I would love to order one but helmet sizes vary waaaay too much. I havent seen this brand where i live to try some on for sizing. Why cant helmet sizes be standardized? My kolpin? large helmet is actually bigger than my Shark extra large. go figure.

I have a white one and I like it a lot. I think the styling is great and I LOVE the shield for the street. My only minor complaints would be the liner/padding is a relatively low-density foam (feels kind of cheap to me), and I get some 'rainbow' in the shield when I wear my polarized sunglasses under it. All in, I'm very happy with it for under $100 shipped.

Yeah I know what you mean with the shield...I have also see a little distorsion in the ground due to the curve of the shield...I have gotten used to it though.

Edit: One other thing I have to complain about is that my shield rubs when I lift i up or put it down... Not a big issue it's not in my sight...vtgreen does yours do that?

Does the sun visor drag your head around at highway speeds? I like the helmet...

I dont think its the head that poses the problem. Just what it contains. for some there may be to much rattling about inside! You know the ones I'm talking about.

I have one too and I really like it. The wind doesn't affect the windscreen, my visor doesn't rub, and it's very comfortable. Oh, and now that it's $86, I way overpaid
