Pieces Fall Off and It Fogs But Great Value Nonetheless
It's not a five star helmet but it's a five star VALUE for a helmut. Here are the issues I have had so far.
First, a small plastic piece snapped off exposing the screws (see picture below). It's held on by three plastic tabs and when they break you can't put it back on. There is no loss of function through. Just a look thing.
Second, one of the screws holding on the visor connector fell off (see picture). This is a big issue as the visor now hangs off and needs to be removed. So you're driving without it. I went right to home depot, removed the remaining screw, found duplicates, and repaired the helmut. You may want to keep a Philips screwdriver with spare screws on you at all times. For reference the screws are M4-0.7 mm 8 x mm, stainless steel, Philips flat head, and you get them in the speciality racks in hardware where they have the metric sizes.
Finally it'll fog when it gets cold and especially when it's cold and rainy. Rain-X Anti-Fog does work but you need to apply liberally, let it dry completely, buff lightly to clear, breathe on it to see if there's any fog at all and, if there is, you may need to apply again. I should be good to go after a second application. You may find condensation forming where your nose breathes on the visor and you may need to re-apply every other run if it's moist outside. I bought a second visor so I always have one ready to go.
