Is it just me or does anyone else find it difficult to believe that helmet makers still find it difficult to make a quiet helmet with a visor that doesn't steam up.
All I ever see advertised are the usual "My helmet is JUST LIKE ROSSI's" crap.  >:(

I loved the Lazer Revolution but predictably they have now stopped making them.
Their replacement (Monaco) does not have the double-glazed never-mist-up visor but does have a visor that darkens automatically.
Try explaining that to PC Dunce when he nicks you for your dark visor.
Yes, the Revolution is a bit noisy but the build quality is superb and I am about to replace my 3rd one..
#1 lasted 5 years, #2 lasted 6 months but saved my head from impact with a Xsara Picasso, #3 has also survived 5 years of daily use.
If they still sold them I would be buying one right now. I found one dealer who has some left but no Mediums left and,... yes I am a Medium head.  :(

I too am tempted by the Shark Evoline II but can't believe that it isn't fitted for a Pinlock as standard.
I ride all year round and after decent crash protection the most important thing is being able to see with the visor closed.
After that I need a sunvisor and would like comfort and decent ventilation.
The last thing I give a **** about is the colour/paintjob.
It's a lid. It's gonna get scratched and chipped and bug-splatted and rained on and salt/grit solution blasted at 90Mph.

Ok, maybe I would like one in Team Green but I'll settle for Black.

I definately would not want a visor which darkened automatically.  :o
