I've had it for quite a while and it's been faithful all this time. I bought it about a year. Very stable at 1.3kg. Removable and washable inner padding. Two air vents: one at the chin and one at the forehead. They do their job only at speeds > 80kmph. Under 80kmph I sweat and get uncomfortable in it. I have to say its a really sturdy helmet of good quality. I will give two different reviews, you'll see why! 
Ride review:
Wear the helmet and its like you put on a very intelligent noise cancellation headphones. The exhaust note of the bike comes in with a deep bassy feel and that's music to my ears.
But it cancels out all other unwanted noise like the very noisy lorry behind you, or the idiot revving away next to you when there's still a 100 seconds for the signal to go green.
Wind noise isn't an issue till triple digit speeds. At about 104-105kmph you start hearing this really weird whistling that messes with the exhaust note. That's my only issue. Visor quality is top notch. Accident review:
Figured I'd write this here as not everyone can write it, but it would help buyers if they knew real life performance of the helmet they're going to buy in the situation it is meant to be used for. Hope it helps.
About a month ago I had a cornering accident, and I had a fall from a height of ~10-12 feet, went sliding for about 10 meters. I managed to break the visor and a couple of ribs. But there's not a single scratch on my head, no bruising, lumps, cuts or concussions. The helmet is also in one piece, albeit with tons of scratches, some missing stretches of paint and a hard to close chin ventilator. I would recommend the brand to anyone, as the fall I had wasn't an ordinary jump and roll. I was thrown off my bike at about 70Kmph and the distance figures are already up there.
It is very VFM priced at 2.7k(I got it at about 1.8k because I haggle very well and the shopkeeper was a greedy pig).
I also own a pair of Pro-Biker riding gloves. A steal at 500 bucks.
Ride review:
They do their job well. Hands are kept well ventilated while riding. Grip on the handlebar is very nice. They dont hamper my finger movement. They look good!

Accident review:
I was wearing these too during the accident. Have to say I had hoped for better cloth fabric quality. My hands are perfectly safe and not one scratch on them save for one place. The one place i got a cut wound was the place the fabric ripped open. It wasnt even the stitches of the fabric that came off. It was ripped open by the fall. But the rest of the gloves are intact and the hard knuckles did their job spot on. The gloves also have taken quite a beating. So I have to say, I'm happy with it for the price I got it at.
VFM pair. But would suggest going for a better pair if you can afford it.

Hope this was helpful.
