How and where does SHOEI quality originate
Are motorcycle helmets still just crash helmets or are they the upper part of a racer’s outer skin which is smothered by publicity badges? F.J. Schermer visited the SHOEI factory in Japan and now knows that they are real works of art, manufactured by hand in an intricate and caring process.
The primordial basis for quality is precision. Everything is clean, it would be easier to imagine being in a pharmaceutical factory than in helmet production. The pre-formed, accurately weighed fiber mats and the resin are ready to be placed into the steel "baking form".
A slack rubber balloon is then pushed into the form and 120&Mac176;C hot steam is blown into the balloon blowing it up to five bars. The mats are thus pressed exactly into the form and actually "baked" for 15 minutes.
" At this point in my career, I only want the best, and that is why I only trust SHOEI. " - Miguel Duhamel.
SHOEI produces three completely different helmet shells: for the domestic, American and European markets. This is one of the secrets of the excellent fit of the helmets.
After the helmet shells have been cut with water jets and laser beams, the rest of the production is done by hand. The factory staff check the outer shells again and again looking for rough spots. The decals are applied in a bath of water, absolutely no air bubbles should remain.
The helmet then goes to the Test and Homologation Department where it undergoes extensive tests according to all worldwide homologation procedures. Helmets are taken out of production at irregular intervals and tested, tested, tested. Wind turbulence is simulated in the wind tunnel. The slightest bulges or changes at the edges have an influence as to how smooth the helmet lies in the wind or how noisy or silent it is.
After a day’s visit it was established: typical Japanese quality is produced here by hand. This is why SHOEI helmets can be classified among the best if not the best in the world.
Shoei helmets are the best engineered, most comfortable helmets in the world. They offer unsurpassed quality, unparalleled safety features and the coolest graphics available.
Shoei helmets are distributed in the United States... and Canada. Shoei's United States operations are located in Tustin, CA.

The SHOEI Quality SHOEI stands for over 40 years of pioneering spirit, perfectionism and uncompromising concentration on safety and quality. No idea is too good, no safety standard too high and no processing is too precious to make us think that we have already reached the optimum. SHOEI Helmets are subject to continuous improvement.
Whatever you experience with your bike – SHOEI´s best wishes for your Safety will accompany you when you ride.
SHOEI has been dedicated to the development of superior helmet technology since 1958.
Our company was started by the immense spirit and determination of its founder Eitaro Kamata, who designed and used his first products exclusively for the racing sector.
What is amazing even by today’s standards is the pace at which SHOEI became popular all over the world: starting in the late sixties, SHOEI’s reputation as a top quality brand spread first over the U.S., then later all over the motor markets of Europe.
What is also amazing is that everybody who was ever involved in the motor field can spell the name SHOEI, in spite of the fact that we are a team of less than 500 people worldwide.
But what is most amazing, especially to a Western observer, is the dedication of our factory staff. SHOEI manufactures all helmets (and all helmet parts) in Japan, even though manufacturing costs there have long since exceeded the level in many European countries. Why?
Because the men and women in our factories take every single helmet as a personal challenge. Faulty products are practically unheard of, as every single piece reflects the spirit, ambition and attention to detail that is so typical of SHOEI.
To you as a motorcycle rider and customer, we emphasize that you will feel and enjoy this quality every time you put on your Shoei helmet.
Do not miss that pleasure.
Technical Information
Shoei is committed to producing products that provide top-notch protection and extreme comfort so that you can enjoy your ride. Our design and technical teams have spent thousands of hours studying everything from aerodynamics to human physiology in order to achieve this goal.
Manufacturing Process:
Shoei helmets are constructed using AIM or Advanced Integrated Matrix, technology. AIM is a process whereby organic fibers are combined with fiberglass and hyper performance fibers to form the helmet's outer shell. This results in an outer shell that provides an ideal level of impact absorption, sufficient elasticity, light weight and a high degree of rigidity.
Snell:
We have spent 40 years studying riders and testing different helmet designs to create our award winning line of helmets. By combining different shapes and shell sizes with our patented liner cooling systems, Shoei has created the most comfortable helmets on the road today.
