Strengths:    Lightweight. Performed well in a crash resulting in a ruptured spleen and compound fracture of the arm. Helmet broke, head did not.

Weaknesses:    The retention system is lightweight, but highly vulnerable to damage when not being worn.

Bottom Line:   
It's an effective helmet, but the retention system is comparatively low quality for a rather high priced helmet.

Five for saving my noggin and three for not giving the retention system more attention.
