Over the last few weeks, IlI have returned three helmets and I can say I have finally found the winner. I’ve been looking for a BMX-ish type helmet for cruising around the hood on my bike. Two of the helmets were advertised incorrectly as applying to biking or are questionable on safety—advertised with [certification] but with no markings or stickers lending credit to the claim. They also came only in a tied-off bag...sketchy. The third one had such a large dome that it made my head look huge....probably a safe helmet, but not the youthful look I was after.Opened the amazon box and was extremely happy to find the helmet in packaging worthy of a new helmet from a store. The box had the advertised certifications right on the front of the box. Additionally, the inside of the helmet had certification stickers and mfg date/lot stickers. All the info in the helmet and on the box made me feel like I was getting a legit safe product. I got the glass black helmet and it’s about as glossy as a highly polished car. I’m talking 95% mirror gloss. I like the green color of the brand stickers and the chin strap. Only one strap is green, the other is black. It also comes with a large orange sticker to slap on something and additional pads. The space/cut-outs above the ears is ample. The thickness of the inner impact foam and the shell along with the overall shape is just right. I feel like I’d be protected but also don’t look like a commuter.The fit is nice. With the pads, it sits on your skull cap evenly and is cushioned just right. Nowhere does it compress or rub on a given spot. There isn’t a back adjustment cage/dial to tighten it down, but it actually sits/fits so well when the straps are properly adjusted. Because of this, I wasn’t overly concerned it wasn’t going to stay on should I go airborne and skid on my melon. The air port holes aren’t very big but still allow enough airflow to move through that you won’t get too too sweaty.This helmet was a winner. I liked it so much I was adding my own stickers to it after only 5 minutes. I’d highly recommend this helmet and we’ll probably get another one for the family.

I commute to work on cycle, in the summer ive been using a Giro Helmet, as its gotten colder and darker i wanted something with less vents because of cold air and with more protection.* I have a very large cranium, its got its own moon and seasons, i have struggled with sizes of helmets and hats for years, this large size fits very well. Its snug without being overly tight, i would have loved a little extra cushioning by means of interchangeable pad inserts, you do get some with it but they are like for like, which in fairness is also a decent feature.*The helmet is less than a hundred grammes heavier than my Giro lid which is very lightweight, at under 450g its light considering the amount of plastic casing it has.* I still wanted some vents to allow partial air travel into the lid, this does just that, theres no need to get sweaty in a full lid. I didnt think i could fit a helmet mounted light, or a camera if i decide to get one, however i have done using cable ties as pictured. One tip would be not to tighten them too much as they could cut into the foam, however they are not noticeable on the head when wearing.* After a month of wearing it has not become less comfortable, the pads are intact and cushioning remains the same as the day i put it on, it feels robust, its obviously got a lot of fans in extreme sports so the fact its also so versatile as an everyday commuter lid is great.* With having minimal vents i find it useful for storing gloves, keys etc, something i couldnt do before with a fully vented lid.* The chin strap is totally adjustable and fairly easy to do, fits right under the chin and doesnt sit on it, a cushioned pad might be useful if you want it really tight but you can easily make one yourself out of the extra pads supplied if necessary.* It appears solid, im not shy in chucking it around and so far no scratches or dents etc, that said the ultimate sturdiness test is a crash and not something you really want to test! I feel confident however it would perform well and so for me this is the most important factor.* Overall its a fantastic looking helmet, the large size is nice and snug and its lightweight but with obvious protection advantages over a more traditional cycle helmet. Buy one if your looking for a well made premium helmet thats both great looking and sturdy!

Amazing helmet! Sing it for both mtb and skate

I got so sick of the butt-in-the-air snooty bike shop people, with there tour de france pants and dorky helmets. Finally stumbled upon this one and gave it a chance. Love the look, love the feel, and while it's a bit warmer than the snooty bike helmets, its a way better look for me. I get smiles from people while wearing it, and no one is pulling out in front of me like Mr. officer safety. I might not be a stunt skate guy, but my e-bike and scooter aren't exactly nerd alert despite having my mid life crisis at 33 about 7 years too early. I'd recommend you get this for the younger buck for their bike, scooter, skateboard, or the disappointment of the 1980s inner child me that is the hoverboard. This shiz brought me back to the tony hawk days, and ill see you all on my dorky scooter, or my midlife crisis wannabe motorcycle as i pass the dude in the padded golf...i mean bike pants on the road. ps, its a really great helmet, its thinner than bike racing helmets, and actually works very well!

I have a bigger head than most. This is the only bicycle helmet that I have found to be both comfortable and secure. Some helmets are comfortable but don't feel like they are going to do their job and this one isn't like those.For reference, when I ride a motorcycle, I wear a XXL modular motorcycle helmet. My head is so big, I cannot get my head into a standard XXL full helmet. I found only a modular (the face flips up) can work because it can open wider. The helmet in this review is the XL and fits my cranium well with the thinnest padding set. It is a little tight but I'm sure the padding will break in and be even more comfortable.
