I bought this helmet because full face helmets are claustrophobic and relatively difficult to see out of. I've been riding with a 3/4 helmet for years and wanted to improve the level of protection against chin impact in the event of a crash.
This helmet is much quieter than my previous 3/4 helmet. The face shield is more aerodynamic and less prone to buffeting. When cracked to the first position to let in a little air, it's optically correct and you can actually see through the face shield. The chin bar is almost unnoticeable. There is no sense of restricted vision whatsoever with the chin bar in place. The helmet is a little more prone to fogging with the chin bar in place, but the helmet is very usable with the face shield cracked to vent.
It's lighter than my previous helmet. The chinbar is easy to remove and replace.
In summary this helmet is perfect for my needs. I can use it with the chin bar in place to commute and remove it for more casual riding. I recommend it without reservation.
In terms of fit I went one size up from the sizing chart. It recommended a large and I went with an extra large and it fits perfectly. It is not at all loose, yet is snug enough to ride on the highway with no movement. The fit is very similar to the Scorpion I had before.
