Weaknesses:Hope I never find out.
Similar Products Used:We both have Bell Helmets
Bike Setup:Me - Nishiki Modulus (road), GT Aggressor 1.0 (ATB)
Wife - Trek 1000 till it got stolen out of our garage, now she has a Lemond Nevada City.
Bottom Line:Lance rules - can't wait to see 4 in a row.

Date Reviewed: June 3, 2001
Favorite Trail:Murphy-Hanrehan
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $40.00
Purchased At:Freewheel bike coop
Strengths:See the bottom line
Weaknesses:None really, doesn't have a visor but only weenies use them anyways.
Similar Products Used:never wore a skid lid B4
Bike Setup:Trek
Bottom Line:I only bought this thing because I need a brain bucket for the Northshore inline. But now that I have it I wear it while Mtn biking. Giro makes the best fitting helmets and this one is a great buy for the money. The outer shell has it's adges taped to the shell, but to get the model that isn't would've cost me twice as much. I decided by the time the tape breaks I'll probably need a new helmet so I went with it, a very good fitting, good looking, comfortable helmet.
