from Vermont Date Reviewed: June 5, 2008 Strengths: Price, design, comfort, and style. Weaknesses: None noted. Maybe because it was so inexpensive, people might turn up their noses. Silly people! LOL. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Burlington Bike Trails Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $45.00 Purchased At: North Star Cyclery Similar Products Used: I had an old Bailen helmet. Cracked in half after a bad fall. It was an excellent helmet, but it was far from comfortable. It was hot, wouldn't stay put. But is saved my head! Bike Setup: Currently I'm riding a Trek 7.5 FX. Road and not-to-wild off-road.

from Crownsville Date Reviewed: June 30, 2002 Strengths: Good ventilation for the price, looks better than most other bike helmets, lightweight, best fit (for me) of any helmet I've tried. Although, I haven't seriously tried anything more than $60. Suspension is almost like a sweatband, so you don't have to worry about getting sweat in your eyes on long hard rides when it's hot. Weaknesses: The visor is rather small, but do you need it? Most helmets don't have visors, and who doesn't wear some kind of eyeglass when riding? Not a moulded shell, so it doesn't have as much ventilation as helmets that cost 2 - 3 times as much as it. Okay, so visors probably aren't the most aerodynamic shape for bike helmets which would probably explain road racers not using them. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything traverible Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $40.00 Purchased At: Bike Doctor (LBS) Similar Products Used: Bell Sonar that was given to me the day I got my bike. Bike Setup: 2001 Trek 4300.
