Bought this as my first bike lid and assumed it was an example of cheap and cheerful until I wore my two subsequent helmets and realised that the V2R actually did things really quite well.

The vents are useful and stay open/closed as desired, visor fogging can be an issue, but is a lot better than both the Held and Arai lids I've worn.

The flip down sun visor I used more than I thought I would, handy both for Sun glare and just protecting eyes while riding with the visor open, although I did feel concious of looking like a Darth Vader wannabe.

Safety I've put at 9 since the government tests gave it a 5 star rating in their safety tests and I can't think of a reason to disagree.

The wind noise is possibly the worst feature, with a gap in the padding right by the ear that channels wind and bugs.

Good budget lid, especially if you always have the visor down.

Great value lid with a good range of sizes, have used for three years with no problems everything still works fine, visor not too scratched.

Mists up a lot and vents not brilliant, also pretty noisy at motorway speeds.

Comfortable fit and nice lining that has not started to smell [too much!] that can be removed for washing.

Overall a pretty good helmet. Worth a look...
