Previous Feedback
Comments: Overall I find this to be a great helmet. I purchased it in mid 2010 and haven't had any regrets yet. I really like the tool-free adjustment on the sides. I usually have a hard time finding a helmet with a good fit, and at a LHS it's frustrating with helmets that only adjust by using a screwdriver. It ends up taking more time than I would like and most of the time the helmet doesn't fit. With this I didn't even need to ask for any assistance, just put the bucket on, open the sides and find where it fit my head. Kudos I have taken a few hit to the head and so far the helmet has done what it is supposed to. Since I have a cage on it the chin strap got annoying, but I took that off right away and it feels great. The liner isn't the softest but it keeps the helmet secure and dries out very quickly. I can leave my helmet in my bag and not worry about it while I have to air out my other equipment. My only problem with the cage is that it is almost to short for my face. The chin cup seems to sit about a 1/2" higher than I would like, but overall does not affect much.
