I posted it in my blog but I have to share some more. Its so pretty and normally I hate flowers!
Its a Shark helmet and I adore the fit. It works for my face much better then my HJC. I found it in Boston when Nalian and I where going to some bike shops. I had wanted a lighter colored helmet as well and something that said female a bit more. I have a blue mirrored visor on it. I had ordered a chrome/silver one but they didn't have that in stock.

Three hours of riding later and my cheeks are a bit sore, understandable with a new helmet. The fit is great, its quieter then my HJC. I also don't get as much wind blowing up under the chin and over my eyes. It has a little bit of a breath guard that really seems to be working for me. Also the jaw area is further away. For some reason in my HJC it was very close and sometimes the wind pushed it back into my lower jaw. That was making me a bit nervous if I went face first. It is also lighter in weight.
The visor change system is a bit different but pretty easy to use once I have a clue. The tint is also VERY dark. I rode into the sun on the way home at sunset and it filtered the light without a problem. I am photosensitive so this was very exciting for me.
The top vent does work. There is a bit of a whistle when its open but I could feel the cool air over the top of my head. The shell also feels a little bit more flexible? If that makes sense. I was pushing on it and I could feel the faintest flex to it.

My new helmet will be in next week. My other helmet got bonked and has a crack so I needed to replace it. The new line of Shark helmets is great. I got to try one on at the m/c event on the weekend. I ordered a girly one. I've never really been "girly"...feminine, yes, but girly, no.
Hey, thanks. It has some good features. Like easy on and off visor. And it has a sun visor that slides up and down over the clear one. There is also a decent vent on the top.
