My 11yr old son loved his new helmet. Orange is his favorite color and it fits perfectly. He is looking forward to putting stickers on it.

Love it!

Exchanged my BD Half Dome for this one, and am happy I did. This has padding and is comfortable, and I feel the ventilation does well. I got the orange color and it stands out great. Price is great too. It does run a bit small but it is pretty adjustable and I'm sure everyone can find a fit that suits them.

A bit snug snug

4 years ago

I wear a men's small (6/7) headgear, and I'm very close to maxing out the adjustment tabs for this helmet in a s/m. It leans toward being very small for an adult male. Initially, the headband adjustment tabs were pressing on the back of my nugget, creating a very bad pressure point. I was thinking that I'd have to return the helmet because it would be impossibru for me to wear this for a long period of time. Maybe I needed a larger size? Maybe I'm just overly-sensitive? No, that can't be it... Then, I looked at the constructions. The constructions have a lot of fancy words in many languages, in very tiny print; The pictures worked well for me. It's very important to have enough vertical space between the headband and the bottom of the helmet, so the adjustment tabs fit below those pressure points. The chin strap is a tad uncomfortable. It's narrow, and coarse. It could use a strip of sweet, sweet velour to make it less abrasive. I'm sure there are innumerable '80's jogging suits available to up-cycle for that cause. Once I got the fit dialed in, it's actually comfortable on the head, and very light. For the price, this is an outstanding buy if you can get your size.
