Thumbs up

Quick review--- I've worn it for about 200 miles so far. The built in sun visor is the greatest thing since sliced bread No more sun over my glasses or in from the side. I wear glasses and it's much easier to get them on than my HJC 12. There is a lever on the left side at your ear which flips the sunshield up and down. It works very easily. There is also a lever to lock the face shield in the down position too ( track day? )

Fit is good and the cheek pad pump works great and deflates easily for removal.

Ventilation is good even on hot days. I won't comment on wind noise since I wear earplugs when I ride ( as a machinist, I'm deaf enough as it is and wear ear plugs every time I ride to try to reduce further damage )

The helmet seems "stable". I never realized the movement of my HJC until I starting using this EXO 500. I guess those aerodynamic ridges actually work

If somebody were to steal this helmet, I would replace it with the exact same model in a heartbeat.
