AFX FX-50 Helmet, Black, Size: Sm, Primary Color: Black, Helmet Category: Street, Helmet Type: Open-face Helmets 0104-0943 Review

Great helmet overall, perfect for city riding, scootering or touring. It features a high quality build (specially for this price range), relatively quiet and light, very confortable and offers outstanding visibility (great FOV) along with good looks and style.
On the weak side, I think the face shield mechanism is a little stiff, and with the lack of a lift tab, it can be annoying specially when you need to rise it. Same happens with the chin strap ratchet system, nice and secure but it's so tight that is almost impossible to handle with one hand.
Besides, the face shield seems to be made with not-so-good materials, cause it seems to be transparent at daylight but at night it becomes a little bit foggy (no matter how clean it is), especially when it's caught by front lights and/or reflections. Perhaps this is barely noticeable to the one who has never had a better quality helmet but none of my past helmets (Bell, Nolan, LS2, Vcan) have had this issue.
Sun shield tint feels about right for my needs (I live in south america, with sunny days all year long), but it doesn't drop down far enough to come anywhere near my nose, so the gap between the edge an my nose can be a little more than distracting.
So, be advised, this odd sun shield's height could be a problem if you buy a size too tight to the shape of your head, because you may have very little room in the shell to adjust the height of the sun shield at an acceptable distance over your nose. In my case, my head is 56 cm (22 inches) in diameter and according to AFX chart, 'S should be my size. This size fits me very close-fitting, so when I use the sun visor and I try to adjust the whole helmet by tilting it down, the shape of my head does not match the hull's, so that generates a very uncomfortable pressure in my forehead. The result: headache after about 30 minutes of use. Perhaps if I had ordered a larger size, this issue wasn't a problem.
However, these flaws are not a real reason to say this helmet is not worth it, I'd say quite the opposite: I highly recommend this helmet for its price, versatility, quality, comfort and style.
PS. I beg apologize for my limited english.
