Just a followup to my earlier post regarding the Shark Evoline. I bought one three mos. ago and wore it on a 6,000 mile trip which included a visit to Hood River during the NW GTG. I appreciate the design of the helmet allowing it to be worn either fully closed or with the face piece flipped back as a 3/4 helmet. Little or no wind noise, makes refueling quick and easy without having to remove it, let's some cool air in when needed, (trip was in July with 100+ degree days), used the flip down sun shield riding into the afternoon sun, and using the J&M installed headset allowed for great bike to bike communication, cell phone use (using Jim Bissonette's BT device), and full days of good music covering 700 miles a day. I bought a Large which was too snug at first, but the XL was too big. I ended up removing a front small piece of padding at the forehead which I think is just used to scale down the XL to a L but left all else alone and it now fits great. Besides all of that, I got the "Absolute" version in black with charcoal tribal graphics which matches my black/crimson SEUC. Since then, my riding buddy has bought one for himself and his wife. They're pricey but as the wise Turk said, "Buy the best and cry once".
