Thought I would add to this. I got one after seeing this post and wanting to try out an "adventure" helmet. I ordered mine from Amazon for about the same price as the site on Ebay. I wore it for a 100 mile ride with a mix of speeds. Here's my review:
Pros
Wider field of vision
Great airflow.
Drop down visor goes lower then others I've had.
Beak on top blocks out sun (primary reason I was trying out helmet)
Nice fit. I wear an XL and it is perfect
Cons
It's loud but most helmets are. Nothing that ear plugs can't fix.
There was a few times that the beak caught the wind when I turned my head. Nothing bad, it was just something that I had to adjust to.
That's it on the cons. As for the noise, I found that the helmet was louder with the shield all the way down. This makes sense as all the air is passing underneath creating a vacuum. I fixed that by opening the shield slightly. Which brings up another pro. I like to ride with the shield slightly open anyway. This one doesn't seem to have defined stops in the shield position. I really like this as I can open it slightly to increase the air flow, get rid of the extra noise, and the air doesn't shoot into my eyes that has happened on other helmets.
So all and all, I'm pleased with the purchase. Thanks Bogieboy for letting us know about this helmet.
