SURPRISE!!! I considered WiKi last year for the photochromatic lens but went with the Akuma instead. Besides,the helmets are basically KBC helmets and I don't like KBC's fit. Also,WiKi doesn't even pretend to manufacture lids,they are using the sale of the helmets to promote their shield. In fact,as I understand it,the SHIELD costs well over $100 leaving the helmet in the under $100 range.....

I definitely want a color change shield but the problem has always been longevity. They just don't last! No one can seem to manufacture one that'll last more than a year or so.
