    Got one.
    Love it.

    The convenience of the flip-up tinted visor is great. Among other
    things, I rode through a cloud of insects a few weeks back that would
    have had me stopping to clean the visor so I could see. I just flipped
    up the tinted visor until I got to the next servo.

    Mine came with an anti-fog insert that worked a treat on a weekend in
    may where I got turned back by snow at Adaminaby. The chin curtain
    helped me to deal with the cold.

    It's a little quieter than my previous helmet. The flip up visor
    doesn't seem to add to the noise.

    The one handed chinbar release takes a couple of minutes to get used to,
    but it's secure and easy to operate.

    I haven't even priced the bluetooth gear.

    A guy today quoted me a 'special' price of $279 for a plain coloured one
    that he is getting a few in in different sizes so I may try and buy in the
    next few days.

    Seems like a bloody bargain.

    No, Mine's a N102. It has provision for a comms system and a different
    chinbar release. It also comes with an anti-fog insert.

    It has the same dual-visor setup.

    God, in a white one of those, you'd look like you'd escaped off the set
    of star wars!

    Hmmm....Interesting. I'll be looking at getting a new helmet soon. Might have to try one of these. Although just looking at the pics
    I'd imagine having the tint only come part way down would annoy the crap outta me.

    I'll make sure I sit on my bike when trying the helmets on.

    For me the tint covers the road etc where most glare comes from, and the
    untinted part is the bit where I look at instruments etc. It works nicely.
