Strengths:    Snug fit, adjustable/removable visor, excellent protection all-around, great venting.

Weaknesses:    None that I have observed so far.

Bottom Line:   
Purchased this lid to replace the mushroom I had previously. I have been very happy with my purchase. The extra coverage gives me a bit more confidence when attempting the technical stuff. Although it doesn't have as many vents as some $$$ models I have had no problems while riding down here in Texas. The placement of the pads keeps sweat from rolling into the eyes. Just a great lid.

Strengths:    Light, adequate ventilation, fits well, looks good (IMO), no bugs through vents, works well with goggles and sunglasses

Weaknesses:    Minimalist padding lets sweat drip down face

Bottom Line:   
Purchased this helmet to replace a T.H.E. B-1. Also considered an Urge Endur-O-Matic and POC Trabec, but the limited sizing and availability (for me) of the Urge and price of the POC led me to Giro.

I already own a Remedy full-face and the sizing runs true (both size M). In-Form fit system works great, even with beanies and headbands in cooler weather. The Feature is much cooler and lighter than the T.H.E. lid it replaces, though sweat tends to drip down my face and on my sunglasses. Speaking of sunglasses, it works great with my Rockgardn Pangaea without impinging on the earpieces, even with the over-temple coverage.

Would've given a 5/5 review, but my champagne taste on a beer budget ($43 after taxes team points) and minor quibble earns a 4/4. In the end, the helmet disappears when riding, fits great, and looks good to boot. If you need more coverage and can't/don't want to spend over $100 on a new lid, then the Feature is worthy of your hard-earned dough.

Strengths:    Price, weight, coverage, looks.

Weaknesses:    Could use some more vents.

Bottom Line:   
I have been looking for a helmet like this for some time now. I usually ride with a skate style lid but I was looking for something with more vents for the summer. This helmet does not have the venting of the xar or similar lids from other companies, but I feel this helmet looks better and I picked it up on Amazon for $55 shipped. I have read reviews stating the fit system did not work correctly. I found that if you can not twist the knob while it is on your head. I just tightened the knob as much as I could and then took the helmet off an added a few turns.

If you like to ride aggressively and want a light, cheap helmet with good style choose this helmet.

Strengths:    Well built, good coverage.

Weaknesses:    None yet.

Bottom Line:   
I really like this helmet. The back of the helmet has good coverage to the top of the neck and the air flow is good considering it is a skater type helmet. I have hit a few low branches with no cuts or dents like a normal bicycle helmet becuase this has a hard plastic shell. The straps and pads are comforatable and this is a nice alternative to a full face when I just want to go out for a little all mountian riding and need more coverage than a cross country lid. I would still wear a full face for downhill bombing though. The helmet will fit goggles as well so it is a perfect set up for a Super D or Grand Prix race. The visor is longer, similiar to a full face and has metal screws that hold it onto the helmet. Coming from the Fox Flux, I feel this has more protection and is about $30.00 cheaper.
Weight is suprisingly light.
