Great helmet. I got it at a sale, so I got lucky. If you can afford, buy the Giro Switchblade, otherwise, this is a great helmet.

Strengths:
Its kinda light, nice fitting and cool colors. the brain trust system is a pretty cool idea too.
Weaknesses:
the bucket shape was a little odd for me, so it felt kinda strange on my head. the visor connects to too much of the helmet.
Similar Products Used:
my trusty ol' giro e2
Bike Setup:
yep its setup alright
Bottom Line:
i was out with some buddies at a trial and i had left my giro E2 at home, so we swung by the bike shop and found this for a good price. Got it, used it, saved my life. i was heading over the crest of a short little hill so i bunny hopped at the top, landed right into a tire trap. endo city... landed on my head, slid down the rest of the hill on the side of my face, few outta the way and my bike flew over my head. when i got up, i noticed some black chunks in the dirt, the visor had broken off and taken a lot of the front portion of the helmet with it. that and most of the outter covering was gone too. but in the end i'm alive because of it. e-mail me and i can send you the pics of myself and the helmet after the ride.
