modular helmets
I have a Shark Evoline 2. I ride with the chin bar up all the time. I drop the chin bar in place when hitting the Interstate or other high speed roads. It's reasonably quiet, but could be better (I often wear earplugs). The internal sunshade scratched in the middle from raising/lowering, but Shark replaced the shade (just took awhile) at no cost. The fit is excellent, but I might be trying another helmet in the future. I did have one of the carbon, low profile half's from Outlaw, but it's gone now. I'll think go with one of the Aria's, Shoei's, or ??? Haven't done much looking yet.

I have a Voss with flip up sunshade. Paid about $125 but only have it for winter riding. As far as fitment we all have different shaped heads. Sometimes you just have to mess with them to get to fit properly. Recently bought a Fulmer V2 3/4 and felt good in store but after a couple hours started feeling pressure certain spots. Pressed the styrofoam at pressure points and now all is good.

JUst ordered a N44 Nolan, will see if it works.. if not, I will try to get a Neotec or maybe a open face RJ Platinum... I now have a open face 3/4 Gmax and I keep a flip up snap on visor in the saddle bag for rainy days.

I hve one that I purchased at my local dealer (prob made by HJC). I like it and after it saved me from what could have been a life threatening injury last Oct. I will never be caught without it.
I ride with a Harley Full Face Modular, it does not have the flip down sunglasses so saved a bit of money there. Paid $185.00 at the local dealer. Very comfortable and well ventilated.
It isn't made to be ridden with the chin bar flipped up as it becomes extremely top heavy and awkward when the wind hits it. I often ride with the wind screen flipped up and flip it down on the highway or during rain.
Thought for sure it would feel real claustrophobic but it doesn't.
