We just bought this helmet and I thought We would share some info and pix with you all. After buying this at road riders in San Jose for $399 we road to the Cow Palace for the car show and this is what Sandie had to say about it: It was Lighter and quiter then her Shoei full face, and that her visor in the down position never fogged up once, with a feel of fresh air in front of her face not a rush of air with the chin vent open and no clostrifobic feelings as she has with the Shoei. When she set down the internal tinted visor and looked toward the sun eye strain was at a minimal level.
Sence we got home I have instaled the J&M head set #HS-ECD477-FL @ $197.99 and Lower cord #HC-ZB @ $46.95 [sorry HAL they were impuls buys] they work fine staticly on bike but havn't had a chance to use at speed yet. I had to remove some of the styrefoam around the holes provided but no deeper to recess the speekers for comfort, easly done with exacto knife after pealing back the cloth and the cloth reattached easly with the resadue of sticky tape left in place.
As you can see there is good vertical and wide angle of view through the visor. Sandie says she can't see the side of her helmet.
With the dark inner shield down there is good Eye coverage.
By Looking at this pix with the chin guard all the way up it may be to tall and become a sail causing neck fatigue but only time will tell.
With the boom mic in this position the chin/neck padding seen on bottom of raised chin guard doesn't interfer with raising and lowering of the chin guard.
As seen in this pix with the outer visor in the extended position there is a 1/8" gap between visor and helmet both top and bottom for more ventilation in warmer weather. But is kept sealed to the helmet for colder and wet weather.
When able I will post more info.
