| Pros | Coverage, fit, and style | | Cons | Does not shed sweat very well, retention system | | Verdict | Two things that standout about this helmut is that if fits like a glove and that it vents your head extremely well. However, on the flip side it sheds sweat down my face and glasses and I have had to replace the detox retention. having said that the positives far out weigh the negitives. I now wear a head band when I ride and after I replaced the retention band I have had no issues with the fit. I play hockey during the winter and the helmut fits and feels like my hockey helmut...Put it on and forget it. |

| Pros | color stlye coverage | | Cons | I bought the biggest size and it was to small. Why dont they make MTB stuff for the larger bikers out there????? | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Looks, very cool. Big vents, keeps you cool in summer. Easy adjustments. Full coverage of protection. | | Cons | Bigger than many helmets. Looks a little big on your melon. Full contact points all the way around your head. Visor does not come low enough to really help block the sun, with or without it on. | | Verdict | This is a cool lid. I actually could not decide on which color so I ordered 2, the sand camo and the grey/black camo. When I race I don't wear it but go with my smaller, lighter Specialized lid. | | Recommended for: Experienced XC riders |
| Pros | Super comfortable and not so heavy. Great protection and if you do crash Fox has a crash replacement program | | Cons | nothing | | Verdict | Great helmet fits wonderfully and runs cool. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | This thing is sweet, it fits great and I don't get has hot like with my old one. | | Cons | nothing | | Verdict | none | | Recommended for: Anyone |
