The Qwest helmet's revamped ventilation system incorporates a large upper intake positioned to maximize air flow, especially behind the windshields of touring motorcycles. Aerodynamic properties are maximized through extensive wind tunnel and professional rider's feedback. The lower intake is also larger to improve ease of adjustment while riding.
