I have this one: https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/bell-...ay-care-helmet

Very comfortable, great venting and a transition shield with multiple stops. No need to wear sunglasses with this shield. Works just like transition Rx lenses.

Shoei RF1200. Best fit, venting, weight, features, field of view etc. I tried on the other Shoei's and this fit my head best, so this is the best for my needs obviously, not everyone.

I have to say I was super mad for about a year because they don't make a "dark smoke" visor. The dark smoke is really light gray (lighter than your average sunglasses) and the photochromatic shield that changes from light to dark still doesn't go full blackout and I'd get some sun and people can still see you through it.

Just came up with a solution last week...got the dark smoke pinlock internal liner (which also stops 100% of fogging up inside. I rode at night in 40 degree weather and it just won't get foggy!!)

Anyway: medium smoke pinlock plus medium smoke photochromatic visor = dark smoke. The tinted pinlock is still light enough to use at night but goes black during the day. Perfect for me.

I thought I got the medium smoke, but maybe it was the dark smoke...

It's only the 1200 for some reason. 1100 has full limo tint available.

Left is "dark smoke" and right is the photochromatic at full dark. Just goes purplish, but people can still see your eyes. I don't like that haha.

I use a Schuberth C3 Pro. It fits extremely well and it's quiet. The main visor has a Pinlock visor to eliminate fogging and it stays open as well in a vent position. It also has the flip down tinted visor. I also have the SRC installed which connects to the helmets built in Bluetooth and FM radio antennas. I like being able to listen to Pandora and receive GPS audible commands . Being able to answer phone calls using voice commands is nice also. I also really like the quick attach strap system as opposed to the normal D rings.


Downside is the cost.

I'm rocking a Simpson Ghost Bandit


Lot of people given this helmet ordinary reviews but I think it's great. No buffeting behind a quarter fairing and laminar lip, quiet enough and looks bad ***.
