Cool Shark S800 lid recomendations

Anyone know what the shark lids are like. My GF saw one she likes in J&S (Baby blue one with buterflies on!) and REALLY likes the look of it (I believe it's the S800).

Anyone seen any test on this lid or know what shark lids are like in general?

Any help or advice would be apreciated as although it may be a nice looking helmet, I kinda like her and don't want her head to turn into mush should we have an off!

Regards

I got one s500...I think, bought it about a year ago when I had my 125.....To be honest I find it bit noisy and the money I spent on it I will probably upgrade soon.

Apart from that it's passed the tests so safety wise it will probably do but again I would say its worth spending a bit more on a lid......Think someone on here said passing the same test and having the same gold sticker on it doesnt mean that they are of the same quality.....

I know, i know. But I gotta try to satisfy the GF's taste as well as my need for safety!! LOL.

Not that bothered about the noise as she can wear earplugs plus my body will block most of the noise as she will only be a pillion!

Anyone know any good online places for rweviews and group tests???

Regards

My GF has the blue S800 and is pleased with it. Slightly noisy compared to her older Shoei. But everything else is good. So she would recommend them.
