If you are looking for a modular helmet that allows you to tlift the chin bar regularly, then you may be disappointed. After a few uses the chin bar failed to releas so i could no longer lift the bar without taking off the helmet. Jerking it violently would eventually release it. Revszilla was great about replacing the helmet, but I say beware to all other buyers. Other than the cold airflow under the chin bar which other models fix with netting, it was a good buy for my first helmet. Have not tried the bluetooth option yet.
Yes, I recommend this product.
