anyone got this AGV read a review and it says the visor is quite lose and can drop down on its own sometimes?

Go somewhere that sells them and try them on for fit ,think bikegear in Bridgend sells AGV

personal taste, but try them on in a shop first to make sure the size is correct as manufacturers differ slightly
imho shark is good, even better get shark evoline 2 flip

Get yourself down George Whites, stall a massive sale on down there with Arai's Nolan X-Lite's etc cheap.

I have a Shark S800, nice lid.
Also Got a Nolan X-Lite, Very nice lid
Arai feels nice along with Shoie.

Tried an AVG and it was like having 400 grit wet & dry on my cheeks, hated the lid.

This is my view and others will tell you there AVG is amassing.

You need to decide by trying on a few, for me I chose the Nolan X-Lite over the Arai because when I pull up any where there is probably one other X-Lite around, how many Arai's etc do you see. be an individual or follow the crowd.

My AGV is amazing! 

Bit noisy though, quite a loud whistle at hi speed.

Not had any experience with those particular models but I have had a couple of AGV's and I have a Shark RSX at the moment.

Based on my experience Shark lids are alot better than AGV :-

I had the AGV TiTech. A lovely helmet to start with but a bit dissapointed with the build quality after a while. For a lid that cost nearly £400 I think I was expecting something a bit more robust. After a couple of years use it started to detriate, IMHO more than normal wear-and-tear. Bits of the lining came away, the strap frayed, the built-in wind deflector snapped off, the visor mechanism broke (after 6 months) . And over time the visor got so drafty at speed it became unbearable (I guess becasue the seal around the visor got worse). Also the vents didn't seem to do much. I wouldn't say I was the most careful owner in the world but I didn't abuse it that much and kept it clean all the time.

Compare that with the Shark RSK. It was very well fitting and comfortable straight off the shelf, no drafts or whistles ( I think Shark use thicker visors than other manufacturers). And build quality is superb - not sure over time how that lasts , I've only been using the lid a couple of months. And also it was less than half the price of the AGV and has 5 star Sharp rating - I think Shark lids in general all have a high rating.

This has been posted before , but its always good to check it out.

From some of the tests expensive sometimes does not come out tops.
I would always try on in a dealer 1st. in order to check out fit and suitability.
And then check out the best deals on offer

[snoopy]

Try them on and others ...some are better fit than others ... not always the expensive are the best
Some fit one person better than another
