"I love this helmet. And will use it for years to come. It is a good racing helmet and offers some of the best protection out there."velocomp

(4)

Ease of installation

This helmet is great. The adjustment of the straps is easy and the rear head lock mechanism makes it easy to adjust for proper fit.

(5)

Ease of use

Once the straps are set, putting on a helmet is hard to describe as challenging. :) This is easy. Also with the straps built into the shell of the helmet, you don't have the twisting of the straps you normally would.

(5)

Quality of Construction

The helmet has your typical construction with one added feature, a carbon fiber mesh built into the shell for added strength.

(4)

Fit

I've had several helmets and always had a problem finding just the right helmet with the right fit. I knew immediately that this helmet would work.

(3)

Comfort

The decibal I figured out must have to do with the noise. With so many vents, you do hear the wind when riding. Not so much you can't hear anything else, but more than my old helmet.

(4)

Adjustability

The straps are easily adjusted and the back head lock system is great for adjusting the fit.

(5)

Durability

With a carbon fiber mesh built into the core, this thing is solidly built. As mentioned previously I like that the straps are built into the helmet rather than just floating inside.

(4)

Value

This is an expensive helmet. My wife bought it for me. The Aurora is essentially the same helmet for $100 but the straps are not built in. If you are worried about money, look at that. But again, why skimp on the thing that protects your head?

(5)

Appearance

I think this helmet looks great. Right up there with the Atmos from GIRO.

(5)

Performance

Keeps me cool and is very comfortable. Easy to adjust. I haven't had to use it to protect my head, and hopefully won't have to.

Strengths

The strengths of this helmet are the durability, adjustability and the many vents for cooling your head. All of which it does excel at.

Weakness

Cost. This is their top of the line helmet. As noted earlier, the Aurora is almost the same helment with only minor changes.
