Even on the small/medium size the helmet looks huge. The moulding on the back of the helmet is not very nice - it sticks out real bad.

from Uk Date Reviewed: February 20, 2006 Strengths: For the money, this helmet looks tops. And the fit is as snug as you like. Tried a few other and couldn't quite find one that sat comfortably on the back of my head, where my skull slopes down to meet my neck. Fits Oakley goggles nicely, nice a ventilated when cruising downhill. Weaknesses: D rings are a pain in the arse. When pushing back uphill in the winter I'm likely to take my helemt off, but to put it back on I've got to take the gloves of. Not good during a Uk winter! A little hot during summer, so wouldn't recommend for anything but downhill or freeride. Paint comes off pretty easily - but these are just minor gripes. It's otherwise great.

from Leadville CO USA Date Reviewed: January 28, 2006 Strengths: like some others have said, any great helmet that doesn't fit is not that great. A hazard too. My noggin fit inside its interior quite well. It's taken hits and comes back, even after several dismounts and tosses No damage except for scratches. i haven't had problems with the double d rings with full finger gloves. straps stay snug when cinched. mine has a good color scheme too. Weaknesses: being my 1st full face, I can't say there is anything that annoys me. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: they's all good Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $99.00 Purchased At: mail order Similar Products Used: none- first full face owned Bike Setup: Kona Stab Supreme Marzocchi 888rc Ringle' Sun mxt wheels
