Date Reviewed: August 9, 2002
Favorite Trail:vail pass, colorado
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $40.00
Purchased At:ChainReaction
Strengths:An excellent, comfortable fit. Good looking lines. Adequate ventilation for warm weather, but perfect for cool weather biking I do in Colorado mountains. The stapping system with the various locking mechanisms work well and are easy to use. The visor keeps the sun out of my eyes. When I did my own version of impact resistance testing at home the Pro-Am V performed much better than my old helmet. I definitely feel safer with the Pro-Am.
Weaknesses:Considering the price I don't find any. I tried on some of the more expensive models at the bike shop but the Pro-Am V was the best fit, and I did not need the extra bells and whistles.
Similar Products Used:Several other helmets, mainly from Bell.
Bike Setup:Obvious
Bottom Line:Great comfort and quality for a reasonable price. I am very pleased.
Value Rating:5Overall Rating:5
