I have been looking for one that has a replaceable shield for the times when a yellow is preferred over a clear or smoke lens.

I'll throw in a vote for the HJC. Comfortable and the visor fit well even over my prescription glasses when I was testing a bunch out recently. To be fair though I opted for the HJC CL-Jet instead of the Cruiser. Drop down shield is nice but does let a bit of air in. Full face shield + sunglass face shield is just more comfortable for me.

I have the Gmax GM65. Comes with 2 shields that don`t require tools to change and a neck curtain that works but feels cheap. Also the liner is coolmax and removable for washing which is a must for any helmet.

The Bell Pitboss does not have a removable liner and is the only reason I did not buy it.

yes I`m sure unless they came out with a new version. That`s the main reason I did not buy it.

Coiuld be that because of the ratcheting system, the liner can`t be made to be removeable. Not really sure.

BikeFire23, 'cept that the liner does not come out. Which means u can't wash it.

I live in S. Florida and ride daily at the hottest time of the day. The liner often gets SOAKED with sweat. A removable liner is not an option to be due to the aforementioned.

I agree with you. What I heard abt the BPB is FANTASTIC tho.

I like my Scorpion half to much maybe.
If needed I'll replace it with another one. Like you the removable liner is a must for me here in West Texas.

I would consider a Pitt Boss only if has a removable liner.
I'm gonna see if I can find out for sure about it. This conversation has my curiosity up.

Found this ???
