A very comfortable helmet, with great visibility. The visor has the three positions with the locking system, [locked - free - defogging/cracked open]. Visor is quick and easy to change.
Chin strap is comfy.
I can't notice any difference with the upper vents open or closed, I would prefer more airflow across the top of my head. [compared to my Fox V3 Carbon - which has great ventilation, i know that's a MX helmet though]
Due to wind noise at anything over 60km/hr I would recommend the SHOEI WHISPER STRIP KIT for long trips, as most of the noise comes from under the chin/neck area.
