I have a Schuberth that I have worn for a year now, but with the heat topping 100 on a routine basis I wanted a 3/4 helmet. Airflow is great but, like any 3/4 helmet, it is noisy. It has a tone of configurations. I especially like the drop down sun visor. After a month of use, I am very happy with the purchase.

I ride every day, an so far this helmet has lived up to expectations. It's comfortable and quiet. The most noticeable thing for me has been how it feels while riding. On my R1200 GS Adventure it feels as light as a feather. The aero is so good that my neck is not working all the time. There is no buffeting, even behind big SUV's on the highway. I very happy with my purchase.

I am required to wear glasses on a daily basis and would like to know if this helmet is glasses friendly. If not, I would appreciate some recommendations within the same price range.
There is a channel in the liner for glasses. I did find that with my head it tends to press the glasses down on the bridge of my nose though.
