Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$44.00
Purchased At:
Dan's BikeShop
Strengths:
great U-Turn strap adjusters-they really hold and they are user friendly...
helmet weight...simple construction...ventilation may not be that great but it works.
price is good if your looking for a day to day helmet.
Weaknesses:
Visor is too small (side to side)...
rubber ring that holds the excess strap cause me an allergy...

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
over-all, this would be a great helmet for riders that might be starting to have the addiction of riding mountain bikes. the FORM Fit System gives it a very nice and easy way of adjusting and fitting the helmet-very user friendly but you have to stop first if your on the move to do so (compared to other helmet's fitting system which can be adjusted by a single hand by turning).

Duration Product Used:
2 Years
Price Paid:
$25.00
Strengths:
Good price, good protection, adequate front and side ventilation.
Weaknesses:
Rear ventilation on the pre-07 models is trash - two small holes the size of quarters just dont cut it.

Bottom Line:
saved my head after a fall off a ramp onto a concrete block. 8 stitches and a grand scar on my face, but i am still alive and well. the helmet does what its supposed to do - protect your head. at the price, though, dont expect to forget youre wearing it or have the wind flowing through your hair.
good helmet for who just want something functional at a great price and are willing to forgo things like huge vents.
