Shark RSR2


Threw down for a proper race helmet so I could finish off my "wanna-be-racer" outfit...
Wanted a Top of the line helmet and while I really like Arai's fit and finish, nothing really appealed to me in terms of visual stimulation...Skarks Duhmale Replica on the other hand...very nice...even nicer in person.
Fit, finish, and design are top notch.
The Perfect fit for me is a Arai Vector M. I got the RSR2 in a Large, and its 90% a good fit. Little room in the back of the head, but feels great. Interior lining is so nice, its hard to explain.
It is extremely light and comfortable to wear all day (wore it for a total of 3 hours today, and took a 15 min power-nap with it on too).
The visor has great optical clarity and is THICK! Field of view is very good as well. The cheek pads interrupt the periph a bit, but not annoying.

Compared to the Arai RX-7 I would rank this above it (only slightly, as its subjective). Liner fits and feels better, and it feels safer. Those are the two most obvious for me.
Gonna have it on Moday for TTD and Ill comment on how it feels while riding in the rain!
