X-lite in the US - Ducati.ms

I need a new helmet and have been looking for alternatives to the usual (shoei/arai/etc etc).
Has anyone had any experience with X-Lite or Schuberth?

Wanted to buy/try the X-Lite from Cycle Sector, who seems to be the only US source, but didn't due to their lack of return policy. Bought the HJC Spies from Rider's Discount instead.

Thanks for the reply Jerb. I checked out Cycle Sector and it seem the lack of SNELL and DOT approval keeps any US retailer from selling as an approved motorcycle helmet. Interesting. You would think with all the crashing Lorenzo did in 2009 that it wouldn't matter!
