I've been riding this helmet for the last few months, and I have to say it is leaps and bounds better than my previous helmets. Extremely quiet, excellent fit, and great airflow that I fell in love with during this crazy summer we've had here in Texas. Does extremely well in high heat (110++) and so far it is excellent with the vents closed at down to 55 (coldest it's got down here so far).

How durable is this shield? The clear shield that came with my RS1 is getting pretty crazy pitted/scuffed after only about 2k miles of riding. I'd love one of these transitions shields but I cannot justify dropping this much if it's only going to last half a year.

I see from the size chart that size small has chest of 38-40 and waist of 28-31. I have a size 32 waist, will the small still fit me or do I need to move up to size medium.
I'll say from experience that this jacket fits at least a SOLID size larger than the given measurements. I have a 41" chest and the medium is a solid 2-3 inches larger than expected. I need a Small.
