Pros: This model helmet is very European looking - classy - almost would look better with a BMW than a Dual Sport. Lining is not at all abrasive - no chafing, no hard spots, strong materials and got a great price compared to other companies and products. The vents are fine - I've been riding in 60 degree weather and 90 degree (typical New England weather) - stop & go city traffic -- fine in all conditions - though haven't yet experienced the rain. Also - not cold enough yet to tell about fogging - though the ventilation just seems too good for the shield to fog up - we'll see.
Not sure about the weight (nothing to compare it to) - however I don't notice any neck strain, difficulting moving my head in all directions -- vision's real good -down and to the sides (needs to be with the crazy drivers around here).
Cons: Noticed a minor graphic irregularity when holding it (small spider in the back - no damage, nothing to indicate a drop or whack to it -- looks purely like a graphic oops. No impact on the looks/integrity of the helmet (too subtle to see from more than 1-2 feet away).
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: First full face helmet - didn't know what to expect/look for so read all the info & rolled the dice... My size is large - head is somewhat rectangular - top to jaw. The helmet crown fit perfectly. The cheek pads (L) were too full - smooshed my face - but... it was hard to figure out what size "might" be ideal for them. I soaked them, put them under about 100lbs of weight - and voila! Once they dried out - I checked them out - they only compressed about 1/8 in each - which was enough to take the pressure off and fit the helmet perfectly. Those w/ $ might want to spring for the smaller pads though.
Comments: Kudos to KneeDraggers themselves -- great company to do business with -- helped with info on the helmet, met all commitments on pricing and delivery - did so well that I followed this purchase up... (Read the rest of this review)
