I have a 1/2 helmet now. looking for a better one. I'm hoping this has less/no wind lift at speed.

Anyone have one? Likes? Dislikes?

It has one of those hard hat twisty things to snug up on your head too. It was real comfy. Looking for the downside.

Bought one for me and the wife, absolutely love them, very comfy and riding without windshield is much better than my old HD half helmet b/c the pit boss doesn't lift like my old one did.

I was a little disappointed that the flip down shield didn't block enough wind that I could just use sunglasses, had to go back to my goggles, but I do wear contacts and have pretty sensitive eyes.

It also is less "mushroomy" than my old HD half helmet. I would definitely buy again, it's the best half helmet that I have owned so far.
