Well, I have been looking for a new helmet for a while to replace my HJC Symax (flip up) helmet. I really like the flip up but it is bulky and a bit to round for my head.

A buddy of mine bought an Arai Profile and is pretty happy with it but I didn't want to spend that much money and I saw a bad review in this section about one.

So after some research I purchased a Shark RSI Alien Graphics helmet from revzilla.com based on the recommendation of webbikeworld review. They had it on closeout for $249.

Ordered it yesterday morning and wouldn't you know it got here today.

It definately feels much lighter than the HJC and the shape fits my oval head nicely. The padding is pretty good and it flows air rather well.

On top of all that the paint scheme is pretty slick and pulling the visor off is very straight forward.

So if you are looking for a new lid check out the Shark RSI. Seems to be a pretty nice helmet for the $$.
