I'm very happy with the helmet. The x large fits great and the finish is very good.
I would recommend to a friend.

This is great, better if you add ear plugs. Sound level is like a car, with the window cracked a bit. Longer rides can have wind noise, and less freeway chin protection. Best solution is two helmets, and colors that stay visible at night. This one has Great performance, super looks, low cost, I wouldn't be without one -- for shorter, or slower country rides.

I'm thinking this helmet is at it's best for less than all day rides in summer, due to wind noise and good air flow. It has it's place, and does what it does very well. Ear plugs help, but without a lower chin guard, it has some noise. The view is worth it, great clear visors, and comfy. Summer on local country rides, like no helmet at all. For what it does I'll always have one, along with a good full face lid.

Without a chin bar, there is a trade off, you get more noise, but more and better vision. Rear passengers may feel less cramped with this helmet. For city or local country rides this is it. Longer rides, it definitely needs ear plugs, then it's super for a summer cruise. For several day rides, I would opt for a full helmet for more safety, much quieter. The wind noise can be pretty tiring over time as most of us have found out.

My only negative with this helmet is the sizing to fit. It is TIGHT. I measured according to manufacturers guidelines & ordered a Large. That was TOO TIGHT. So I ordered an Extra Large and that is TIGHT.... I'm told it will get better with time. I'm debating whether I should go up a size or move to another brand. All other features are great... but if its uncomfortable I can't wear it... which defeats the purpose of having it.

I like the innovative features of this helmet especially the drop down shields. The price was very reasonable and construction is of the highest quality.

For the money, this helmet is hard to beat. Super light and great airflow. If you are on the border between sizes, go one size larger. My head measures 22 7/8", which is well inside the upper size for a medium helmet. I could barely get it on. I ordered a large and fit perfectly. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about it and would definitely recommend to anyone, even if the price was doubled. It is an awesome helmet.

I have now run with this helmet for a year. It has the best look, fit and features that can be obtained at this price. In the deep winter I switch to a modular helmet for warmth. However, anytime the temperature is above 45F, this is the helmet I prefer.
