I'm sure my comments about 100 degree Farenheit days are funny/lame, but it usually isn't that hot here for that long in Oklahoma/USA. It is very humid too which makes it worse on this whiteboy. I'm sure it is much hotter in Kuwait! We have both extremes of heat/cold. In the winter here it gets below freezing alot (often with a strong wind). I've ridden many times when it was at the freezing point, but my nordic blood can't handle too much heat since I ride with full leathers. Keep the rubber side down! Best Regards.

I read somewhere that this helmet is a "loss leader" for HJC which means they want to up thier brand a notch or two. To do so they build a great helmet and take a loss when they sell it building buzz and boosting rep on every salet. (This usually means they'll be in limited supply also). Based on the webbikeworld review and in-store try on I ordered one size larger than normal. I usually get an XL, but for the Carbon AC-12 I got XXL. Helmet fits perfectly, nuff said! The look of the helmet is exactly as advertised: modern, sleek and tailored. Today was first ride. There seems to be a good flow of air over the inside of the visor, but overall the helmet seemed noisy. Doesn't matter because I wear earplugs or earbuds all of the time. The interior padding seems less plush than my Shoei Z-II. It looks badazz futuristic. I'm assuming that maybe in the future everyone wears earplugs. It is really light though! I definitely felt the difference in my neck after the ride home into 20-25 mile an hour wind. Did I mention it looks good too? It seems sleek enough to cut through the Oklahoma headwind without buffeting too. The venting seemed adequate, but the only true test is 100 degree plus days. Thank god those dog days are over round her (for the time being we had 35 out of 40 over 100 this summer). I'll give it some good break-in and see if performance meets up to the styling and construction. Gotta say I'm impressed overall thusfar. I bought the helmet here (http://www.motoxoutlet.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1071), but you have to call them to get the $279 price. Shipping was $20. They had some website issues and there was no tracking information, but they didn't charge my card. I figured if I got it, I got it. It took about 10 or 11 days, of wondering/worrying but it eventually arrived well-packed.
