It’s great but needs two hands to close the chin piece - perhaps I got one of the faulty ones (was bought discounted at the Scottish Bike Show last year)? Otherwise, no complaints and I’m happy with it. Replacement visors are quite expensive though. The chin piece does lock behind the helmet too, which is quite pleasant when riding gently, and when the weather permits.
I used a BMW System flip up lid a few decades ago - it was excellent, and allowed much better peripheral vision than a subsequent and disappointing Caberg. The Shark is still not as good in this respect either.
I’ll probably look at BMW helmets when I replace the Shark.
I wouldn’t go back to a non-flip helmet though,

I got the same one, a couple of years ago, to be my ‘holiday helmet’ - quite pleased with it, and manage to open and close/secure it with one hand.
I think it was the run-out model, which had all the upgrades of the new model, but without the new paint schemes. It was a bargain for sure.
System 6 was, I think - the first BMW flip lid that lost that nose-heavy attitude - and the Sys 7 is super-comfortable.
