Duration Product Used:

Local chain sports s
Strengths:
Saved my life. Fairly light - fits VERY well. Saved my life a second time.
Weaknesses:
Not as light as it could be - bit tricky to fit night lights to.
Similar Products Used:
Many Bell, Specialized, Giro helmets over 25 years of racing XC and now road.
Bike Setup:
Trek Elite 9.5, Trek Madone 5.0
Bottom Line:
I crashed on my road bike last Sunday. Hit my head hard enought to crack the helmet in two places and give myself a grade II concussion. I'm quite sure that without this (perhaps any approved) helmet - I'd be dead.
While I've moved to a Giro Indicator, this was a great helmet and also saved me injury once before in an MTB crash.
Can't say enough about Bell/Giro helmets and the value of wearing them EVERY ride.
