This helmet does it all, as far as I am concerned. It is comfortable and terrifically utilitarian. But the thing that makes this helmet superior to all the others is the sun visor system. There is a separate sun visor beneath the face shield that comes down by simply moving a lever on top of the helmet and, in contrast to other similar helmets of which I am aware, the sun visor instantly springs back into the helmet with the push of a button. I can't recount the number of times while riding when I suddenly faced into the sun. All that it took was a quick motion to deploy the sun visor and eliminate the sun glare. When I no longer needed it, I pressed the button on top of the helmet and POOF!, the visor was gone.
The price for the helmet is also great. I have never understood the need to spend hundreds of dollars for a helmet when the same degree of safety is available for much less.
I am one of those people who is never satisfied. I am always searching for something better. In this case, however, I am not looking for another helmet. This helmet works great for me!

What a difference the full visor makes. After much research I chose this helmet for the retractable sun visor and UV protection of the clear visor. The manufacturere does not specify if it is UVA and UVB, just UV protection; but no other manufacturers did either. This has a polycarbonate shell so it is very light. the fit is snug. make sure you try one on before ordering. I went to a local shop but they did not have this color in my size and it was about $30 higher that Amazon.

Soy de Caracas Venezuela, Recomiendo 100% este Casco, me quede sin palabras la primera vez que lo utilice, reduce el ruido del exterior en un 50%, es bastante liviano, tiene visera oscura interna. Excelente lo recomiendo con los ojos cerrados. Si te gustan los cascos semi-integral este es el ideal.

I'm from Caracas Venezuela, 100% recommend this helmet, I was speechless the first time you use, reduce outside noise by 50%, is fairly light, has internal dark visor. Excellent would recommend with eyes closed. If you like semi-integral helmets this is the ideal.

I know I should wear a full face helmet. But honestly, I sometimes don't ride rather than put one on. Between the claustrophobia, discomfort and reduced visibility, I can't face a full-face helmet.

I was drawn to this helmet's features, visibility, comfort, and slightly increased face protection (over most other open-face designs).

The price is $15 less than I can buy it for locally.

Let me begin by saying that I loathe wearing helmet in the Texas summer, and living in Texas where the cops don't pull you over for not wearing a helmet helps. This helmet is very comfortable to wear, at least for me, and the key is that it is light and ventilation is great. Of course, being an open face helmet, it will not protect your jaws or your nose when you go down.

The sun shield is useful, but its lower edge gets in the way of my vision even at the lowest configuration.

Are you looking for a helmet with a built in retractable sun, and face shield? Well after a lot of research I found what I was looking for at a great price. My wife doesn't ride on my motorcycle much, but when she does she wants to be comfortable, and this helmet has everything you could want for an enjoyable ride. It's not the best for cold weather rides, but it's perfect for everything else.

This helmet is great for hot weather. I can't stand to use a full face helmet in the summer, so this is a great alternative. I've worn a Medium in every helmet I've ever worn, no different with this one. Retractable visor is really only used if I forget my sunglasses. I don't know why it's so expensive here, I bought it at motorcycle superstore for half the price that Amazon is selling it.

I wore it for the first time yesterday on my first ride across Germany. It worked excellent with the Scala bike to bike intercom system. It is very comfortable and hope to never have to test its durability.
