 Great helmet, just big enough for a 23.5" head, BEWARE Amazon's packaging decisions!Feb 18, 2012
By RoundHead
Good looking helmet, adds less bulk to my big head and avoids the 'mushroom' appearance my last helmet had. My big head measures 23.5" around and is of average proportions. This helmet just fits me at the largest adjustment. It's really quite perfect for me, but if you're any larger than 23.5", you will need a larger helmet. I had to only use one of the included adhesive pads to protect to crown of my head. I also shave my head, your hair will keep you from needing this.
I compared this to the other 4-letter brand in this price range at a local store. Overall build quality looks better than the other brand: better quality straps, the size adjustment system actually works without binding or loosening up, overall higher quality feel than the competition. Also, there is more styrofoam protecting the lower back of the head that the others. It's no BMX helmet, but I feel more protected than in the other brand.
As others have mentioned, the adjustment straps may cause discomfort near your cheek. I was able to adjust these flat, but you should try the helmet before buying it.
Whoever packaged this helmet was very ignorant. The shipping box was fine, but the manufacturer's box had a 2"x4" hole punched into it, and the foam on the back of the helmet was slightly damaged. Since I'll probably scratch it more on my own, I didn't return it, but this was also because the return shipping outweighs any discount Amazon provided me. Usually Amazon has satisfied, but it's inexcusable to send a damaged product. Just beware, if you want a 'brand new' helmet without a scratch, you may want to cough up the extra eight bux and pick it out at the store.

GREAT!Dec 12, 2011
By ahollowcut
Love this helmet. Very slim profile, doesn't give me a mushroom head appearance at all. Fits well, adjustable strap in back is great.

Giro transferOct 25, 2011

Let me say that I hate the way bike helmets look. I'm a former skateboarder / BMX rider so the whole spandex tights / mushroom helmet thing doesnt work for me. I'm a casual rider (soft tail with hybrid tires) and I ride about 5 - 10 miles a day of mixed pavement / trails. I generally don't even wear a helmet but was trying to set a good example for my 9 year old she she would wear hers. I was looking for a reasonable comfortable, least dorky looking bike helmet I could find. This fits the bill, it's comfortable, breathes well and has a lower profile than all the other helmets I've tried on. Construction seems solid and the straps and adjustements work well (though the wheel in the back is a bit of a pain to work). Still a great casual, general purpose bike helmet for (imo) a low price. 4 starts

Comfortable, lightweight, and creates a nice profile.Apr 21, 2011
By Bmore corgis
This helmet fits well, was easy to adjust, and doesn't give me a giant mushroom head. I highly recommend it.
Great Helmet, But?May 25, 2012
By Steve

This helmet has worked great for me. It's very light and looks good. I was a little concerned about it fitting, as I have a 23.5" head. If you have a larger head you will need a different helmet. This replaced a Giro Venti that I had a very serious crash with. The Venti did the job, I hit my head hard enough to crack the foam shell. If you require a larger size the Venti might work for you.
