SHOEI Z-7 PHILOSOPHER Helmet Features

Better Aerodynamics

When wearing a helmet, stress is applied to the neck muscles due to its weight and wind pressure. Because of that, improving the helmet’s aerodynamics is essential.

The development team behind SHOEI tested the SHOEI Z-7 PHILOSOPHER in a wind tunnel during its production period. This procedure improved the helmet’s shell design and enhanced aerodynamic properties.

Dual-Layer EPS Liners for Ventilation

For the Z-7 PHILOSOPHER, SHOEI created a dual-layer EPS liner that promotes unrestricted airflow. As a result, warm and humid air is replaced by cool, fresh air. These EPS liners also prevent sweating to keep riders comfortable.

Reduced Noise

With improved aerodynamics, SHOEI Z-7 PHILOSOPHER helmet’s wind noise is reduced. SHOEI also designed this helmet’s shell and interior padding thoroughly to lessen the noise caused by wind pressure. While blocking unwanted noise, it keeps the road’s informative sounds audible.

Outer Shell Material: AIM

AIM or Advanced Integrated Matrix is the material used for SHOEI Z-7 PHILOSOPHER’s exterior shell. It provides optimal protection against impact while reducing the weight significantly. The material is capable of high impact absorption due to its multiple densities.

Optimized Materials for the Liner Cover

The fabric used for the Z-7 PHILOSOPHER is a high-quality material that can absorb and dissipate sweat. As a result, it provides added comfort for the rider.

The materials for the Z-7 PHILOSOPHER’s liner cover was first developed for road and motocross racing. In these motorsports, heat and sweat exertion is high. Since that’s the case, you can be sure that this helmet can keep its interior dry.
