How is fogging? I wonder how rain sealing is? I saw Martin having to tape his shield in the rain session at Qatar

No idea about rain sealing and not something that’s of any concern for my use. I would be surprised if fogging is an issue in normal use as the ventilation through it is significant and very noticeable, but I’ll know for sure after I have used it more.

It’s my favourite helmet so far, having tried Arai (RX7 or something like that), Shoei X-Spirit (one before the new one) and AGV Pista GP RR.

No personal complaints other than I get a lot of face shield bleed even with all the vents closed. In dry desert air my eyeballs dehydrate so quick it’s hard to keep them lubricated with 3-4 different products I bring to the track.

Never been down in it, never bonked the noggin’, just intersting to hear some pro’s that wore them in the past bash the .... out of them.

Have been running the Shark helmet at track for a bit the red one, love it, decided to try the Shark Aeron GP (white one)…the Aeron has those flappy bits in the spoiler that supposedly making it more stable around corners. Honestly I don’t feel much difference accept that the flappy bits make a slightly annoying and distracting noise when they click open and closed in the corners lol

The regular Shark helmet if anything feels more stable, BUT it has a much more robust under chin and around the neck collar so I think less wind is getting under the helmet. Conversely the Aeron GP is more open on the under side but you can also breath better in it.
