Bottom Line:
After having a nasty crash and smashing my Vigor, I decided to go with a much stronger helmet. The O'Neal is AWSOME! I wish it had a few more vents, but I'll trade that for the extra protection. It's a sweet looking lid too.

More protection than a DH-specific lid but a little bit on the overkill side. It's a nice lid though, especially for the price.
