Size is good, if not slightly tight. I wish the helmet was offered with choice of cheekpad width instead of having to order after. I had to order 20mm width cheekpads after and now it fits perfect. Helmet is amazingly well made. Visor is pretty flimsy compared to my Shark MXR dirt helmet. Helmet is quiet enough for intercom use (Chatterbox boom open face style used inside). Face shield has a bit of distortion but I can see why as it is fairly pointed in the middle to match the chin guard. Overall one of the best helmets I have owned.

Great Helmet
I just bought my first bike (Kawasaki KLR650) and needed a good quality helmet that not only looked cool, but kept my head cool when riding in this hot summer heat. This helmet has great ventilation and should an accident happen, I feel confident my bean will be safe in the XD-3! I wish the cost was a little less, but all too often you do get what you pay for. So, is saving my head worth the extra money....you bet!

Best helmet I have owned. Definitely not great on highway but that is not it's intent. Also, gets kind of hot for serious off-road. Very comfortable and looks great IMO

Love it. Better than the XD I had for three years. Feels lighter, not as much turbulence, more compact visor.

Excellent Helmet
Bought this helmet specifically for use in the hot Texas summer and have been using it on 250+ mile rides in 95+ degree heat. Very comfortable and moves a lot of air. This will extend my riding through the dog days of summer.
