I have four of these now - it's the only helmet I've found so far that fits my long oval head. I got pressure point on my forehead on my Arai helmets - not so this one. It's super comfy, and the graphics are beautiful.
In 2 crashes, the helmet worked well and protected my head - zero issues.
The only downside I see is that the interior material deteriorates faster than say on an expensive helmet. Fit, looks, comfort, protection are the same as on a much more expensive helmet; durability is where you can see why it's cheap.
Another slight negative - the helmet has great ventilation - whether you want it or not. So if it's cold, it gets cold inside.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I *love* these boots - they're very comfortable but buy one size up as they're cut really small. I normally wear EUR size 44 but got these from a store and chose 45, and they're still smallish.
That said, they're super comfortable and for protection all I can say is I crashed them twice and there's nary a scratch on them - they're just rock solid, and they will protect your feet. On one occasion my whole body hurt - but not my feet.
They're the most comfortable hard boots I've ever walked in, too. They're not as nice as soft sneakers but for the level of protection they provide I don't think comfort can be any better.
Ventilation is great, never had an issue and I am riding in tropical temperatures.
All in all, a fantastic product that works well. Looks good, too.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I am riding this jacket in a tropical climate.
The good: Airflow is amazing while riding; Jacket looks awesome - one of the best looking. Fit is true to size.
The bad: This jacket is very hot when stopped. That's not a joke - I've had other jackets that aren't nearly as hot; it's a combination of the cut and the inner liner. The liner is just uncomfortable in the heat. Had I known this in advance, I wouldn't have bought it.
Another issue: There is no zip in liner for wind protection on cold mornings. As mentioned airflow when riding is colossal so it can get *cold* - I need a wind shirt to take this jacket touring, even in the tropics.
Zippers could be better quality, I noticed that they're a bit hard to operate when they get dusty. Not a huge issue but I expect perfect zippers on brand name gear.
All in all this does not work in the tropics, and was money wasted. It may work better elsewhere though, and it looks really good.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bell Transitions SolFX Photochomatic Faceshield for Bell Star, Bell Vortex, Bell Revolver, and Bell RS-1 Helmets Transitions Photochromatic shields automatically adjusts to light conditions, darkening when exposed to sunlight and clearing in low light. It eliminates the need change between tinted and clear shields when riding in the light of day, the darkness of night and anything in between. Features Shield tint automatically adjusts to lighting conditions Bell NutraFog II anti-fog coating reduces fogging Anti-scratch and UV-protected coatings block 99 percent of UV rays Compatible only with Bell ClickRelease shield system (featured on Star, RS-1 and Vortex full-face helmets)
How dark does it get?
I am wondering if it goes all the way black like the sun visor shields - that would be a problem as where I live blacked out sunshields (or windshields for that matter) are illegal. And it's really sunny here too.

Revit Airwave
I just bought an Ignition 2 in a 48 and it fits perfect; what size Airwave should I order? I was thinking medium. 5'10 155lb 40" chest. Thanks.
For what it's worth, Medium fits me perfectly. I am 5'11 177lb

What accessories go with this? Does it come with an insulated or waterproof liner?
Liner?
Insulated?
Waterproof?
Insulated?
Waterproof?
It does not. It has no zipper to zip in a liner. So at cold mornings you need separate wind protection. Need rain gear as well.
