I bought this helmet. Have worn it both with the visor or with the face shield (you can wear it either way. Fits well, feels good. The cost at the dealer was no more than anyone elses out there.

Boy, I'll second this! The snaps rattling will drive you nuts. Great helmet otherwise, but does someone have a suggestion to quiet down the snaps rattling on the visor?

Hmmm....I've got an RJ Platinum R and so far, I haven't had any issues with the Visor snaps (knock on wood).

Probably the easiest solution is to buy a new visor (stupid to 'have' to do this, but a solution, none-the-less).

My wife has the Harley version of the HJC AC-3, it weighs nothing, she loves it.

I bought a NEXX-X60 with open/close air vents, articulating external face shield and a super neat quick release ratchet strap with padded chip guard.

The helmet is super light and the air vents allow me to wear it on 100+ degree AZ days.

I love the helmet but I think the company SUCKS; I don’t believe that they could tell the truth if their life depended upon it! Once they ran my credit card (twice) it took several calls and threatening e-mails before they finally shipped and they didn’t ship the right color but I actually like this one better than the one I ordered.

In my opinion…great helmet…screwed up company!

I'm looking for a 3/4 helmet for my daughter, she's outgrown the size S she's been using the past few years. I'd like to find a size M for her, so if anyone out there has one laying around let me know.

I've debated going to a 3/4 helmet from my 1/2 helmet..........but the hard part is finding one to fit my size 8 1/4 head.
