I bought this Helmet at Cycle Gear for $99, where BILT helmets are regularly on special. I would recommend checking it out at a CG brick and mortar or possibly through their website (not sure if the sale price is applied online). I do not think that for $200 you are almost in the Snell-approved range and might want to spend the extra money for a nicer helmet. For this particular helmet, $99 is a great price in my opinion.The ventilation is good, although I think more air is probably entering the helmet along the seam and hinges. I noticed more hi-pitched wind noise in this helmet than my previous BILT full-face solar helmet. I think this helmet will be good for warm weather riding, and because I live in Arizona that is most of the year for me.I like the solar shades, although they are not the darkest tint. More of a light smokey grey color. They do help, though. I think the action is more positive with this helmet than on my previous BILT helmet; the shades *snap* down into place rather "slide", and when you push the release button they *snap* back up into the helmet. The controls take some getting used to for me because they are in a totally different location than my previous helmet and it is harder to manipulate the individual buttons with my gloves on. I also worry about the parts used to make the helmet snap back and forth, if there is a spring in there that can fail that might make it impossible to retract the shades.The chin bar has a removable padded chin guard that snaps in and out to keep your chin from rubbing against the chin bar latch mechanism. I was annoyed by this at first but ended up putting it back in because it is better than your chin rubbing on plastic.My main gripe is I wear glasses and the padding around the ears is in a position that it interferes with putting glasses on or off easily. I do like the modular design, because I don't feel like I need to take my helmet off just to walk into a store and buy something, or talk to other people, or take a drink, or just to get more air in slow traffic (would not recommend lifting the face plate at speed due to drag). My face does not feel as secure because I think the hinged modular design is also a big potential point of failure in a wreck, but I have accepted this trade-off because of the added convenience.

Spent much time re-searching all the bike helmets out there. I decided that a Modular motorcycle helmet was what I wanted. I chose the BILT Solar , I liked the features and the look of the helmet. The fact that it was on sale made the choice much easier. It's nice to have the option of opening up the front for many reasons and it is easy to put on and take off. Having the clear eye cover is great for night riding and the drop down sun screen works great. So far I am 100% satisfied with this helmet and would recomend it to others.
