Pros: This helmet has a tremendous amount of features for the price. The visor has great peripheral, and the internal sun shade (SVS) has very good optical clarity, except for the periphery, where it hinges into the helmet. It is comfortable, has ear room, is easy to use, and has a nice enough finish. It is very stable, even at about 85-90mph on a naked bike with a "touring" windscreen.
Cons: The helmet is not quiet, but is quieter than expected for a modular helmet. There is a separate piece you can attach to keep the wind from blowing under your chin, but this piece then inhibits your view when you raise the chin.
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: Whatever you've worn in other helmets is probably the same here. Their size chart said medium, and the medium fit me correctly.
All in all, this helmet is a pretty darn good deal for the money. It allows me to A) leave the house when it is dark and be able to see just fine through the clear visor, B) flip down the internal sun shade (SVS) when the sun finally comes out on an hour long commute without pulling over to switch visors like my previous helmets, and C) stop for gas and flip up the chin to chug a red bull or eat some peanutes or something, instead of taking the whole helmet off. All of the above, plus comfort, stability, and rather plush face/cheek pads, and a clip for the chin strap instead of fumbling with a D-ring each time. NO ONE makes these features in a helmet with a price THIS low - this helmet is a GREAT BUY, in my humble opinion.
