I have the AGV – great helmet, really light and comfortable. Only problem I found was the visor has only 2 mount points and at a certain speed (about 60k’s) the visor would vibrate and send a hum thru the helmet.
I took the touratech screen extender off the 800gs and that fixed it – seems that turbulence behind the screen extender was effecting it.
See the link from Revzilla on youtube – there is also a good adventure helmet comparison on the same channel

Thanks Linz I guess the only thing left to do is go try them all on

No wuckers – The AGV is a good helmet, really happy with it, got a Scala headset fitted to it, had to glue the mounting bracket on, the clamp doesn’t fit. :whistle:

It is fairly quite with bugger all wind noise (compared to RJays DS Dakar helmet). Don’t notice the visor vibrating (if it still does) anymore. I was a bit pissed off at first after handing over $400 and the “humming at local road speeds. But now not a problem

Know anyone that wants to buy a Touratech Clip on Screen Extender to suit a 800gs??
