I owned one briefly and found it a bit hot for me, but i'm an enduro and live in Africa.
I was underwhelmed using the Air Attack compared to a SpeedAiro. The Speedairo has a viso with better coverage, the visor won't rattle off on rough roads, it is better ventilated, and feels better suspended on your head. Sure the Speedairo costs a chunk more, but it is a much better designed lid that is better implemented.

Catch being, you need to be cognizant of racing regs if racing. Casco lids often are not CPSC certified, but EU certified (lower bar of safety)
