Review after 2 days, 100km.
Fit: Excellent at head, snug around cheeks too. Broad at forehead&pretty good room near chin. Very huge on the inside compared to the Boolean. Strap area also well padded.
Padding: Excellent, good noise reduction too. In a different league altogether, Boolean comes nowhere near!
Vents: Rear vents work very well, front could have done with 2 more vents like the 3G, or head vents like the Boolean. Forehead tends to get a bit sweaty, but I'll start wearing my helmet cap once it beds in, so no issues.
Performance at high speeds: No buzzing/whistling, but yes, some breeze does creep in since there is a bit of gap near the chin area. If you turn your head to the side, you can feel the rear vents working!
Visor: Scratch Resistant, too new to comment on whether it really stays that way!
Build&Finish: Opening mechanism similar to Boolean, way better than Ninja Gen 1 which I used for 3 years.
Mine is the glossy one, stickers are embossed. Initially found the stickers were not stuck completely, but hope they will hold on in time! That is the only con that I can think of the helmet.
Pros: Excellent padding, good jaw protection in full face mode.
Cons: Non removable padding, absence of head vents.
Embossed stickers look good, but don't look as though they'll stick on long!
Overall, I find it VFM at Rs.1300 (my friend also bought one so we got a discount), for those with broader foreheads&who need thicker padding, this/3G is a better deal compared to the Boolean, at a price less Rs.500. All you miss out probably on would be the 'internal' visor or sunglass system that Boolean has to offer.

ninja was always a fav but never got 2G or 3G in Bangalore, only 1G was available so skipped it. Wise choice a real value for Money helmet.
