I was waiting for a pricebreak on the Evoline series. I had a series 1 helmet that I abused for years that I had to retire, and needed a replacement. I was using a GMax GM58, which I was very happy with on my cruiser. Upgraded to a Versys and it got LOUD.
Then, RevZilla to the rescue with a closeout sale! I chose the Lumi because...why not? Everything I love about Shark and it glows in the dark too? It's comfortable, a little tight on my giant noggin, even with the XL. The glow feature...well, it definitely glows at home. Doesn't seem to last too long, and out on the street I think it's bright enough that nobody is going to notice it glowing.
Not a lot of airflow, like others say, but you flip up the chin guard and you're cool.
Rides: 2011 Kawasaki KLE650 Versys
Yes, I recommend this product.

Shark Evoline 3 ST Helmet - Solids Sharks masterpiece continues on its evolution. Never has a helmet given you such options between street/road riding, open or full face. Improvements to the Series 3 include Easier manipulation of the chinbar thanks to the Auto-Up system. The unique motion of the Evoline remains unchanged and has become even more natural with the Series3. The Auto-Up system has been simplified - chinbar and main shield are now united in a single movement. Fabrics, finish and style. The interior of the Evoline Series 3 has been totally redesigned and is softer, better and more comfortable. Brand new ventilation design fore and aft. Overall lower weight has been decreased by approximately 200 grams. Features Lexan Polycarbonate shell Shark Easy Fit system for comfortable use with glasses Sharktooth ready Integrated drop down sun shield Removable and washable CoolMax liner ECE 2205 approved with chinbar in both open and closed position ECE 2205 and DOT approved
How forgiving is the size chart? The XL Evoline maxes out at 24.4, but my head measures 24.5-6.
I, too, have a big cranium. The XL works for me, but I definitely notice some hotspots on longer rides. I've seen videos where there's a foam pad under the liner you can remove for a bit more comfort, so I'm looking into that. I'm commuter though, and XL definitely works fine for me.
