The only thing I have noticed is that the chin strap seems a little less comfortable than other helmets for some reason. It has a little bit of give, so to keep it snug I feel like I have to tighten it more, resulting in a little less comfort than other ones. Have not toured or done more than a day ride with it yet, so need to do that to see if it is a longer ride concern. I haven’t worn it too much to have noticed issues there.

Lugnuts said it is a quiet and snug lid but the thread frayed early on and then the leather-look stuff started to peel and crack. Had any problems with the lower inner padding?

I've been able to ride it harder than I have before. Not saying too much, but really it feels much better and just easier to ride around the track. Well, I think it has worked out well!
