from Mill Valley, CA, USA Date Reviewed: August 22, 2009 Strengths: It's pretty comfortable and not difficult to adjust and offers decent ventilation. Weaknesses: The back cracked when I dropped it when it was almost brand new. The back of the helmet doesn't have the thin layer of plastic covering it, so it will crack with minimal impact. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Downieville downhill Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $40.00 Similar Products Used: Other Giro and Specialized cross country helmets. Bike Setup: Niner Rip
