After having other open face helmets I can say that this one excels in design and features. The shield is wide and locks into place with no chance of an unexpected lift. The open portion at the bottom of it provides just the right amount of air flow without bugs on your face. The inner liner detaches for washing and the fastening strap is padded so it doesn’t rub against your skin. Fit and finish are top notch as with any other Shoei product and it is also Snell approved which is quite a badge for an open face helmet. I am a big fan of Shoei… I also own an X-Eleven. They are the best. Expensive?…. Not at all !. It’s your noggin inside !!!.

I was a little nervous about ordering a helmet off the internet because of fit/finish, etc. I went to a local bike shop and tried on a few helmets and ultimately settled on the J-Wing to replace my 10 year old Shoei RJ-Air. I ordered through Amazaon and saved about $40 off retail not including tax.
The helmet itself works great. It feels a little more snug than my old RJ-Air. This is probably due to my old helmet being pretty worn out but also because the J-Wing has more padding in the cheek area and around the ears. I also suffer far less buffeting than with my old helmet. I usually ride with the face shield up, but, when I’m riding toward the sun or when its cold the face shield does a very credible job of either knocking the glare and/or reducing the cold draft. Overall, I couldn’t be happier.
