Probably yes, but since my AGV suffered a 'failure' i needed one shipped overnight ASAP.
Had my eye on it for a while now...and figured if i hate it, i can sell it.

First impressions: GOt it in today, went out for a brief ride in the rain...
Note: conditions werent too wet but it was drizzling enough.
1. Comfortable as hell. I have an oval shaped head with flatish sides, and the XL was perfectly true to size.
2. A bit noisier than my AGV, but much safer feeling.
3. Fits with over the ear headphones after break in im sure...its only slightly snug right now.
4. Finish (glass black) is beautiful, and appears strong and relatively simple scratch resistant.
5. Sun visor is easy to operate, and works perfectly for me. It hits the bridge of my nose when it comes down, but i have a big pelican beak for a sniffer. Some might want to to put a small piece of athletic tape there to hinder impact, but im nitpicking.
6. Chin support mechanism is smooth gliding and easily lockable. The unlatch procedure is also easy to operate with thick gloves on.
7. Chin strap is a little bulky. Its a ribbed snap through clasp similar to a cross btw a seat belt and a zip tie. Much like old rollerblade clips. Very well made, just a touch large for those of us that dont sit straight up on the bike.
8. Rian runs RIGHT of the sides of the visor with a quick head flick. Very nice convenience.
9. Anti fog insert fvcking works! I could have sex in a sauna in this thing and it wouldnt fog....although trying to get a chick to lay me while wearing it is a different issue altogether.
Overall i like so far.
