I've been using this helmet for the past two weeks and I am very pleased with how light it is and the streamlined fit which makes shoulder checks a breeze. I have a size medium and although very snug when pulling it on, it fits well once on. I would suggest if possible trying it on since the snugness when pulling it on could be an issue for some. I was concerned when I read reviews that it is very loud, however coming from an HJC modular, also size medium but a bulkier fit, found this helmet to be quieter. I wear earplugs with all my helmets. My only issue with the helmet, which is why I gave a ranking of 4, is the small button to open the shield, which is awkward especially with gloves, and the slider for the sunshield. Perhaps I will get use to them but other helmets I have had are easier to manipulate right out of the box. I also appreciated having the pinlock insert included with the helmet.
