The anniversary edition and the b&w edition (which I think looks great) are both available in the "discontinued" section of the Klim USA website.
They're bizarre, not least coz the front looks brilliant and the back looks like a hill fort...

Rain?
I would guess that the 'dig in' effect of those edges could aggravate a tumble in a quite nasty way. 
Mav, grab one, they are the best lid I've had and I've had a few now.
Even hold up OK in torrential rain, theres an inner liner you can fit. I commute in mine, and did so right through last Winter.
As for the noise, not as quiet as my Arai obviously, but I guess I just got used to it and tend to be listening to my iPod anyways
They supply a spare peak with them.
Jonah Street uses them on Dakar IIRC.
+1, great lids.

Thanks for all the feedback chaps
OK - am going to order one... now to work out which size. I did try one on a while ago, but I can't for the life of me remember what size it was
I'm a 57/58 in BMW Enduro... I'm assuming that I can always send it back to get a different size...Good man! Think you're gonna love it mate.
One thing I forgot to mention, the US versions and UK versions differ a fair bit in weight, the UK version is actually lighter IIRC.
TBM also did a weight comparison.
Scott 89XI's go well with 'em

It arrives tomorrow 
Adventure Spec were super helpful, throwing in an extra set of cheek pads as I am in between sizes.
I also got a pair of oakley goggles to with them for 40 pounds.
Should be just the ticket for the Level 3 course I'm booked on
Will post an update tomorrow when I get it!!

I bet you wear it tmrw night and knock one out in the mirror

That's why the ventilation is so important
On a slightly more serious note - the lid is great. Didn't get at all warm for the duration of the Level 3 course despite it being hot enough to riding in just a jersey. However, when you get to 60+mph it is very noisy. I don't normally wear ear plugs... I think if I was going to do a long distance I would need them with this lid.
Top marks to Adventure Spec - great service
