Our design department developed a fantastically shaped structure to keep it strong enough for tough MTB riding, but yet very compact to look stylish on the head. With a panache that could only come from Italy, our designers have integrated the front peak within the overall design. The close fit and the super system make sure it sits firmly and lots of vents from different angles keep your head cool.

Strengths:
Comfortable, breathable, tough, nice look
Weaknesses:
Forehead pad acts like a sponge to soak up sweat but unleashes all over your face when compressed
Similar Products Used:
None
Bike Setup:
08 Fisher Wahoo Disc - stock
Bottom Line:
This is the first real helmet I've had and it works well. I always stay cool when riding because of all the vents. I've bashed my head on plenty of branches and only a few scratches are visible. The matte black color looks cool. The one con is that the front pad soaks up sweat, but it only discharges the sweat when I press the helmet against my forehead; that doesn't normally happen when riding though.
