for those looking to purchase the GP-Tech Five Continents (Rossi's helmet), just know that the red and orange colors fade!

The color on mine is washing out at the top of the helmet.  My friends looks pretty much all green and blue only.  You'd think for a $700 (what I paid when I bought mine last year) helmet would at least have quality paint.  >:(

I like this S-4 SV:

Yea, i'd say that'd be fitting.   [laugh]

Let me know if you're successful (I wonder if there are legal issues with UK helmets being worn here, I don't see a certification sticker on the back)

For what its worth, bigger pain in the ass is getting replacement shield that fits profile of helmet once you get the damn thing stateside. My Shoei Synchromax II (EU version) has a different profile than the US Synchromax line; so when I bought a replacement shield here in states, fit was all wrong and it gapped at the top and bottom. Not saying to pass up on the helmet, but I would get a couple replacement shields with it if you plan on riding with it for a while. Scratchy vision gets old.

Thats a good point, buying some extra shields would make sense.

If the helmets are under a year old, take them back to the place of purchase for a warranty replacement.  We have sold dozens and dozens of the Five Continents and hundreds of the GP Techs and have never had a single warranty claim made on them.

That's not the case here.  The shells and profiles are identical throughout the globe with AGV.  The only difference between markets are colors and graphics schemes.  Getting shields will not be a problem.

The AGV helmets are great looking.  Not sure if any of them would fit my stupid round head.... *sigh*

DaineseDan let me know that the new Stealth SV helmets are en route. ETA is a bit hazy as they still need to go through customs, and we know how fast they can work. But once they clear - then it's off to the shops with 'em.
