It's all good, but get sweat in my eyes

"I've used this for over 1500 miles, and it's great. The helmet offers around-the-head protection, aggressive MTB styling, and excellent ventilation. The helmet looks a bit large, like a mushroom, on your head, but doesn't look so large once you put on your cycling optics. However, the way the padding is designed inside, there's a nonpadded gap that runs from the front of the helmet to the back (imagine a moha..." Read Full Review »

cute!

"The helmet is really cute, I love the colors. The sizing was different from what the chart said I ordered a size too big. Once the helmet is on its great but its awkward getting on.

"Great Helmet! I like the design with all the angles and I like the fact the helmet doesnt stick out too much in the back. One of the least dorky looking ones around.

"Of all the helmets I've ever owned, this is my favorite. Great fit and ventilation. Actually looks pretty good too. The only caveat is that it's not very aerodynamic.

"This helmet is comfortable and keeps my head cool. The fit is very good once you get it adjusted.
