Don't know why they bother including the gloves, they are worthless. Porous fabric doesn't keep wind down, the hard sections for your knuckles don't seem like they'd survive a 5 year old's karate class and the stitching comes apart in front of your eyes.
But the helmet. I'll preface this by saying I've only worn single piece full helmets for the last 30 years. Having the hinged jaw is a game changer for me. I wear glasses, and they were always a pain to wear with helmets and never sat right. I can't wear contacts, but about once every two to three years I try again just because the helmets pinch the glasses and vibrate them and longs trips give me a headache. I then lose my eyesight due to severe pinkeye and for a month on steroid eyedrops to get back to normal, I swear off contacts forever. Until the next time.
But, this helmet has saved me from ever doing that again. Flip the jaw up, the glasses slide right in and are easily adjusted for comfort. The helmet is nice and tight fitting but without the eyeglass arms getting bound up. For fit alone, I'd give it 5 stars - best fitting helmet I've owned, even outside the glasses issue.
The jaw hinge seems sturdy. I've had it about three months, and in TX ride year round, several times a week at least. Even with the colder temps, I don't notice a lot of air leakage. It has a little slider that will pull down the shaded windscreen behind the clear one, and you can either slide it back up or it will retract with the jaw motion. I don't much like sunglasses, and it was always not worth it to swap windscreens on my other helmets, so this is nice for the few minutes near dusk/dawn riding nearly into the sun.
The bluetooth is reliable, connects to the phone easily. The controls are a bit weird in my opinion, but easy enough to get used to. I like the integrated bluetooth - previously I've had some externally mounted ones that always had one problem or another, but so far it has worked flawlessly.
It is a bit weak on the volume. I can hear perfectly fine up to about 45-50. By 60, I can't listen to podcasts (or, presumably, a call), but music is o.k. I bought this helmet at the same time I got a different bike, so I can't say for sure whether the new bike is noisier or these just have a lower top volume. But, honestly, if I have the helmet on in the house it is plenty loud, and it probably isn't good long term to have much higher volume on for hours at a time on the road.
Overall, I really like the new helmet.
