Got a few things this season...
1. Alpinestar SMX Vest
-CE Level 2
-Good comfort level
-Doesn't move around like the non-vest back protector style
-Blocks airflow, could be a plus or minus
-Looks good
2. Sena SMH10
- VERY convenient
- Less hassle of putting your headphones on n off
- Hard to hear with my exhaust, but people can still hear me, even though its hard for me to hear them at times
- The battery life is AMAZZING
- Only owned it for a couple months and Sena released 2 firmware updates. To me, that shows that the company has support and is not going in for a quick buck
- A bit on the expensive side...but totally worth it, it's one of those things you invest in once and your good for quite a while. For ex. I went through 20-40$ bluetooth headsets and they've all been crap...I bought Jawbone headset for 120$ 3 years ago and its still goin really well
3. Shoei X-12
- Very good ventilation. My head gets cold when going fast
- Noisy...at least compared to my Suomy Spec1R
- A bit on the heavier side in comparison to AGV helmet and Suomy
- Fogs up easily when putting around town...helmets meant for faster speeds definitely
- VERY comfortable
- color scheme selection was kind of lame...so i got matte black
