"Overall a good helmet for the cost. These can be purchased on eBay for less than $50 most of the time. I recommend this helmet for entry level triathletes or cyclists. Very solid product and I'd recommend it to a friend. Already bought one for my daughter!"Michael_Mauldwin

(4)

Ease of installation

Installation and adjustment of retaining straps was straight forward.

(4)

Ease of use

Not much to do here. Some times the ears must be adjusted after putting it on, otherwise I'd give it a 5.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Good solid construction with plenty of foam cusion, extra brow pad, and yellow carbon shell. Good ventilation.

(5)

Fit

I have a large and it fits my noggin pretty well. My daughter has a medium and hers fits her fine as well.

(4)

Comfort

Good comfortable helemt except that it tends to shift back when riding.

(4)

Adjustability

The helmet has a few adjustment points. Mainly the straps and slightly on the brow band.

(5)

Durability

Haven't taken any spills, knock on wood, although I believe the construction of the helmet will withstand a good grounder. The outter shell is pretty pliable.

(5)

Value

For an entry level aero helmet the money was well spent.

(4)

Appearance

I don't particularly care for the cusion that extends below the helmets beside the ears. Other than that the helmet has a very good look and feel to it.

(0)

Customer Service

None required.

(3)

Performance

I can't give this a 5 because I haven't seen, nor have I been, in a wind tunnel. Based on my understanding of aerodynamics, this helmet does what it is supposed to do, assuming that the wearer maintains a good head down position while riding. Definitely shaped to direct the air as you ride.

Strengths

Attractive yellow carbon shell, aero design, cost, and durability.

Weakness

Limited adjustability, helmet slides back (tilts) while riding (Might need to work on adjustment of straps).
