Built to the highest quality standards (Dot and Snell approved), every feature of the Flite has been perfected by our design and development teams. The adjustable cooling vents under the visor direct air inside the shell of the helmet to the CoolMax® liner, providing excellent ventilation. Spacious eyeport design for increased visibility.

Strengths: Lovely graphics good choice of colours Strong not too heavy Looks cool Vizor looks cool and works well Padding inside is very comfortable Totally excellent for mountain boarding and mountain biking!!!
Weaknesses: Not many air vents for cooling. But this makes it stronger. Price - a bit much for anyone who only cyles once month.
Bottom Line:
A very good helmet which looks cool when you've got all the same colour gear. Can survive most crashes: I was in a downhill competition going about 30mph on a steep slope and managed to miss the corner at the bottom- flew straight across the berm. My bike landing in a crumpled mess after hitting 2 trees and I hit a small cliff-face and fall on some amazingly big and hard rocks- Ouch! Helmet survived without a dent.I broke an arm and 2 ribs... I think I should get some body armour as well!!
