    Freezing. Makes a journey seem 4 times longer.

    Rain hurts unbelievably ! Uncomfy at 100kmh

    Ok for summer short rides I guess.

    FANTASTIC for motocross tho

    rain, hail etc is painful, snow is um... cold + painful but the chilling effect somewhat dulls the stinging pain
    other than that meh...

    i have a road helmet and a mx helmet/goggle setup, i almost always wear the mx helmet

    I can sell you one of these for $1999.00 if you really value your head !

    I also have arai stickers for added safety.

    The problem with all the adv lids that were basically MX shells with a visor and modified peak added were that when I tried them the distortion was appalling around the nose area of the chin bar.

    HJC, Wulf, FFM, all terrible, and would give anyone a headache I reckon after looking through them for any amount of time. You also get a weird reflection thing going on on the inside of the visor, of the side of the road flashing past. Those last 2 Chinese things look much the same - especially the black one, that visor looks so pointed it almost has a crease!

    The Zeus, Arai and remember those old Lazer and Nolan lids from the 80s/90's seem to have the right idea by using a different shell shape without the pointy visor of the mx type lids.

    I didnt try the shoei, but the zeus wasnt to comfy for me, the HJC and FFM's visors gave me a headache, the old Nolans and Lazers are not around anymore - and made of plastic anyway I think, so I ended up with an Arai - and for that I'm eternally sorry and should be beaten with a stick it seems... However the spares are available and cheap so I didnt need to throw it away when a visor retaining clip and cover got broken in a spill. You can also customise the fit with different size cheek pads from the importers. Try getting a few spares for a chinese bike let alone a helmet...

    Just my opinion, like...

    Here we go again.......
