Very comfortable, all day. Light weight. Low noise at speed - my friends wear earplugs, I don't. The vents work as promised and are easy to use.

Impact foam is throughout the interior, including the ear wells and the chin guard. The padding is soft, comfortable, removable, and you can switch it around for a more comfortable fit. The quality of the shell is striking. Putting this helmet side by side with helmets from other, cheaper brands will make you afraid for all those riders who trust their noggins to the competition. Yes, these are expensive. But, there is no question where the money went.

This helmet is still great. I have never regretted this purchase for a moment and don't expect to.

This is my first helmet, the company and other people say this is the most quiet helmet, I don't know , but for me is loud as hell, I had to put stuff under the helmet to calm the turbulence it produces which produces a lot of wind noise, I would not recommend this to anyone, I think probably if you spend a bit more, you will save your ears.

I have to revise this review , because I found out the noise produced wasn't from the helmet , it is produced by the "windshield " of my motorcycle , and I found out about it accidentally while I was fixing the motorcycle one day and I had to take off the windshield and the freaking noise was gone. Anyway, the helmet still in great shape , I've ride it in heavy rain and not a drop of water, and have received impacts of rock on the helmet shield and you can only see the marks (avoid big dump trucks even if they look far away) and Is great during hot and cold seasons.
