That Uvix looks cool plus there's the advantage of not being mistaken for Charlie

I've always bought helmets on comfort and fit.

I have the Uvex carbon lid, i love it...but a mate of mine also had one and just couldn't get happy with it. his kept misting up but i've never had that problem..
I must say its the lightest and one of the most comfortable helmets i,ve ever used..:)
Visor change system is very quick and easy..vision excellent..also very quiet..

Just try one on...you'll be amazed at just how light it is..
Treat every situation like a dog..

If you can't hump it or eat it, piss on it and walk away.

The Uvex looks the nuts....however, having sold helmets for a living in the past the most important thing is the fit. No good having a sweet looking lid if it steams up, gives you a headache or your chin is pressing onto the chinbar.

Don't rush into buying one just because it looks nice......

I'd strongly recommend the BMW Enduro helmet - very light in standard trim, great visibility and a visor that doesn't seem to mist up, even tho it's a standard single skin. I'm on to my second (the first has been relegated to purely mud duty)

As others have said, fit is everything so go try one on
