I've got it, not tried it on the bike yet but it's very comfy and looks awesome, much better in the flesh. I paid £143.99 for it from lids direct with a 10%off code.

Hopefully will be wearing it on the bike for the first time on Wednesday Thumbs Up

paid £129.99 for mine Laughing

It's a good helmet to be fair, for the price you can't go wrong. It's not the loudest by far but there ARE quieter helmets out there. the lining is nice and thick and is easily removable.

The chin vent FEELS a little flimsy.. like it would come down at high speeds but it's all good.

Mine came with the helmet bag which is dog shite and is split all down the seams after just storing the helmet in there.

Looks great with a mirrored visor.

To sum up I wouldn't pay the full listed price for it.. but for £150 I would happily get another.

Yeah been looking at those on ebay for about £35. Is that a reasonable price for one?

Still have the 10% code?

I got an iridium visor for around £25 from race visors.

It was SALE10 but it may have expired now.

Also try lidsdirect15 (that was a recent one for 15%)

I have the HQ-1 (predecessor?) and have used it regularly for 3 years. Can't fault it in any way.
