The history and products of Shoei
Shoei is a Japanese company that has been producing motorcycle helmets since 1958, and it can be traced back to the founding of Kamata Polyester Co. in 1954, the company's first helmets were mainly used in the construction industry. In 1960, when Honda employees checked into a hotel run by Mr. Tian Fukuda, they heard that Honda employees were dissatisfied with foreign helmets, so they began manufacturing motorcycle helmets. In 1965 it was adopted as a special helmet for the Honda Giken Kogyo, and in 1980, it became the largest helmet manufacturer in the world. It is said that Shoei occupies more than 50% of the market for high-end helmets in the world, and its influence can be seen.
The models of Shoei helmets imported to the mainland for sale are additionally required to pass the 3C certification of the mainland and meet the Chinese national standard GB811-2010 before they can be sold, and the sales sizes are S, M, L, XL. At present, the helmets sold in China include full helmets, half helmets, uncovered helmets and off-road helmets.
In-store displays
SHOEI has 2 safety concepts, passive safety + active safety. "Passive safety" is to protect the head in an accident, while "active safety" is to improve comfort in riding, which makes it comfortable for the rider to ride to avoid accidents.
Introduction to the Shoei helmet style
This should not need me to say more, motorcycle friends are more professional than me, a simple list of shoei series of styles for your reference. Some are temporarily not available in Chinese mainland.
The off-road model is very recognizable
The Osaka Gallery Osaka
This time, according to the itinerary plan, I put the last stop Osaka, Osaka's shoei Gallary, the traffic is relatively convenient, and the subway is 5 minutes away.
The evening rush hour over Umeda Station is really the most crowded subway experience in life, compared to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the subway painting is so cute, the subway price starts at RMB 10, two or three kilometers only dare to leg.
The store brother is very professional, and when he entered the door, he found that Chinese could not be communicated, and English was not very good, but fortunately he turned out the translation machine, which shows that there are many foreigners.
For customers who are not sure of the size they are wearing, the little brother will first help measure the head circumference according to the following process, give suggestions and then try it on, adjust, and finally determine the size that the user needs. If the standard size is not suitable, you can add a pad for additional personalization, of course, this service also requires an additional fee.
The only drawback is that it does not support tax refunds, so if you want to buy a helmet at Shoei Gallary, you should think about it, and it is a pity that you don't feel a loss if you don't buy it.
Some of Shoei's other dealers should be eligible for tax refunds, so you need to work hard to find them.
Larger stores in Tokyo/Osaka
Although the helmet is not heavy, it is relatively large, and if there are other places that need to travel, it is not convenient to run around with it, so it is most recommended to buy a helmet at the last stop of your itinerary, so as to reduce tossing. Most friends go to the last stop in Japan is Tokyo, Osaka, the following two places of the store, for you to save, if you go to other places can go to the official website of shoei to find the nearest authorized dealer.
