Shit has it been a year with it already. Bloody time flies as you get older.
Still very pleased with the Vozz. One year old, plenty of use and looks brand new.
These are minor annoyances. Yes it does mist up at the bottom of visor too easily when at a halt. Clears in 2 seconds once moving again. Upside is once moving in freezing weather your entire head/face/chin are warmer than with other lids!
The dark visor is at the darker end of tinting. May look cool but in twilight/night riding for me diminishes my vision a bit. So that means on tour having to pack the clear and at the worse of winter I stopped using it for commute because I leave home and return in the dark. As I said earlier if it came with a self-tinting visor like Bell offer it would be the perfect lid for me. Using my Shark with internal visor for these darkness commutes reminds me how quiet and comfortable the Vozz is.
One other thing I discovered is with really thick neck clothing or a loose balaclava (like I sometimes wear) or my shirt with a hoody that I pull up over my head, it can get in the way of the closure mechanism. As the two halves come together they can catch loose fitting clothing. Again a minor thing you need to adapt too.
Worse thing is I sold the green Zed and tried to sell the green Vozz with the bike but the new owner had just bought a new lid. If he had taken my green Vozz I would have immediate bought another - once I knew what colour bike I was getting.
As a safety issue it has occurred to me that there is no way a rider on his own with say a broken arm would be able to remove his helmet. It can only be released by using both hands at the same instant. Mind you plenty of riders probably need two hands to pull a tight fitted lid off.
I guess to summarise if I was offered a free exchange for any other helmet, I would say no thanks.
