Shoei J Cruise II Helmet Review

Shoei J Cruise II Helmet Review

The J-Cruise returns for its second iteration. Shoei's proven, premium three-quarter helmet offers superb ventilation and comfort. A sun shield is at hand to for bright days, and a plush interior works to quickly wick moisture away. The J-Cruise II carries a DOT certification.

Best 3/4 helmet I've ever owned in 60 years of riding and having had many, many 3/4 helmets. Great looking, well ventilated, easy on/off with ratchet closure ( which I just love), and very comfortable. The flip down face shield is far thicker than any other I've owned. Wind noise is tolerable and 3/4 helmet good.

I’m hoping it’s a nice lid.... I have one on order... l already have a Neotec...

[jeffreyscoggins]

Love the helmet. After regular washing of top liner, getting it to snap back into place at the /frontvisor is difficult. They need better snaps to hold in place.

Ventilation sucks compared to old one and drop down visor always fogged or smudged….

[alfredcen]

Interestingly, I got the J-cruise I with rachet strap, removable ear pads, and longer sun visor. Look forward to a comparison on the ventilations.

I would have paid $50 more not to have the SRL system. Same reason I won't buy a neotec going forward. Shame that Shoei is really narrowing the appeal of it's brand. HJC making better value proposition helmets nowadays

Thanks for the review - I would like to ask:
1) for the noise level (both road noise and wind noise) Is it really more quiet than the previous version or is it the same? Did you compare both helmets on a road test?
2) I remember having a road test with the newer version and when the visor was down, the wind still was able to come in between the visor and my chin, all the way up into my eyes - Is this something that can be solved? If i'll try the old version, any chance that it will be better?

Spurg great info on the helmet, thank you. I can understand you not Anthony he takes why to fast. Lol

[rickmiller]

What's the best/easiest way to get the cheek pads back in? I've been fighting with one of them for the last half hour trying to get them back in correctly.

USA needs the Glamster from Shoei. Make it happen Revzilla.

Visibility looks okay, but not enough protection for me.

[billgonzales]

I was given a shoei full it was great its old now 10 years so I bought a new full face not shoei cant afford it new$ 140 bucks works just fine

[uribennun]

I mean, if you already get a SHOEI, get a full face, do yourself a favor..
The oval face shape is impressive, BUT I also enjoy having a lower jaw

[shawnsponds]

Why all of these shielded open face helmets smoosh my nose is weird …

[sgtshak]

I have a GT Air 2 with the SRL system. Thinking about going with a J Cruise for my Vespa riding. Will the system from the GT Air 2 fit the J Cruise 2 or did Shoei make it difficult, so you have to by a new COM system too?

[danthechippie]

I now ride a HD cruiser and my old shoei GT air which was great on my gold wing looks a bit weard on the harley. Is this the helmet for me?

[thecam]

How is it if I already wear glasses? any hitting with the dark visor?

[sathishrao]

$500+ for an Open face helmet ? ‘Overkill’ is an under statement since open face helmets aren’t quite safe and ideal for touring..
My Vega open face helmet cost $15 ( yes - fifteen) here in India which I use only for City riding.. ( I use Bell and HJC full face helmets for touring )
