Not at all interesting for conversation, but feeling nor-cal-hella stoked (chuffed to bits(?) for those 'cross the eastern pond) about my new lid! Was looking for a mid-range lid with emphasis on venting for trackdays as my other one left much to be desired and a very sweaty head after each session. The SD saw this online and told my wallet to quit being such a cheap b@stard about helmets already
Also picked up a pair of forcefield armored shorts since my bum was pretty much the least protected area inherent to the ass-less chaps

Very nice looking lid! Hope the venting suits your needs on the track!
I just got a new Bell Star Carbon and I'm pretty impressed with its' venting do far (and weight.)

Well, when I say impressed, it's seems to flow more air than my Arai RX7 Corsair I was replacing. I think they all could be better for sure!

Also bought a RPHA 10 + this year, great helmet, but not impressed by the venting, or maybe I'm riding too slow

This is how I feel when I wear it
like i said, prior helmets were cheapo. albeit arai runs $$$ over most brands, in comparing other "top-tier" lids, do you guys feel that once you go top-end you'd never wear a cheaper helmet?
Venting for me is more important over the top of my head, prior helmets had small intakes and extractors. I actually have a problem with too much vent under the chin curtain/visor because i find it dries out my eyes when on the track leading to more blinking/squinting/eye fatigue. also not a fan of wearing shades as the potential fogging and headache are major concerns for me

I've had an RHPA-10 for the last 3ish years.
Really great lid, the vents up top flow a really good amount of air however don't let the little knobs on the vents bump into anything. They'll recess into the shell any chance they get.
