I never thought I'd try a 3/4 helmet as I thought they'd look stupid on me, but...and this is even worse...facebook keeps showing me an advert for HD school, and the guy in advert has a 3/4 and it looks good!!...might have to visit my local store and check them out
Sorry to hear that, suspect the lift problems were related to your fit issue. Bummer as it's a nice helmet.
