Peterbaron, to your point about a front-mounted shield lock being difficult to operate with a glove on, last year, I picked up a Scorpion Exo-R420, which also has a front-mounted shield lock. I had never had a front-latching helmet, and it took some getting used to, but I got the hang of it after a while. Basically wedge the thumb under the latch and flick it a little to unlock it, then pull it up as I needed to.
Scorpions tend to have an "intermediate oval" shape that fits me very well. When it was released, they made a big deal about the Exo-420 having more of an "American head style" elongated oval, and I find it to be very comfortable. Some of their more garish graphic designs for this model are being phased out and are on clearance, just waiting for a few more designs that I can live with to pick up one or two more of these.
