've worn this around the shop for 10-15 minutes and it begins to get constrictive around the nose n lower jaw.
That's no good. Give our Gear Geeks a call at 1-877-792-9455 to troubleshoot the issue. -Hi-Viz Brian
Do they make transition style goggles for this for people who ride at night and day so you don't have to keep two sets of goggles?
No, there aren't photochromic goggles for this helmet unfortunately. -DrewZilla
Hi.. Just wanna check with u. Is the caberg duke the good quality helmet?
Hello, is this the same as the Shark Street Drak?
how much head protection does it provide. for the price will it be good
Will they be offering different lens tints?
I didn't know the mouthpiece was that flimsy. I think it looks badass, but I'd prefer a nolan outlaw, look cool, and get good protection.
Is it recommended to wear This helmet comfortably while wearing your own glasses underneath the special glasses belonging to the helmet?
hetisjechillerboyjwz The Shark Raw is not very good for glasses, but if you have smaller glasses frames, it might be ok. I wear glasses, and I cannot wear the Raw comfortably. Instead, I prefer a full-face helmet. -DrewZilla
Is this available right now please i really need this please
I always wear glasses and I don't have contacts, so I'm guessing I will not be able to use then right ??? (Because of goggles)
3:32 Lol the badassery.
does it fit to someone with glasse and the gogle on
It will work with glasses, as long as the arms of your glasses sit close to your temples. -DrewZilla
Will this look good when ur riding a quad bike?
+Ayzmz HD That's really subjective, but I've spoken to others who have used it for riding quads. -DrewZilla
The goggles seems to be a dark lens. Can you ride at night with it??
I don't know about the U.S but in the U.K they are now supplied with clear goggles and the tinted are available as an optional extra ! ;)
They're actually a very light tint, and they still do pretty well at night. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla The law says we're not allowed to wear ANYTHING tinted at night in the U.K ! We're even ( supposed to ) have a clear visor on us during the day if wearing a tinted/dark visor !! Very rarely do you get stopped and checked though. Love you guys....as a returning biker....I was amazed how much things have changed and have learned so much from you all.....thanks 😀
RevZilla I should add " as a returning biker that took a job in a motorcycle clothing and accessories store " !!
OMG.....how things have changed....it was a huge learning curve for me.....and nobody had time to mentor me !!
Thanks to You Tube and YOU guys.....I now get people recommending others that they come to our showrooms because there's this lass ( a Yorkshire word for female of any age ) lol and apparently she really knows her stuff and will help get them the appropriate kit !! :O
Well I am the only female there so they must mean me !! :O ;) lol
Thanks guys...keep the vids coming !! :D
P.s have Shark changed the name of the Raw in the U.S too !!??
What is the benefit and drawback of a 2011 zx10r having a 200 rear instead of a 190?
In general, the wider you go, the slower your "turn-in" speed. However, the wider you go, the larger your contact patch (to an extent). -Hi-Viz Brian
Hello does the helmet run small?
Does water come in if rain?
Is there a lot of noise difference at higher speeds beetween a full face helmet and this one?
+jeffrey wind It really depends on the full-face helmet to which it's being compared, but I'll say that the Shark Raw is about average for helmet noise. -DrewZilla
Is this safe to wear on a Supersport?
sha3sha3y That's a tough question. It's safer than a half helmet, but not a full face. At track day speeds, I recommend a full face helmet, but for urban commuting, it's a great option. What's your riding style? -Hi-Viz Brian
Are the shell sizes noticably different? My local bike shop sells the raw but doesn't have size medium in stock, I tried size large on to see how it would look though and I found it looked way too big. I'm no Lou Ferigno so I kinda prefer the streamlined look. Thanks!
You came to the right place. The Orange helmet is the largest shell size. The Black helmet is the smallest shell size. -Hi-Viz Brian

