| Pros | Fairly lightweight. I like the extra protection at back. Good venting | | Cons | none | | Verdict | Great lid for those who are trail riding.. Not a XC race helmet. |
| Pros | Light
Comfortable
Well vented
Good coverage for the back of the head
Easy adjustment
| | Cons | Hard to mount helmet cam securely
Expensive
| | Verdict | If you ride regularly at all, get this helmet and you will love it. I've used one for about 3 years (on my second one, first one saved my life in a bad crash) and I just got my wife to switch and she said she doesn't know how she used anything else.
Also, watch for sales, the list price is quite steep. |
