Initial impressions.
  • Very plush and comfortable. A nice place to put my head
    Shell size is quite large
    Lots of venting THAT WORKS
    Seems very stable at speed, not as much buffeting as my Arai
    Seems to have a slight whistle sometimes
    DD strap more fiddly than my Arai (being picky)
    Some of the build quality is not the best
    Rode in the ****ing down rain and there were no bad leaks

Overall I like it. Looks really funky, but build ain't up to Arai standards. I would have been a bit miffed had I paid full price, but happy for the price.

Thanks for the honest evaluation Scoobs.

I'm not about to rush out and buy a lid at mo, next couple months maybe, so if you have any futher things you'd like to share please do.

Btw... did you have a close of closures? DD or buckle i mean?
