Helmet Review
Recently bought an AGV K4 and thought i would give everyone a quick review of it.
Inital impression, very good indeed!
The helmet itself has 2 off-centre vents above the visor and one in the centre below, all of them open/closable. The vent mechanisms feel very positive and feel like they will last a long time. A quick release strap with a big release tab makes getting it on and off with thick gloves on a piece of p***.
With the two top vents shut the helmet is very quiet, 70mph with nothing more than a (very) faint whistle. Open up the top vents though and it starts to get very windy in there (Although this does help with fogging when you get it).
The field of view is also excellent on this helmet; there is almost no restriction of normal sight.
I suppose everyones head is different but mine is a lovely fit! Padding is really soft as well compared to some shark helmets i tried on.
Price-wise I picked mine up for £180.00 off a seller on Amazon. (wasnt the cheapest K4 out there, but i had vouchers to use). Think its a very good helmet for the price.

Re: Helmet Review
Thanks Ben, good to know what they are like - have sort of cast an eye that way.
Do you wear ear plugs?
