External review of the Roof Boxer V by Marty (Dallas)
This will be a series of reviews. I am indicating series, only because I will give a review after owning the helmet. One week, I will try to get a review in a few months and then again, sometime after that. Or as we all know, impressions are sometimes dismissed over time.

I presently ride a BMW K1200R, covering around 15 - 25k miles per year. Prior to this bike, all my bikes were cruisers.

All my helmets were skullcaps or something real similar. After purchasing the K1200R I purchased a Caberg flip face. Very please with this helmet, but wanted the Roof Boxer. It got such horrible reviews, for fogging up, and the latch breaking. I chose not to purchase it at that time. So this gives you a brief history/knowledge of where I am in giving this review.

As soon as I realized the new Boxer V was released I had to have it. Now after owning the helmet for four days it certainly is one of the most comfortable helmets have ever worn. The venting on it appears to be very, very good, almost too good. The side nostril vents, cannot be closed and you can feel the breeze easily coming through the helmet. I am considering placing some tape on the inside, where the vents come through, to prevent so much air from passing through. This may cause it to fog up, but I will let you know.

What I did not realize, there are two vents on each side of the nostril, just below the visor, that can be opened up as well, if needed. This looked like just a design item, but they are functional.

Even though there seems to be air flowing well through the Boxer V in the winter time, I am still comfortably warm wearing it.

The latches that hold the chin bar in place were not clear to me initially on how to get them released. You push up on the red tab, and this opens up the snap, which then allows the snap to release. It's probably because it is new, but this seems a bit difficult to operate. Mainly, when locking/closing the chin bar.

Visibility from the Roof Boxer V is exceptional, and maneuverability, looking from side to side is also very well designed. I'm able to move my head without getting my shoulder with the chin bar.

I will try to follow up with an additional review in a month or so. (Posted 11th, Dec, 2006)
