"Easy to use, looks cool,and enhances performance.
I love it!"TriCoachJenm

(5)

Ease of use

I've heard that aero helmets can be tricky getting on and off in transition, but after a few practices, I had no problem with it during a race. Easy on, easy off. No time lost.

(5)

Quality of Construction

The helmet meets USA guidelines, so it has to be a certain quality. But they manage to do this and keep it super light at the same time.

(5)

Fit

I measure right on the border of small and medium. I ordered and medium and it fits great and is comfortable.

(5)

Comfort

Super comfortable. I was worried about temperature, but I wore it for Wildflower long course (It can get pretty warm out there) and I was fine. I didn't feel that I was any warmer than my regular road helmet.

(5)

Adjustability

The straps are easy to adjust to fit and once set for me, minor adjustments can be made with one hand via a simple knob at the back.

(4)

Durability

I haven't had it for long, so I can't really speak on it's durability, but I'm assuming it is less durable than a regular road helmet.

(5)

Value

I love the helmet!
I think it is very worth the money.

(5)

Appearance

I look super fast (even if I might not be) and it comes in a variety of very cool colors.

(5)

Performance

I've worn the helmet twice. In a practice time trial (14 miles) I improved my time by almost 2 minutes. In a half ironman, I improved by 8 minutes. I'm sure some of the improvement was training, but I'm also sure that some of the improvement was the helmet.

Strengths

Fast and fashionable. Who could ask for more? :)

Weakness

Possibly hotter in very hot races, but not much.
