Ordered from Dennis Kirk for $184 and came in 1 day.

The helmet fits good, I bought the XXXL in white. I look a bit like a storm trooper on the black Vision with this helmet :-) For it's shell size its not bad for weight, and the fit and finish seems pretty good. The slide down sunscreen is definately not dark, I would prefer it to be a another shade darker.

Went for a ride with it today. It is fairly quiet behind the windscreen, I've read that modulars can be a little bit noiser due to the edges where it closes. Behind the windscreen, it's not noisy at all. With the screen down though, it seems quite a bit noisier than I expected and the little flap that slides open to reveal the two holes for ventilation rattles like crazy when it's closed, behind the windscreen or not! When it's open, no problem.

I found that with the windscreen popped open at its first detent, the helmet flows air very very good. Kept my head cool and the interior helps with that as well. 

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with it and will probably keep it. But, I don't think I could wear this helmet without a windscreen, and I'm tempted to send it back due to the noise issues with the Vision screen lowered. 

Anyone else have one and what is your experience with it?
