The complaints were mainly about the visor being poor quality and breaking easily. For the money, I'm interested in having one shipped over.
Not to derail the thread about Nexx helmets, but could you do a review of the Marushin? I decided I kinda liked the RS2 Sekando, graphics look similar to the Nexx helmet as well. I have a hard time with a lot of the current graphics from manufacturers like Shoei. They are either a solid color or just way over the top graphics. Nothing just old school cool. I really don't need mating dragons on my helmet or skulls all around. Gimme just some nice block graphics and a racing stripe please, and Marushin has a quite a few along those lines. That was why I liked the Nexx helmet, for it's simplicity.

here is what I will say about the helmets I own.
Marushin RS1 is by far the best fitting helmet I have used with the exception of my Nexx which i have never used. The visor i use is the dark smoke one and not the clear. i replaced the visor the day i got it and so i cannot comment on the fit of the clear one. My visor is very strong and well finished and fitted. Also snaps in place properly and does not give to wind resistance when riding open. I have 2 monsters and a super duke ktm which means you get bashed by wind when riding fast and have no where to tuck. the Marushin feel's solid and not as noisy as my roof V8 boxer although the roof is also awesome. My cousin rode with me last week and said the marushin was the best and lightest helmet he had ever used. only thing i will say is that the bottom fabric above the straps are pealing due to frequent removal. All said, money well spent. If its something classy and different you are looking for check these guys:

as for the bell revolver : its the worst piece of junk and i will not bother saying anything else.
