Submitted by roadracerX a Weekend Warrior from Clemson, SC

Date Reviewed: June 10, 2011

Strengths:    Good coverage and ventilation.

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
For the price I am happy with it. Slightly less comfortable than my old Align but the added protection is worth the trade off. I can still wear this thing all day with no problems. I don't sweat a great deal but so far the forehead padding is stopping everything that I can feel running down towards my eyes.

Date Reviewed: April 17, 2011

Strengths:    Fits great, good ventilation, never loosens up no matter how long the ride, easy to adjust, and fairly light.

Weaknesses:    Soft felt lining seems to be coming off a little, but nothing superglue won't fix.

Bottom Line:   
Good looking helmet that works and won't break the bank.

Submitted by XLNC a Weekend Warrior from Ontario, Canada

Date Reviewed: March 26, 2010

Strengths:    Lots of Ventilation. Lots of fitting adjustments/Good snug fit. Lightweight.

Weaknesses:    Strange yet limited colour combos (I got the "matte silver" colour), Sorta pricey - but I'm cheap.

Bottom Line:   
I shivered when I read the price but read above in the "weaknesses". Forgot all about the price when the salesman adjusted the helmet for me and it so gently caressed my gourd. O.K. layman's terms - It's grips your head quite snug, but you hardly even know it's on your head (I'll be honest, after I had it for a day I spazzed around like I had a seizure and the helmet barely moved a millimeter!). And when I finally got around to putting my bike in the wind, the many vents provided A TON of air flow. Very happy with it so far, but then again it's not humid hot summer yet either.
