Default agv K-4 EVO

My new lid just arrived today. Bought it from STG last Friday night (7/12/13) and it was on my doorstep this afternoon so 5 days. My old lid is a HJC CL15 Cyclone. The agv is a lot lighter. It is also a lot more snug, don't know if that is cause it is new and the old one is 4 years old. Overall quality seems to be great. I can say that I like the visor release system on the HJC better though. My first ride will be tomorrow on the way to work so I can report back then how it feels, wind noise, field of vision, etc but I expect it to be great and a lot better than my old HJC.

So far my opinion is that this is a very good helmet. For wind noise I'd give it a B+ to a A-. Below 45-50 the wind noise is very minimal, above 50mph the wind noise starts to pick up. It is a lot better than my HJC though. There is no buffeting. Field of Vision on it is A+. With my HJC, I would have to tilt my head down to read my gauges, with the agv I just have to glance down. Ventilation is great, it was 96 degrees today and I wasn't sweating (in my helmet at least). The fit is awesome, it is very light so a completely different feel than my HJC. Overall I would say this is a great helmet and glad I made the purchase.
