Strengths: Hard Shell gives me a warm and fuzzy going up against big boulders and rocks. Doesn't make me look like an alien.Weaknesses: No visor.Bottom Line: I'm on my 2nd Flak. The first one was retired after a nasty crash into soft dirt and plants, which compressed the foam. I can almost pull the foam right out of the shell. I think I'll wear a bandana under the new one to soak up the sweat. Still needs some kind of visor.

Strengths: Price, StyleWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: After two years it's time for me to finally buy a new helmet. Two things are putting this Flak in its grave - my lack of foresight in saving the spare set of interior foam pads, and the shell is coming loose from the Styrofoam body. I am tempted to get another Flak because they have served me well, but I'm not fond of the stupid designs present on the current models. I've luckily never had to really test this helmet in a crash so I can't say if it's a life saver but it's been comfortable and hasn't made me look like a total tool so I guess that's worth $30.00 or so.

Strengths: Cool design(camo), comfortable.Weaknesses: I had a few stickers on it, but when I tried to remove one of the sticker, the matte lacquer layer on the helmet came off with it! Leaving a patch of scar and it's disturbing because they continue to peel off...Bottom Line: Good helmet, but don't mess up with the matte lacquer layer on it. I tried peeling off the other stickers, and I got the same result. The matte layer peels off as well. Now I got a very ugly and terrible looking brand new Giro Flak...

Strengths: Looks great.Weaknesses: Could use a thicker pad on top.Bottom Line: Looks like a BMX helmet, but designed for Mountain Bikers. I've got the Flat Black Camo version in size large, could have maybe gone with a medium but with the extra thick pad in back and medium pad in front, it fits just fine.

Strengths: This helmet fits perfectly, looks great and protects yer noggin. What more could you ask for?Weaknesses: there could be another pad on the inside top of the helmet.Bottom Line: This is an awesome skate style helmet. it doesn't look ugly like the mace trigger, and it is extremely comfortable to wear. the only better helmet that i've ever worn was the TSG Evolution, and was more expensive.
