Thanks. yes it worked for me when I started riding years ago with a Shoei that time.

I took that Shoei to PFS and their Japanese tech just chased me out, really, chased me out. Not complaining here, just describing what happened. It was during Sepang booth, and it was crowded, and they were worked hard. They won't even look at it, not gonna touch it. I told them just add a few of those sticker pads or freshen up the cheekpad, just 'no, no, no, not fitting for this helmet'...

Why did they rejected your helmet though? Was it they were simply too busy or your helmet is too old or condition too bad?

Shoei PFS has a downside.
Additional foam added actually blocks airflow.
My head was more sweaty after PFS.

Bought a standard headliner and put it back in, took the PFS'ed headliner out.

Now much less sweat and can feel air flow through my skull.

My 3 year old PFS'd headliner foam disintegrated when I washed it in the washing machine so had to buy a new headliner and yet to go back to get it fitted.

When I asked them about how to clean those inners, they say just soak it in a pail, lightly hand squeeze and hang dry. Don't use a washing machine.

Now I know why  biggrin.gif
I have also heard HJC salesman told me their customers that has both HJC and Shoei, Shoei's inner will self destruct even if helmet is left there on the shelf long enough. Ahbutthen, when I hear such comment from a competitor brand, I always take it with plenty of salt.

Having owned both brand before, I do observed HJC's inner foam is of slightly higher density type than Shoei.

The official instruction from Shoei on how to wash the lining is to actually put it in a laundry net and throw it in the washing machine. I done it before in my helmet's first year and no issues, but guess 3 year old foam is just too brittle for that.
