Submitted by Jason a Weekend Warrior from Austin, TX

Date Reviewed: February 7, 2002

Strengths:    I've never fallen with my helmet on so I don't know how well it works. So to test this, I tried it on and banged my head against the wall in my room....not too hard...but enough to test the helmets strength....well I checked it out afterwards and IT BROKE. The damn helmet broke after just trying it on in my room!

Weaknesses:    Customer support was horrible, they said they'd give me 20% discount on another helmet....like I'd buy another one of their crappy helmets...yeah right.

Bottom Line:   
Don't buy this helmet, it sucks.

Date Reviewed: December 22, 2000

Strengths:    Decent price and style at the time. Removable visor. Head retention system.

Weaknesses:    Sits too high. Not too light. Not enough air flow on those hot days.

Bottom Line:   
Sucks for $40 considering whats out there now. Pacific Bicycles is a lousy shop to buy it from in my opinion. Great deals, lousy workers. Went to the one on 6th and Geary Blvd. Hit the good old Start To Finish or other and you will get a much friendleir bunch. Not too sure where Specialized is headed with helmets.

Submitted by Isaac a Cross Country Rider from Fargo

Date Reviewed: April 5, 2000

Strengths:    The price is the best part of this helmet.

Weaknesses:    The pads don't give you much padding because of their thickness.

Bottom Line:   
This is a good helmet for someone getting into the sport or needs a bucket to race. It's nothing fancy and doesn't look biker-cool but it saved my life from a "Isaac vs. truck" accident and I've held on to it to remeber that.

Strengths:    
looks, fit, price


Weaknesses:    
none so far


Bottom Line:   
I like this helmet; It's a big improvement over the Bell dinosaur I had before this. This one looks nice; the Bell I had made my head look kind of like a...well...to be honest, a p3nis. When you're a girl, that's not too cool.I've worn it for 6 months in unpredictable Texas weather and I like it just fine.

Strengths:    
Light; warm in cool weather


Weaknesses:    
Fit; not enough air flow


Bottom Line:   
Paid only $20 for it. Can't go wrong for the price. It looks OK but if you have more money definitely get something better.
