Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
great value, good ratings with the crash testers, lots of colors to chose from, fits rounder larger heads well. My head fits well into medium sized helmets open up all the way, and large on the lowest setting is usually a bit loose, this helmet when snug still has room for a larger head. Buy it if you want a good value, have a large head, and only use your bike once in a while, if you ride every day get a size specific helmet that fits just right, test try, not just over the internet

Bottom Line:
Great light helmet with good ventilation. It runs with only one size so NOT for smaller heads. I use a Halo headband underneath to help with the sweat but fits snuggly with it. With the Halo, not as great. I got it for the nice look and the price.
