After much huffing and puffing I have ordered (Helmet City) a couple of Shark Helmets, namely the Speed R Sauer in red white and blue for self and the Evoline flip over for the missus. I checked these out at last years bike show and was impressed by the finish styling and more importantly the built in safety features. Love the breath guard and the drop down sun sheild, much deeper than other marques. No more packing and faffing with clear and tinted visors, no more fumbling in the fanny pack searching for toll fees as the flip over turns into a jet style helmet for Amanda, also a bonus for her at filling stations too paying for my fuel
So will post with photies later in bits and bobs 2 x Shoei x1000 Diabolics 1 x for large swede and 1 x for medium swede, Pinlock visors and tinted visors 1 x Shoei x900 in metallic silver small with clear and iridium visor
I x Schuberth Concept in BCR blue (as near as damnitt) size large hardly used (as I felt a tosser wearing it in the up position and looked like zippy from sesame street in the normal mode) seriously it was too big for me. Will post with piccies tommorrow. I want shot as we have too many helmets so will be priced to sell EDIT Now on Bits and Bobs

I've got one of these........very impressed; quiet, comfy, light and best of all, looks fantastic!!
Bad bits.....clear visor can be very hard to moved from closed position.
It's only when machines go wrong that you realise how powerful they really are!!

Was considering an evoline myself recently as I like the spec and style for a flip front. There aren't many reviews about as its still quite new, though some less than favourable ones mentioning the weight and noise levels put me off a bit.
This ain't Twitter you know!

Thats true Dave, I think that is an issue for most flip tops, also it is "Girlie"so I am pleased you reached the conclusion you did
