[QUOTE="flars, post: 1405287, member: 28873"] Yes, you can use the 20S while it is plugged in for recharging. My wife has to attach an external battery to hers since she listens to music all the time, and her 20S runs out of power before mine does. With the SRL the unit shuts off when recharging/attached to an external battery. My problem with the Neotech II is the heat. If the temperature is above 80 degrees here in the South, you MUST open the chin bar to let air in when you stop for longer than a few seconds. It heats up real fast. When moving with the chin vent open and the forehead vent open, it is okay. That chin curtain really blocks air intrusion that usually provides extra cooling. Also, without the pinlock it fogs up quickly in high humidity or rain/fog. As far as fit goes, the helmet sits too low on my forehead, so I had to put some neoprene strips above the center padding to raise the helmet on my head. Otherwise, my forehead really complains. And, yes, I bought the thicker center piece for $50 to see if that would help, and it got unbareably uncomfortable across my forehead within minutes - went back to the regular thickness center piece with neoprene above the padding. The helmet is all day comfortable otherwise...but it really gives me a very bad case of helmet hair. Never really suffered from that before. Of course, I ride long hours in high heat (think 8 hours in 96 degree Iowa heat plus 5 hours in Indiana and Illinois, or 6 hours in 90 degree Florida), so ventilation, or lack thereof, is very noticeable for me. The odd thing is, my eyes really dry out in this helmet, to the point I have to use eyedrops when I stop...never had to do that before. I think there is a draft that flows across my eyes from the chin vent, maybe. Overall, I like the helmet now that I have it sitting higher on my head. And I use a Sena 20S velcroed to the side.
