Comments about Cannondale Teramo Bike Helmet:
I commute to work. Not a long commute, generally between 3-5 miles depending on the route I take. But lately it's been really hot.
The big vents on this helmet are really great for these hot days because I can feel the wind blowing through them and cooling me. On cooler mornings I have a little skull cap that I throw on underneath this. The clickable adjustment system on the back works great to easily adjust the fit.
The one knock I would have on this helmet is that it definitely leaves an imprint on my forehead from where the pads rest, but I guess that's a sign of a snug fit... which I would imagine is a good thing.

Comments about Cannondale Teramo Bike Helmet:
I would suggest having your head sized (REI staff happily does it for you)before you purchase. I was surprised that I required the larger helmet size offered.
The intitial fit was a bit strange. It seemed short front to back and too wide side to side. Following fit instructions will alleviate most of that. It is imperative to adjust straps correctly for the best fit. The crank adjustment in the back makes it easy to change from "bare head" to "thin cap" when riding in warmer/colder weather.
It still feels quite different than other helmets I have been used to. While it did feel strange at first, it was not even noticable on my head even during 60 mile rides. It feels snug and comfortable. I think I have come to the conclusion, all my previous helmets were not fitted correctly. :)
It looks pretty good too!
Overall I would say this is a good buy.

Purchased at my LBS for a good discount, but it is certainly worth every penny for the great fit and airy ventilation.

Comments about Cannondale Teramo Bike Helmet:
I first found this helmet when looking for a new one for my wife. I looked at Bell and Giro but then saw the Teramo in the store. It had styling I knew she'd like and a nice low-profile, aero design with massive air vents. I thought the strap system and rear head adjustment were better designed than the normal brands of helmets (We've both had both Bell and Giro).
Well, she loves hers and even went and bought one for me. I just did a 100-miler to San Diego and forgot I was even wearing a helmet--it was that cool, light and comfy. I'm so glad I broke with buying the usual brands. I still have a Bell Array that's been relegated to MTB XC riding and I'm tempted to buy a black Teramo to replace it. Lastly, don't let the S/M and L/XL sizing throw you as the size adjustment is so nice that you can dial it in perfectly. That is, a small head won't be swimming in the S/M size.

Comments about Cannondale Teramo Bike Helmet:
I ride a few hundred miles a week in Colorado but am relatively new to cycling as I have only been doing it for two years. As I was looking to upgrade most of my equipment I was shocked at how pricey most of the higher end helmets were. I was originally looking at a Specialized S-Works helmet but it is over $230! After watching the video for this Canondale and comparing the specs I took a chance and ordered it. I am glad I did! While not down to the ounce weight of the S-works for half the price I believe I have a very similar helmet. It is light weight, well ventilated and fits great (not to mention looks great as well). All in all very happy with the purchase.
