Overall I like the helmet. I have worn quieter but I think that may have more to do with my head shape. The visor is great and is barely noticeable at highway speeds.
The geometry is great. Unlike other helmets, I do not feel like my head is going to twist off when I look over my shoulder.
It is lightweight and very comfortable...a great value (especially since I saved $170 because SHOEI was discontinuing the racing stripes!)
