Good helmet, with a few quirks.
I got this helmet because the fit was perfect and it was light. I commute daily, but also do a few hundred miles every other weekend to go to the mountains and hit the twisties.
The good:
As stated before, this helmet is really light, especially given that it's got an internal sun visor. It's stylish and also has good air flow. The vents are also really easy to operate with a glove on. The visor removal/installation seems really simple too.
The Not-so-good:
This helmet is loud. With a Scorpion and Shoei, I could hold conversations with my Sena 20S at triple digits and the person I was talking to on the phone could not tell I was riding. At 65 with this helmet, people cannot understand me. This also extends to helmet cam microphones. Next on the list is just that. There's a weird and seemingly unnecessary groove on the sides that makes side mounts really tricky. A GoPro mount fits in there but it has to be diagonally, and I doubt any other brands will fit due to how narrow it is. Also, the visor/sun visor fog horribly. It's daylight when I leave to work and I'm riding straight toward the sun. Lately it's been in the mid-60's and unless I'm moving, this thing will instantly fog up.
Overall, it's a good helmet if you're using it just for riding and/or the track. If you use a helmet with a Bluetooth system and/or camera (or just really hate noise), or if you live in a place with cold weather, you should probably consider other options.
PROS: stylish, Light, Great airflow
CONS: Fogs up easily, Limited mounting options, Loud
BEST USES: Commuting, Track riding

Feels very light
The helmet feels light weight. The visor is very hard to open. Around 40mph you can hear a high pitch whistle noise. At freeway speed with visor and vents closed there is still a strong draft coming inside the helmet and hit the face blow the eye's this is very annoying
PROS: Very Light, Good Fit, Flip Down Sun Shade
CONS: High Pitch Whistle Noise, Strong Draft Inside, Hard To Open Visor

Well Worth the Money
I use it in the city riding my new cruiser. Was T-Boned recently while wearing a 3/4 helmet. Among other medical bills and suffering, the serious dental and face reconstruction are things I would try to avoid! Loss of a Harley Blackline was monor in comparison.
Pros:
It's very light - a MAJOR plus
Has a flip down sun shade
Quiet enough to hear helmet speakers well
Cons:
Not really enough ear space for big ears and helmet speakers. They need to hollow out a bit more space at the ears.
Need to keep the soft rubber nose piece in place to keep air flow to a minimum in cold weather.

Pretty Decent Helmet
Just picked this helmet up the other day. Wanted a helmet that had less wind noise and was lighter than my old one.
With the chin wind blocker in place the quietness of the helmet is decent. Without it, there is quite a bit.
The numerous vents keep this helmet cool though which is a huge plus as I sweat terribly.
Overall it's pretty good, not a SHOEI, but you get what you pay for.
PROS: Looks, Lightweight, Breathability
CONS: Could Be More Quiet
BEST USES: Saving Your Head, Road riding

Good helmet
I've been using a full face Seven Zero Seven for the past 7 years. It was time to upgrade so I checked out the Sedici Strada Carbon Fiber helmet. The helmet is light which really helps on long rides. I ride a Harley Road King and an Electraglyde Ultra Limited. It has good airflow and is cooler inside than my previous helmet. I riden on cool mornings and it didn't fog but have not experienced the cold yet. It is very comfortable. The drop down internal tinted visor is nice. I removed the clear outside visor and replaced it with a "smoke" visor. It works really great in direct sunlight. I removed the Sena bluetooth intercom system from my old helmet and placed it into the Sedici. It works well and does not create pressure points on my ears like my old helmet did because Sedici cut out little indentions for the earphones. Great technology. Some people were talking about windnoise and if you are using a bike WITHOUT a windshield you will most likely find the helmet noisy (I think its because of the vents allowing good airflow). All my riding is behind a windshield and I didn't find it to loud at all. You may notice a little airflow up through your chin area around your face (again, due to increased air flow) but it is not a bother. All in all so far I am impressed with the helmet.

SO LOUD YOU NEED EARPLUGS.
The helmet looks and feels good. It whistles and the air noise above 40 - 45 mph is unbearable.. I wish I had bought a better brand. You get what you pay for. It is terrible....
