After first ride (2 hours tour); the helmet feels very sturdy, but heavier compared to my previous helmet (HJC CL-16). What is nice about the Sintesi is the easy access drop down visor for day time riding. Still getting used it though, when turning my head right or left, i felt the visor on my nose. Another nice feature is the flip up, to pull the front down, you actually have to lift then drop (rotating movement). this makes it more stable for riding with the flip-up like an open face helmet. You can have the visor down in the open face variant as well. Its also bluetooth ready, but I heard from the dealer that the communication box costs almost as much as the helmet does. :confused1:
I found the helmet a little noisy from the wind as I was riding above 60km/hr. Comparing it to my previous HJC helmet, the vision is a little more restricted especially when looking over my shoulder. The fit is very comfortable, at first it was a little annoying around the ears, but i didnt feel a thing after riding. It feels tight and secure, which is a good thing. I especially like the quick release system for the chin strap.
Its too early to judge, but my older helmet is more comfortable concerning visibility. or maybe i still need to get used to wearing the new helmet for a long ride. :scooter: I will update this review once i do.
here is a quick link to a picture i found online... http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/prod...front_side.jpg

Here are some pictures of the Sintesi helmet. The top vent is not sufficient on hot days, but plenty of wind enter from under the chin area. good in summer days, for colder days i can install the wind stopper under the chin which comes with the helmet.
I will update this review if i have additional comments after a longer ride...
