from Southern California Date Reviewed: February 3, 2006
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$15.00
Purchased At:
Ebay - New
Strengths:
My daughter loves the colors (hot pink) and design (which is why we bought it from Ebay, rather than the Specialized web site). Fit is just unbelievable - she can take off the chin strap, and the helmet is stuck to her head (very comfortable).
Weaknesses:
One week of use (light) and the knob which adjusts the fit- system broke off. A few weeks later, the visor disappeared. Since the helmet is only on her head, on the bike handle, or clipped to her school book bag -- we cannot figure out how it disappeared. I expected the helmet to be a bit more rugged for child/youth use.

Bike Setup:
Specialized 20" mountain bike
Bottom Line:
What a great fit -- what a shame the adjustment knob broke so quickly (Specialized does not have replacement parts).
