1000 mile reveiw.  

It takes some time to really understand a product so i dedecided to put some miles on before I sumbitted a review.  I have used this helmet mostly as a commuter helmet each and every day in most weathers such as fog, rain, night and day.  The lining is comfortable and the construction is solid.  Because of the beak on this helmet it is not completely quiet.  On windy days there will be some noise and it will move your head around.  However the aerodymics is better than most.  I find there is a sweet spot if you just dip your chin down the airflow becomes better.  This all depends on what type of fairing or windscreen you have.  In cross winds, expect the regular head shuffle will happen, it is expected.  One must really enjoy helmets with a "beak".  I do because it helps if you forget your sunglasses you can dip your head down to get the sun out of your eyes. I hooked my Sena up to this helmet and it fitament is easy.  Plenty of room to tuck the wires in out of sight.   I did also purchase a "mirror" visor and have yet to install it.  I'll give an update once I use it on a proper ADV ride.   Overall I like the "no frills, raw " design.

I have the Variant Etched Blue version.  I love it.  I some times wish the visor was a bit longer for the sun, but performance on the highway would suffer.

This is my third helmet.  My second one was stolen in La Paz, Bolivia :)  I settled on this helmet mostly because it fits my elongated oval shaped head and I was very impressed with the quality.

 

Ventilation is good.  Visibility is good.  Fit is fantastic.  I like how it comes with a clear AND a smoke shield.  My Sena integrates well too.  It's relatively light.  Good shade protection from visor and the air flow is good so it doesn't whip my head back.

 

Some say they can't use this helmet because they can't wear their goggles but I wear mine just fine.
