Cats had an evoline and reckoned bits kept falling off it.  The evoline 2 was said to be an improvement.

Got the Evoline 3 flip lid and i love it, it's normally only lowered for a motorway ride, well most times, it's also very good with just the visor down when raining lightly, speakers fit in nice and snug also, not much help i suppose if your after the full face, but decent quality at a mid-way price.

Series 3 now so fingers crossed they've sorted that by now..

Thanks mate - As I ride all year I'm liking the idea of the locked open idea for the hot months (hot + UK = bad grammar??)

Latest = +£100  :huh:

 

Theres one on ebay for £276 from Italy...

 

I'm also looking at the S900 or Vision-R.

 

I really need to get to a shop and spend an hour or so trying on.  Been so long since I last tried any helmet on that what I though didn't might now be ok.

I had one of the early vision-Rs.
I liked it,
Good pull down sun visor, comfortable to wear and not too noisy.
It performed well when I was t-boned by a traffic light jumper 18 months ago.
l use a hjc helmet now and prefer the D-ring fastener it has but will get another Shark next.

Interested to hear comparison between the HJC & Shark, as I have an HJC IS-16 at the moment.  It'll be 9yrs old this summer and has served well!
