A Roof Boxer V8 Helmet Review
Star Wars meets Top Gun in a modular helmet that works 

Claude Morin designed the original Roof Boxer Classic modular helmet back in 1995, but Roof helmets have had only minimal exposure in North America, so the product is new to most of us. The latest version of his design is the Roof Boxer V8 helmet and it includes a number of advancements that improve functionality, but retains the original “fighter pilot” appearance.

The Roof Boxer V8 modular helmet remains true to designer Claude Morin’s original architecture, but includes improvements in functional areas such as ventilation.

The original Boxer had no vents at all; the Boxer V8 has four non-closable rear-facing exhaust vents and two closable vent ports in the chin bar.  The result is excellent ventilation inside the face piece and little problem with visor fogging.  Fogging is further prevented by the anti-fog coating on the visor, which also has a scratch resistant coating. Crown ventilation is provided by an intake vent atop the helmet, which is opened by single slide control that simultaneously opens the exhaust port at the rear.  Crown ventilation with this system is minimal but wind noise is also held to a minimum.
