  Good helmet for biking. May 27, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The different thicknesses of the extra foam inserts allows you to adjust the fit precisely to the size and shape of your head. I needed a thin pad in the back and a medium forehead pad. They are attached using Velcro, so you can do some test rides to see what feels best on your head.
This helmet doesn't look as goofy as regular 'Alien' style bike helmets. (It looks cool to me)! The only drawback is smaller vent holes and less air flow than the weird looking helmets. I was out riding today in the hot sun and really didn't notice a lot of difference. I got white to avoid absorbing too much solar energy. :)
I will notice a nice difference the next time I ride in cold weather. (I'm in New England). Since there are less holes (and they are smaller), I would guess that there is less chance of a sharp branch penetrating the helmet(and your head) during a crash in the woods.
The external shell of this helmet is thicker and heavier than regular bike helmets. It would seem more likely to stay in one piece during a multi-impact crash.
The straps are attached with steel brads and form a 'Y' with ample space for your ears. The instructions are very clear and explicitly explain the proper adjustment. The helmet does not interfere with your vision at all. You have to look up (all the way) before you can see the forward edge.
This is my 3rd bike helmet, and it's the best on I've owned.
