High quality, quite comfortable, but only for relaxed cruising (19.05.2018)

I used this helmet for 4 days, and then I was involved in a low speed crash. The helmet took a small hit against the tarmac, and I hardly felt it. The triple density EPS liner did its work, and I will be buying another one soon.
While I've only been able to use it for 4 days, I've put it to the test in a variety of conditions.
First off, since it's not a full face helmet, the usability is less than with a full face or modular helmet. Your face is unprotected, not only in a crash, but also against wind, bugs, debris, cold, and rain. In addition you will need motorcycle suitable eye-wear to protect your eyes while riding. This is a fair weather helmet, for relaxed cruising only. I would not recommend this as your main helmet if you're an all weather rider.
At speed, the wind noise becomes excessive, and you'll need ear protection (recommended anyways, but you'll definitely need it with an open face helmet).
There will also be excessive lift when you're chasing down the highway. I'd say this helmet is comfortable up to speeds of 100 km/h or 60 mph. I've briefly ridden 170 km/h in this helmet, and it felt like someone was trying to rip it off my head.
All in all it's a great helmet for use on a cruiser bike, in city traffic, or for cruising down the boulevard or back roads while the sun is shining. I would not recommend wearing this on the freeway, or if it's cold or raining.
