Pros: Cool looking,optional winter liner, very protective, this hard hat style helmet will hold together good thouhh the toughest of crashes, and its an all season helmet( can open close vents and ad liner depending on the temperature)

Cons: Heavier than most other helmets, although its vented its not as vented as most other helmets.

Recommendation: This helmet has just the look you want and all the protection you'll need to ride safe on even the most challenging of trails.

Pros: Good for cold weather, because there's no vents. You can either take out or leave in a liner that covers your ears too (it's my skiing helmet)

Cons: Bad for warm weather because there's no vents

Recommendation: It's my skiing helmet, didn't have the money to get a separate bike helmet this spring/summer/fall. Bad for warm weather because you sweat a ton, good for cold weather because it keeps you warm, plus you can (de/re)attach a liner to cover your ears. Better for skiing than biking
