Think they are all the same. I had to 'persuade' mine to fit the scuttle. Worked in the end.

I found a motorbike helmet would try and lift all the time, as I believe it is designed more for 'head down' use. Oooer.

Since getting my V2 Helmet I've not had this issue. http://www.v2sport.com/Elite/V2elite-wh ... icles.html

The aeroscreen actually made the wind worse for me as it directs the full airflow straight at my head - I am tall. For shorter passengers it is much improved.

David,
I'm sure I've asked this question of the V2 before but when I tried one on at Autosport a few years back and found the face / chin guard was very close to my face/mouth. Does yours feel the same?

Not had an issue and I've got a fairly non-standard long face/chin. :lol: It really does help keep the misting down, although on a very cold morning you do need to open the visor a crack at low speeds.
