    Got an Airoh S4 (adventure helmet). Seems pretty well made but it doesn't fit my head very well (heads to long and not wide enough). Gets bloody annoying when it is windy cause it shifts my glasses (must wear when driving/riding) around i.e. lifts then off my nose/cant see properly stuff. Only use it round town or when it is raining now days.

    Oh also had a really annoying whistle but I found the fluffy half of some sticky back velcro on the inside of the visor near the pivot killed most of that. Wont give another one ago but if it fits then not a bad buy.

    Got mine from Vroom as well.

    Cheers R

    I really like the idea of the S4 and it has a good rep, but I wouldn't want to buy without trying one on > And the nearest agent is in Te Rapa.

    I may have to settle for a Grex.

    Does the Airoh have D rings or a snap fastener?

    The Airoh has a snap fastner but then again so does the Grex RD1. I had a RD1 before the S4 and I recon it is a nicer helmet for general ADV riding for me - visor seals better, peak is better when sunny and in windy conditions and it fits me better.

    Thanks, that's interesting. And the Grex is available in Auckland, and about one third the price. Though the snap fastener does put me off.

    Good to hear that you are pleased with the TR1. $335 now, atleast vroom are quick to pass on the currency savings, unlike so many other retailers & petrol companies. I paid $375 but still consider that good value for a stunning looking lid, designed and made in Italy (the land of style) and practical.

    Mine fits well now and with this hot summer we are having it's kept me much cooler than others I've worn. I really like the look of the Italian flag colours. The paint quality is good too.
