I opted for this helmet because it was simple, stylish, and thought the gunmetal color would go well with my bike. The gunmetal color is much darker in person than in the picture, more of a very dark gray rather than a lighter sandy gray color. In low light conditions, the gunmetal is indistinguishable from black.
I normally wear a large size so I ordered large. Fits very well. It is also fairly light and doesn't fatigue my neck at all. The vents are easy to open and close with gloves on, and the face shield can be changed quickly and easily (even while wearing the helmet if need be).
My only complaint is about the ear cutout area of the removable cheek pads. There are sharp plastic borders around the pads which don't sit completely flush with the helmet around the ear area. They dig into the edge of my ears just above the lobes when wearing the helmet, and scrape my ears when taking the helmet off. Very uncomfortable. I liked the helmet overall, so I just fixed this problem by putting some car door edge guard over the sharp plastic borders. Problem solved, though I may try some foam strips in the future for even more comfort.
