Date Reviewed: November 30, 2002
Favorite Trail:jim brown trail
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $130.00
Purchased At:Go-Ride
Strengths:Comfortable, good looks, breathes well for a dh helmet. I have the carbon one and it is very light. I like the 'seatbelt' chin strap buckle, it's easy to use with gloves on. This helmet fits very well, no movment, but it doesn't squash your head either.
Weaknesses:I don't have any complaints
Similar Products Used:Bell Bellistic, Giro Switchblade
Bike Setup:Bighit DH w/ Shiver, etc., Foes Fly w/ super t, etc.
Bottom Line:I think this is the best deal you can find on a quality dh helmet. It is so much nicer than the Bell I used to wear. I was looking at the Troy Lee, but realized I could buy this helmet and a dh jacket for the same price. If price is no consideration, buy the Troy Lee, for the rest of us the Vigor is the best choice.

Bike Setup:Giant DH Comp with a Marzocchi Super T fork and Gary Fisher Supercaliber with Manitu Carbon Fork.

Favorite Trail:Squaw Peak
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $52.00
Purchased At:ProDealed from Vigor
Strengths:The price is right! Fits like a glove, even thought it is a helmet, looks cool w/ the low profile back and bottom, light weight, relatively good visibility.
Weaknesses:People look at it like a Diamondback, no respect. The thing is the product is great.
Similar Products Used:Bellistic, 661, Azonic
Bike Setup:Da Bomb Sputnik dual slalom frame, Race Face Prodigy DH crankset, Bombshell Wicked Wendy fork, Magura Hydro brakes... I love dual slalom/urban bikes
Bottom Line:This helmet rules. The price is awesome and looks good. It fits like a dream. I think it looks pretty rad too. If you are a shop owner or product manager, get in on Vigor helmets since their prices are amazing and their product is unbelievable!

Date Reviewed: January 18, 1999
Bottom Line:
This is a great Downhill helmet. It is NORBA approved. It sells at a good price. It is also a full face helmet. This has a lot of nice features and has a lot of cooling vents. I recommend this helmet for every Dowhill rider or racer.This helmet rules!
