my new lid turned up one day after order, impressive. Will open the box up in the morning, too knackered tonight.

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...

It is a convertible/flip and i bought the peak for it when it is front-less :lol: £50 size is Large 60cm
If you don't need one like NOW, i will bring it to the next ugly meet.

PS: can't be that large as i normally use 57/58cm medium.

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
