I pay no attention to the SHARP rating system. MCN slated the system and Arai lids score poorly. In my opinion Arai lids are amongst the very best in the world. Some very cheap helmets scored well by placing reinforcement at the target test areas, meaning the rest of the lids was sub-standard.
And I don't see how my HJC IS Max scores 3 stars, a flip front lid which stays closed in only 40% of impacts, and my ARAI Chaser also scores 3 stars, a full face lid costing 3 times the price!!

I tend to agree with you, and HJC are among the best in Helmet manufacturers. I bought the AGV because firstly I liked the look of it but mainly because of the comfort. I originally wanted a flip style lid, but none of the ones I tried felt right for me, so have stayed with a full face type.
Anyway it was my second good decision of the year, my first was my Black TDM
