Would not recommend the AGV K3

The weight of the AGV K3 is relatively low compared to other helmets in the price class.

I would not recommend this helmet for the following reasons:

1) the padding around the neck is not wide enough; this leaves a gap particularly on the back for cold air to enter the helmet. It also may contribute to the noise.

2) Most helmets have a cut-out around the ears, this one does not have it or it is much smaller. It is extremely uncomfortable because it bends your ears when putting on the helmet

3) It is a rather loud helmet

4) the built quality on my AGV K3 was not very good and one of the seams of the neck padding was defective

5) The latching mechanism for the visor is not very well designed (too weak); it is not possible to keep the visor partially open at highway speed
