The first lasted six years and is still in good shape. I went to Europe to get the latest generation. I can say that build quality is still excellent. I have had no problems like were mentioned in the article. In fact, the newest version is superior in several ways…room for eyeglass frames, better visor movement (chin bar can move independant of the placement of the visor), smoother operations and lock-in for the chinbar. The vents are too good (I almost froze my bald head this morning at -1C). I use earplugs all the time, so I don’t know if it’s noisy or not. It’s the best helmet I’ve every worn and that includes one Arai and one Shoei.

Mines 3 years old now. When it’s time to replace, I’ll be getting another one. The only problem I’ve had is the little plastic trim pieces on the jaw piece that cover the screws, I’ve broken 2 of them. Doesn’t effect the helmet, and I think it comes from opening or closing the helmet wearing my gloves .

Fortunately, I was spared the quality control issues you had with yours as none of the trim has never tried to cast out to live its own life away from home. My bike has a fairly large fairing which enables me to wear this helmet as a three-quarter, but on colder days I prefer the full-face configuration. Either way, I find it very comfortable and not too noisy, maybe because of the fairing. It may have been designed to integrate a Sharktooth communicator, but I had no trouble fitting my Sena 20S, sound and conversations remain clear whether the chin bar is open or closed. In my experience the Shark Evo 3 has proven a quality lid and an excellent purchase.

Vent plastic broke off, but the chin bar stayed in place and did its job. Could still rotate perfectly afterwards. It’s not only a smart design, from personal experience, I think the chin bar locking mechanism holds in an impact. Also, the main visor broke away in that accident and I couldn’t find it. I was thankful for the sun shield as it gave me enough eye protection to ride home.

I replaced it with a 3. Neither had that problem with the trim on the front.
