Overall I gotta say this is the lightest helmet I have ever owned in my collection of motorcycle helmets. The vents actually work as well as the defogger vents. I highly recommend the accessories (shield/ visor) if you like the helmet and it fits well. Whether or not you get the smoked or mirror you can't go wrong. As for ride quality it shuts out most* of the wind when I'm riding on the freeway. There is a removable lining which is nice to wash every once in a while. The only room for improvements I could see in this helmet is when you put it on you gotta use your fingers or wiggle the helmet around to get your ears to uncurl. On a side note this helmet is not Snell rated in an attempt by AGV to keep the costs down. Other than that I would highly recommend this helmet to a friend any day. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. The AGV Stealth Shadow was built to last as well as be the best bang for your buck.
