I have to say, this helmet is fantastic value for money and great so far. It's extremely comfortable, light, quiet, and the visor has a nice, sure, but not too "clicky" action. The integrated sunvisor is a brilliant addition and adds a certain "Terminator" coolness to the lid - and is very easy to operate.
The flip-up chinguard is also smooth and easy to operate even with gloves due to an big catch under chin. It's great also to have a click-together system chin strap rather than those fiddly D-ring things, though I note the D-rings are there so I think it may be possblible to convert it if you don't like the click-system.
The only slight negative is that the removable "draught excluder" (a sort of panel that clicks into place under the chin and stops the wind coming up), easily gets knocked out when removing/putting on the lid. However I've worked out a way to avoid this which is simply to always raise the flip chinguard when removing/putting on the lid (this also makes it easier to put on anyway).
All in all I am very happy with this lid and wouldn't hestitate to recommend it. Also I notice it has 3 (out of 5) stars from the government's Sharp website which is pretty respectable for a flip lid at this price. Top liddage!
