"excellent helmet"

This is a very comfortable helmet with a nice fit. Most of the helmets you'll find in this price range don't fit well. Believe me, I've tried a number of them. But this one fits me great. My wife has the same model and it fits her well too, thanks to the dial-fit system.

One small piece of advice: It has a more rounded appearance from the front than most bike helmets do. So if you don't like the thought of a "round" look when someone's looking at you straight on, this might not be the helmet for you. 5 stars

"Helmet-No Death"

I wore the helmet during the recent 39-mile Bike NY Tour. I didn't fall, and consequently, I didn't get to see if the helmet would prevent my death. But, knowing I was protected, I rode faster than I ever have and was whizzing down the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at a brisk 24 mph to wrap up the race. If I do fall, I will get back to you and let you know how it worked to save my head. Of course, should it fail, I will not be able to write a further review. 5 stars

"Great fit, great price"

I really like this helmet. It's from a name brand company who has made many contributions to the innovation of bicycling helmets. It fits well - it has the "dial" fit system (every helmet company has their own name for it). It's easy to adjust, comfortable, comes with extra padding (I guess in case your head doesn't fit perfectly). It's one size fits all.

It didn't come with a visor and I do not see an option for one. I guess just get some sunglasses. The helmet is very compact and very light. Amazing value. 5 stars

"Great first helmet"

I usually don't like wearing helmets when I ride my bike but considering the risks, I've changed my tune and now think that it's wise to do so.

Having said that, I found this helmet at Dick's but thought that I can get a better deal at Amazon which I did. Great delivery etc. and the helmet fits well and has a nice neutral look to it.

on the fence? Buy it, you're not going to be sorry. 5 stars

"A good buy"

A comfy and economical helmet that fits surprisingly well. Only flaw I'd say is the weird angle of the side straps. Nevertheless, a great deal for a sub-$30 helmet. 4 stars
