Has any tried the Vemar Jiano?

I am looking for a flip up helmet for all the same reasons everyone else gets a flip up helmet. I realize that wind noise is a big compromise you have t get use to with many flip up's. I've read some positive reviews on Vemars product but was wondering if anyone had practical experience with the helmet. I like the idea of the internal flip up sun screen over what is offered by other helmets. Any thoughts?

Got one from a distributor last year before it came out to the general public and tried it once. Although this helmet is very comfortable and works well.
I guess I am not a flip face helmet guy. I have the Matte Black.
I like the sliding sun visor. Very cool and easy. It flip up and stays locked until you need it.
Vemar makes very good helmets. i have two CF full face and a few VSR's
They will be distributing again to the USA again. Good news!!
Like I said, I'm not a flip helmet kind of person so this may sit around in the box for a while until I put it on ebay or something.
