    I got a couple of LS2 helmets, and they leak terribly. Not recommended.

    I am going from pin-lock back to these. So hopefully that answer your questions.
    Just hoping the pro-grip insert will stick inside or outside the pinlock holes.
    Never had a problem with the pro-grip stuff. Pin-lock on the other hand must have some awesome marketing.

    Check out his website.

    They are CABERG helmets and I race with one. They are very light and comfortable to wear and super safe. They have a 5 star "SHARP" rating which is the best you can get. I also sell them at the track if you happen to be there... :-)

    No - I didn't know you got those. Doesnt matter to me anyway because I have an internal sun visor 9that also fogs up occsaionally- bt not badly, so a bit of cat crap can cure that....

    My one has never come loose in the wind before.

I have a Nolan 103 and swear by it, my noodle was dry and I had great visibility, it has an internal clear visor on the visor which also prevents fog or mist. The only problem I had was the noise of the rain on my helmet interfering with the music I was listening too lol
