Just bought an AGV carbon modular, my first AGV in years and got to say I'm impressed.

Said it before, and ill say it again...……….
This one for me, Comfortable, relatively quiet and reasonably priced.

I have had Arai quantum st, nexx xd1 and Arai Chaser. The AGV is without doubt a premium lid, the first thing you notice is just how light it is and extremely stable at speed, in fact I'd say the most stable helmet I've ridden in. It's reasonably quiet . I wear custom plugs anyway. Comfort wise, no issues at all.Is it quiet?
What helmet did you change from, what is the comfort like.
Lastly, do you have any comms. The last time I contacted AGV they said it was coming.
I have tried on the Neotec 2 the Peterborough show, this and the AGV are on my short list. Any help would be much apreciated.
Thanks

I use an Evoline 1 and I find the visor seal is not very good, rain runs down the inside of the visor and then it mists up forcing you to open the visor slightly.
Basically is the Evoline 3 any better(I hope) and you say it is lighter, which would be good.
Just a quick update.
After a lot of trialling...
I have bought a HJC RPHA 90 from J&S.
It felt as good as the Shoei Neotec
But a little lighter and cheaper.
Comes with pin lock included.
I'm not collecting it until next week. I'll do a little feedback after.
And just about fits the vario case.

reasonably heavy too it seems?

This was a concern for me before I got my Evoline3 but it has not been an issue at all, just don’t notice it.
I’ve had mine that long it is about time I bought a new one, will be checking out the latest version -is it called the Evo one two or something?
I saw the evo one two at get geared in Leeds and the recommended method of closing is to squeeze at both sides. The evo three works better closing with one hand front and one at the back.
The evo three does suffer from water ingress onto the visor in the rain but the mechanism on the one two appear to solve this aspect.
The main reason I liked the Shark evo is the ability to fold the chin bar all the way back rather than simply “up” which creates a big sail upon your head!
Only disadvantage of the full back design is that it stops one mounting a camera for those POV award-winning footage.
Bmw are doing deals on the system 7, worth a look.

The sales person I spoke to when I returned the helmet mentioned the 2 handed closing requirement but the sales person that sold me the helmet never mentioned this, quite honestly if it requires 2 handed closing it defeats the object and the flexibility of being able to ride with the chin bar raised or lowered, who wants to stop to close the chin bar or risk using 2 hands when on the move?
I chose the Evo One 2 over the other Shark flip helmets because I had read about the water ingress and scratched visors on the earlier variants, the Evo One 2 seems to get over this problem and the revised mechanism is a clever piece of design, I also like the idea of the chin piece folded all the way back to avoid the sail effect, the disadvantage you mention doesn't bother me in the slightest I've toyed with the idea of a Go Pro but that period has definitely passed
I found the same issue re closing it before buying...I really wanted it to work, but have taken the evo one 2 off my list now. http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/496843-Blue-tooth-for-Shark-Evo-one-2-flip-helmet
