from Arcata, CA Date Reviewed: September 6, 2009 Strengths: good ventilation, light weight Weaknesses: RETENTION SYSTEM FAILED. I crashed in a rock garden this weekend, and the retention system blew out, leaving the helmet flopping on the back of my head. What good is a helmet that moves out of the way during impact? See similar "Roc-Loc" complaints at bottom of page. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Price Point Similar Products Used: Trek, Fox helmets.

from Memphis, TN, USA Date Reviewed: November 2, 2007 Strengths: Fit was good - not 'special', but very good. Got a great value on it (no way should you pay even half of the MSRP listed at the top of this review screen - like $200 or something??). It works well for the purpose intended, and I am glad about that! Weaknesses: Pads soak up sweat to the point that they start dripping down the front on most rides. This is a problem I have with every helmet I have had, so I probably would not hold it against the E2.
