Top vent works well, it may just be my wind screen but I feel the chin vent does not bring in the air flow real well. Buying a pinlock was paramount in bringing my smile back. Fogged up constantly in winter riding.
When using an intercom setup the speaker holes could be a little deeper... 40mm speaker with sticky back hook n loop to apply. I might just apply with a hot glue gun next time, should save some space.
My first helmet for my first motorcycle so I was not sure what to expect. It turned out to be a great choice. The look and the feel are more than I had expected. It gets five stars from me......

Description
SL TRADITIONAL BLK XL
I ride every single day, rain or shine. These shields block out all the dust, smoke and sun every day as well as those raindrops that feel like tiny needles stabbing you as you ride in the rain.
It’s a $25 visor, all of the finishes scratch pretty easy, I wipe my down using Bug Slide and a microfiber cloth. Eventually they all smudge and scratch, that’s just how it is. I bought a couple for my wife and I to wear mostly so we can hear and communicate better with our Cardo Bold Bluetooth helmet intercoms. They work great. I say buy, wear, and when it gets scratched or smudged just get a new on, OR buy clear a clear one and wear sunglasses. The shields do a fantastic job of keeping kamikaze insect on a death mission for crashing into your face, and that’s the purpose. Would I buy again? Can’t see why not.
I have a Biltwell helmet. It's surprisingly great quality for the price. This visor however is not. I got a drop of water on it, tried to wipe it off. I kid you not, the chrome came off. I've ridden with this visor a handful of times and it's already scratched so bad it's hard to see through. I am pretty disappointed with it. I specifically bought this visor thinking that the manufacturer would have the best quality, guess I was wrong. Maybe the clear version or non chrome would be a better choice??? I don't know.
It is a nice looking shield. I anticipate it cutting down on wind noise to a degree. I make this assumption because of flanged edges which will push wind out away from the ears.
Sadly, I quickly discovered it is not ant-fog. The shield fogged up with each breath. There is enough play between the helmet and your face to push it out enough to clear the fog out. I don't know where or why, I got it in my head this shield was a flip up shield. It is not a flip up shield.
I already, accidently dropped it on the floor while getting it ready to place on the helmet, so I can testify it did not scratch. Their saying it is scratch proof is true if their anti-fog claim is not true.
My eyes are very sensitive to UVA and UVB and I get horrible headaches and my eyes throb from prolonged exposure to these ultra violate light. This helmet shield is actually UVA and UVB blockers. For that reason alone was why I bought this shield. Otherwise, like another tinted shield I bought here, I had to wear sunglasses under the shield for protection or my eyes throbbed in pain.
Their anti-fog claim too was a very important sales point for me. Seeing as how it does fog up, is why I am only giving it 4 stars. As anti-fog is so important, I am being very generous giving it 4 stars not 3 or 2 stars.
