i've got one. it's the matt black one. i think the daytona is the same except with a stripe?

10/10 for cool looks, esp in black with black visor.
6/10 build quality - the plastic air vent bits are very brittle and break easily
5/10 visor release mechanism, it's cumbersome
7/10 noise suppression, although none are perfect - that's what ear plugs are for

i find the chin guard is a bit too close to my chin, and no i am not a jimmy whatshisname the football commentator.

in summary, there are better lids out there for the same money, but how cool do you want to be?

Will.

OI, I resent that!

I've got the matt black one

Good overall quality (mine, at least), and the fit is great (again, for my head shape).

No vents, though, which make it a dry weather only helmet... you can use it with the visor cracked open (it doesn't have stops, so you can open it just as much as you'd like), but at the slightest sign of air dampness it'll fog like crazy, which means you have to open it up more. Which is a big no-no in the rain. Really big.

And it's a bit noisy too.

But slap in a black visor and it looks absof*******lutely cooooooooool.

Get one. And a vented "normal" one for winter.

Jenni - I got this one in Andorra about 4 years ago for £165 with a black visor:-



Ebayed it last year for £100

Great lid, pretty light .As Filipe said, tended to mist up a lot. Looks cool as feck though
