Good Points
Does not fog up, good ventilation, comfort.

Bad Points
Noisy, sun visor doesn't stay up.

General Comments
I ride in the tropics with high humidity, and the thing that impressed me about this helmet is that it does not mist up with the visor fully closed. My Shoei used to have this problem whenever it rains so I have to leave a gap opening, while putting up with the rain getting into my face. No such problem with the Shark S800.
Comfort and fit is good for my head, but it is a bit noisy (tells you that the air ventilation channelling through works doesn't it?). Advisable to use ear plugs if you intend to travel long distances wearing this helmet.
