The Hornet-DS has one of<br />
the most advanced ventilation<br />
systems ever found on a<br />
motorcycle helmet. With four<br />
intake and three exhaust vents,<br />
the Hornet-DS is up to the task<br />
of keeping a rider cool and<br />
dry in even the most extreme<br />
conditions.<br />
The stylish nose cover on the Hornet-DS is<br />
equipped an internal deflector mechanism<br />
that forces fresh air upward to help prevent<br />
fogging of the shield. The nose cover vent<br />
is also equipped with a shutter to enable<br />
to user to shut the vent if they choose to.<br />
The nose cover vent is easy to remove and<br />
disassemble, making cleaning easy.<br />
The Hornet-DS is equipped<br />
with two Cross Vortex exhaust<br />
vents and a neck outlet that are<br />
positioned to take advantage<br />
of low air pressure zones at the<br />
rear of the helmet that work to<br />
draw hot air from the helmet.<br />
The peak on the Hornet-DS is actually part of the ventilation system<br />
of the helmet. The visor is positioned slightly higher on the top of the<br />
helmet than a typical off road helmet for optimal visibility. The wedge<br />
shape visor was designed in <strong>Shoei</strong>’s in-house wind tunnel to reduce<br />
uncomfortable wind resistance and buffeting. The reduction of drag and<br />
lift help eliminate neck fatigue and keep the rider more comfortable.<br />
The chin curtain prevents wind from entering the bottom of the<br />
helmet, reducing noise and increasing comfort on cold days.
