Givi helmets seeking feedback from owners

have had a look (as in a picture, not in the flesh) and they look pretty good, likely to be well made etc, but do you own one and what do you think? good and bad points

I love mine, had it for over 3 years.
Has the internal sunvisor which I wouldn't be without.
Easy external visor replacement system.

The price has dropped since I bought mine

Also got the HPS 40.1 Integral as linked to above. Best helmet I've owned in 20 years. The internal sun visor is fantastic, quick release latch is much better than d-rings but you must make sure it is positively engaged.

Sunvisor looks like a pretty good feature

Just checked the box- mine was $550 back when I got it.

i've got the x01
bought in the hope of freshness, and about that, well, it works...

comfortable with the memory foam and the inner visor.

on the bad side i'd say it's a bit noisy, but it's normal for such an aired helmet...

Looked at one a few weeks back and was disturbed at just how heavy it was. Medical studies (Mrs Berg is a paramedic and theater operative) have shown higher risks to the neck with a helmet over 1400g. The one I looked at was a medium and was 1600g. My XL AGV is only 1400 and Mrs Berg's small Shoei is 1300g. Other than that they look all good.
