I'm in the market for a new lid and am probably leaning towards a Uvex SLT, but the problem seems to be not the choice of DS lids, but finding somewhere close enough that has them in stock to try on (to of course buy later on the web!). Its easy to find an Arai, Shoei or X-Lite dealer, but less so the more obscure/cheaper brands (the ones mentioned in this thread), they seem to be mostly/only be available online.

Aaaaah but that is the fx-37 which is the first model. It would seem whoever AFX are, they are listening to the users criticisms and adapting their product accordingly. Check out this review of the new fx-39 and see what they have done

I think that personally I am going to go with the Acerbis even though I initially bigged up the Duchinni. Someone pointed out that they are the same helmet, I definitely prefer the styling on the Acerbis though and everyone I know who has a sunvisor in their AGV etc etc swears by them.
Although having said that, my mind changes daily
