Just bought this helmet a month or so ago, in solid matte black. Let me tell you, for the money, it's hard to beat. In the heat it beats my EXO-400 hands down! Much more ventilation, and I don't start overheating my head if I'm sitting in traffic. THAT is a major plus in my book, especially when temps hit the upper 90's and the heat index is well over 100. Coming standard with a dark smoke windscreen was nice, and looking at replacement shields... about $30 is a lot cheaper than most other manufacturers. Also I'm pretty sure it's lighter than my EXO-400 was.
Now don't get me wrong, the EXO-400 was a heck of a helmet for the 149 I paid. But for riding around in the summer heat, this helmet is much better IMO.
Is it a $100 helmet? sure.
Does it compare to $400+ helmets? in some features , yes. But for overall, of course not. So comparing it to such helmets would be stupid.
