    Favoriate Trail:Marshall Canyon
    Duration Product Used:2 Years
    Price Paid: $20.00
    Purchased At:Jenson USA
    Strengths:Fairly light, comfortable, cool in the summer and quite inexpensive. Acu Dial adjustment is very easy to use.
    Weaknesses:It's ugly.
    Similar Products Used:Giro Semi MX(?) - don't even think about wearing this in the summer sun!
    Bike Setup:Specialized FSRxc
    Bottom Line:As long as a helmet is comfortable and meets all the safety standards, it's perfectly usable, which is why I bought the Indicator. The price was so low that I bought two other ones for my sons also! The only real concern is that it's a "universal" fit, so it's big enough to fit large heads. Smaller heads may find it too loose, even with the Acu Dial. I wear a Halo headband underneath, so it's fairly snug. Without it, the helmet would definitely move around a bit.

    I've been fortunate enough to NOT crash and really test the helmet's protection. However, I've knock it several times from the side on low tree branches, side of a hill, etc. It has done its job. After two full years of abuse in the So. Cal. sun and knocks and scrapes, I'm retiring it this month and getting a much better looking, although more expensive helmet.

    Favoriate Trail:DH at Sunrise
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $27.00
    Purchased At:Performance
    Strengths:Cheap, adjustability, Doesn't bounce around
    Weaknesses:Not best paint job
    can be a little warm in the summer (It's Arizona, what do you expect)
    Similar Products Used:Specialized somethin or other
    Bike Setup:Mongoose Canaan Elite
    and old style Schwinn set up for DH and Freeride
    Bottom Line:It's made mostly for beginning riders, so the more experienced riders might want something a little more "High End"
    I still use it and lend it out when needed
    I'd get it again. It's cheap and protects my noggin. Don't be afraid to buy it. Not the best but not the worst
