    The Shark S800 is a great helmet for the price. It makes my other helmet (Lazer LZ6) look like cheap tat. It has loads of features from higher priced helmets. The breath deflector works and looks really good, but on my helmet it's about 3mm off centre, which made me think my nose was off centre! It's a small niggle but I keep looking down at it because it's not symmetrical.

    The finish all round is awesome, really nice paint job, looks really well crafted, no stray bits of plastic or material anywhere. The visor is great, less distortion than my LZ6 and it feels a lot more solid. The closing action is great, there is no question when it's locked in the down position. Only thing i would say is it doesn't open as high as the LZ6. The push button removal is brilliant, can take it off and replace it in seconds. The anti-fogging works well too, although I haven't taken it out on a really wet day yet.

    The chin strap clip is one of the low points, it's tough to click together and there isn't a "click" feedback you would expect from this type of buckle.

    Now, the thing that annoyed me most about this helmet is it's actually almost a size bigger than it says! I got a medium which should fit me but it's not snug round my whole head, seems a little wider but the length is fine. As a result I get wind rushing round my ears making it actually noisier than the much cheaper LZ6. HOWEVER! I found this noise is due to air rushing up under the helmet, so I've learned to tuck my hoodie under it which eliminates all the noise and makes it much quieter than the LZ6. But this is a real hassle and I keep needing to readjust. My shemagh doesn't do the job but I'm sure some neck wind breaker will work...

    Overall it's a great helmet and looks the mutt's nutz, feels very solid with loads of high end features.
