finally got my new helmet a medium size roof desmo similar to shark evoline in that it is a jet and a full face . this modular design has the chin bar rotating all the way to the back of the head the idea being avoiding buffeting by the chin bar over the top of the helmet. you can see on the net many video about it it is a great idea and the reason I bought it.
I found it to be right for my head shape (58 medium) well made rather lightweight with a quick ratchet clip for closure .
however not much better than regular jet for wind noise in any config.
I would recommend it without a doubt it is just what I expected in terms of flexibility
and priced at $500 .it is not DOT certified in canada but meet the euro certification as a jet ,and full face and that is good enough for me.
for any captain thinking about it I give it overall a 9 out of 10
 
I bought this one that Nolton shared a few months ago. The peripheral vision is awesome and the removable chin bar did it for me. I can remove it on long trips (morning only) until I get my fill of coffee and then back together she goes. Gonna go get the wife one of these when she starts feeling better and decides to ride with me again. I gave 149.99 for mine at a local shop.

matter of fact I looked at it along with another jet but figured if I remove the chin bar while on the road while riding I would have to find a spot to store it that 's why I went the desmo route the perif vision is equally similar to a good jet ,and unlike the evoline that squeeze your cheeks the desmo is fairly wide open and in the shipping box there is a bag with shoulder strap to carry your prized helmet ok that is not a big deal but if you are concerned about theft well that bag becomes useful
 

That's really neat and well priced - cant find them in the UK though. I like the full length visor when im oped-faced mode, unlike the Roof and Shark.

Have emailed S and S for a UK/EU distributor.