Thanks a lot man, I didn't even expect to be answered. It doesn't look like there's much of a size difference though, I'll just wear like ten sweaters. Thanks again!
Hey guys. been waiting to pull the trigger on the Vancore and it has the same goggles on this one. You didn't mention the field of vision on this video but I see a few other reviewers mentioning them in theirs. Figured I'd get your response on this. Is the field of vision really that narrow?
+Faris Hadi Yes, the field of vision is narrow, but that's what you get with goggles. The main point of the helmet is a cool style, not field of view. -DrewZilla
I wonder how the goggles handle glasses?
It depends on the glasses, but generally this helmet is not ideal for those who wear glasses. -DrewZilla
Any tests done on masei helmets for safety? How they react in a crash? Design is awesome but dont wanna die looking pretty
Pao Reno We don't carry Masei, so I can't say. Personally, I don't think a helmet with so many protrusions would be very safe. -DrewZilla
Thx for the nice explanation. Maybe a little to fast spoken, what makes it trickey to follow you, if your not great in english.
But overall a good detailed presentation of the helmet.
Since the goggles are slightly tinted, how's the visibility when you're riding at night?
+Oscar Leon The goggles are barely tinted, so visibility is slightly reduced at night. -DrewZilla
Cobra Commander would be really proud... omg best line.
Thank you for your informative videos.

How do i replace the goggle Lenses , I bought a different color one and i would like to know how to do it .
Thank you
christian corona You simply remove the goggles from the helmet, then carefully pull the flexible goggle frame apart from the lens. You then insert the new lens and carefully reattach the goggle frame. -DrewZilla
Hey Revzilla, could you please inform us about the shell sizes ? Which helmet size(s) correspond to which shell size ?
If i had to take a guess, the 1st shell size would correspond to sizes XS-M while the 2nd one to L-XL, would that be correct ?
I usually wear a medium and i'd like to avoid the dreaded "bobblehead " look...
Much appreciated.
+NinjaDog578 That is correct. The shell breakdown is XS-MD and LG-XL. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla
Much, much appreciated guys. cheers ;)
are there clear googles for this?
Are there any major bike stores that might sell this helmet?? I wanna give it a fit to make sure I get the right size. My head seems good on small HJCs but too snug with some Bells
It fits like most small HJCs, so I'd recommend size small. I can't say whether any local shops sell it though. -DrewZilla

What does this guy take in the morning?
i own a royal enfield its a cruiser bike does it suits on these cruiser bikes
+Asma Basnet It's all a matter of personal preference. It would be fine on an Enfield. -DrewZilla

Got one last year, very good; only the material on the visor around the eyes wears quickly

Im looking at getting one could I wear thin framed glasses behind the goggles?
It will depend on the dimensions. Have you ever tried wearing your glasses with motocross, snowboarding or paintball goggles? The fit will be similar. -Hi-Viz Brian
I have normal framed glasses behind mine and honestly, there's very little issue with them at all. I think the biggest issue is with the ear pads not letting them settle right on your nose but it isn't something that prevents you from wearing them and it isn't enough to make them uncomfortable.
Hi Revzilla, need your opinions....
Will you recommend it for let's say 30 mins ride under hot summer condition daily? And how about wear and tear factors? Is it durable or do we have to keep getting replacements parts?
Ride safe and Enjoy the ride. Cheers.
Yes, it's fine for a 30 minute ride in hot summer conditions. The most wear and tear would be from the goggle straps, but they are pretty durable. -DrewZilla
my big head is measuring 23 inches wich is in the exact middle between M and L sizes, im afraid medium would fit too tight and L would be loose, so from your pesepective, wich size should i purchase? should i go with size M having 0.2 inches on the tight side or would it be better go with the L giving 0,2 inches loose?
+REACTORVISUAL Based on your measurement, we recommend you stick with the size medium, as it should loosen a bit over time. If you start with a loose size large, it won't fit properly. -DrewZilla
i love my raw but i never would have got it if i knew that the evoline moovit helmets would be the exact same price on cyber monday. also kinda pissed about the vancore coming out as i would much rather have that than the raw.
It's possible mount bluetooth sistem ?
