Says comes with tinted visor... So ordered one read for the summer commute... the Caberg riviera i have is a demi jet and bloody painfull on the ears...
Have an HJC flip, but spent most of the summers time flipped up... Hopefully this will be a similar fit and a lot lighter...

If you don't need one like NOW, i will bring it to the next ugly meet.

Mine turned up today Monday ordered Fri it is a Medium same as my other helmets but feels a
bit tight though it fits with my glasses and it will slacken with use, suspect the next size up
would be a perfect fit but would get to slack after a bit of use, came with a spare slightly
smoked visor that takes seconds to change and 2 spare screws, D type fastener that I like nothing to
go wrong, good quality and better than the more expensive one it is replacing very happy with it.

Hopefully mine will turn up today... Silver
I have an HJC IS MAX-2 flip...
Normally a Medium in Arai, Caberg etc.but went Large on the IS Max, as the HJC seem to come up a little snug, and overlap a little according to their sizing M=57-58 L=58-59... rather than some like Caberg M=57-58 L=59-60...
Went Large of the Jet as well...
Some sites / reviews say they come with a Dark Visor, Some say Smoke Visor, hopefully enough to take the edge off in summer...
Does the lid feel really light? - had some good reviews, almost on par with the Arai Ram... almost...

EDIT: Arrived late today....
NOTE: Month/Year Stickers says JAN 2013... So 5 Years Old in the Box!... Should still be good for 2-3 Years of use.
L fits fine, wouldnt want it any tighter...
Very light weight, sticker says 1150g
Exta visor is light tint... Which should take the edge of in a month or so's time when its no longer dark on the way home...
Just purchased a dark tint for £25 from eBay ready for (and hoping for...) the Sun in Summer...
Manual doesnt mention the fitting of comms kit, so i supose its possible, but not a designed in feature, otherwise it would be mentioned as a selling point...
Give it a 'wear' on tommorows commute
