Expert Reviews

• The rear adjustment band uses buttons rather than a wheel to tighten the band, resulting in a loose fit that doesn’t always stay locked on.
• Snap-on visor is minimally adjustable and does not securely stay put.
• Rear adjustment band requires two hands to operate, making it hard to adjust while riding.
• Very limited padding inside, and none on the rear adjustment band.
• Reports of people preferring helmets that use locking hardware to fix the chin strap into position.
• The padding doesn’t prevent sweat from running down into your face.
• This helmet has no other technical features like camera mounts or alternative goggle attachments.
• The peak is fixed to the body of the helmet with two plastic clips, with no opportunity to adjust.
