Pros: Awesome helmet. Unlike other reviews I found the helmet to vent well. Most helmets that vent well get some wind turbulence inside the helmet. I think most folks assume no interior turbulence means no air flow. I own helmets from Shoei, Icon, and Nolan and this helmet vents better than any I have owned but with no interior turbulence. I also wear glasses and while the glasses did not fit well at first between the liner and my face, after a few days the liner molded to fit my glasses and face. The face shield and sun visor work as advertised with very little visual distortion and no fogging. Overall quality is good. There is a low speed booming wind noise that goes away as speed increases and overall this is a fairly quiet helmet.
Cons: The liner retainer system (plastic snaps) are prone to breaking. The liner snaps are of poor design and quality and overall the only thing keeping me form giving this helmet a 5 and excellent quality rating. I repaired two broken snaps (out of the box) by using epoxy to secure the snap base to the styrofoam lining. Wicking system works well, but the fabric feels fairly rough against my face. The helmet is slightly on the heavy side but isn't noticable when wearing due to excellent balance.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Pros: Fits great, and is extremely comfortable. Being able to inflat the chin supports helps the fit also. In addition the sun visor that comes down is possibly one of the greatest features I have seen on a helmet. Has helped numerous times where I am caught riding into the sun.
Cons: The top air vents could be a bit larger and held open better, but they still work good.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Fits according to fitted hat size.
Comments: Overall I think this is a great helmet for the money. Definitely try one on and see for yourself.
