6 months
Strengths:

-Minimul vents
Similar Products Used:
-Vigor Zero-G

Bike Setup:
Santa Cruz Super 8
Bottom Line:After having a nasty crash and smashing my Vigor, I decided to go with a much stronger helmet. The O'Neal is AWSOME! I wish it had a few more vents, but I'll trade that for the extra protection. It's a sweet looking lid too.

Submitted by James a Downhiller from SLC UT
Date Reviewed: June 13, 1999
Favorite Trail:
Wasatch Crest
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Strengths:
Strong; kinda makes you look like Jeremy McGrath
Weaknesses:
HEAVY; kinda bulky
Similar Products Used:
Qranc Qamaqaze, Vigor Vamoose, Bell Bellistic
Bike Setup:
Uh...I've tried some friends Karpiels and I'm waiting for my 8 titus
Bottom Line:More protection than a DH-specific lid but a little bit on the overkill side. It's a nice lid though, especially for the price.
