So, I never wore/wear helmets on my bike. I always felt it blocked off too much of my peripheral vision and made me super unaware of my surroundings. Also they never seem to fit my head right, so when at top speeds, helmets I have used in the past moved around on my head, (very unsafe and uncomfortable). This helmet fits perfectly, has a wide eye frame and short nose/chin, which allows me to feel and see everything. Also super super warm! Biltwell made a helmet that I enjoy wearing. Not only is it super purposeful and useful, it looks pretty BA.
Originally I had thought to return this helmet because the chin strap was a little uncomfortable. It felt too close to my throat. But after wearing it a few times, it’s not bad. The fit is so comfortable. I wear a 2XL and if you have a large head, this is a great size for the helmet.
This is a great, comfortable helmet. My head is large at 33", so I decided to go up to an XL since I read the ECE helmets tend to run small. It's very comfortable and I've been very pleased with it. However, the all-snap face shield is a pain when you're trying to put on sunglasses, since you have to take it almost all the way off to get them on. It's a quality helmet but I wish I had bought a Gringo S with the more conventional, hinged shield.

Optical quality is not on par with stock. Detents are much stiffer than stock and don’t appear to be at same spots. Shield does not close without slamming it down unlike stock shield. Seems more flimsy than stock shield as well.
I love this face shield and it is great for my helmet. It is a bit dark so you need to carry a clear shield if you are going to drive at night because this will make potholes and other debris really difficult to see at night.
Works awesome. It's a little thinner than the stock shield and it doesn't use the pin lock . With the this shield dawn and the inner lens there is no eye strain on a bright sunny day. Overall I'm super happy with this product
good value for the price
Good alternative for a smoked visor. Shoei did not make a smoked outside shield
