ok, got a commute in w/ the lid

1st off, i knew that the MAIN reason i was buying this lid was the paint job. and for as little as i ride nowadays, 1x a week to and from work 13mi it would suffice

the weight of this helmet is awesome, man it's like not wearing a lid it so light

perepherial vision on par w/ the arai

air flow is good at the top and the roller vents do work, though 1-7 detents is not needed, open/closed would suffice

the main bad w/ this helmet FOR ME has been the fogging prob. and it doesn't defog that quickly either. i haven't tried the 'pinlock' screen that came w/ the lid, i'll prolly order some

de-fog it wipes

fit is good on my bulbous mellon, no hot spots, thought the liner is not as nice as an arai/shoei

undecided about the center lock on the lens, it does pose a big object in your line of site when the lid is 1/2 way down, but it's nice to be able to open close w/ either hand

don't like the edge of the lens as its curved and skews the optics

after looking at it in the sunlight, the straps are cheap, and the interior is not as nice as a $500 lid should be

IMO this should not be a $500 helmet, nor $400, maybe $300 retail. a i-net selling price of $250-300.

do i regret buying this lid............hmmm............i luv the paint job.
