Absolutely brilliant helmet. This is a great helmet for kids, and doesn't bother my daughter like some other helmets. As you know kids can be very picky about stuff bothering them, and this so far has been very comfortable for my daughter. She loves the color of course being a girl, pink is all the rave right now. She also loves the look of it and fit. She is 7 year olds, and does not fight me on wearing it. I am not sure if it is because I have the adult version, or if she just feels safer wearing it. Either way I am happy as she is wearing a helmet when riding her bike without a fight now.
After 1 use, the red light cover POPPED off and the light circuit board fell out. From my pictures you can tell the red plastic is very brittle and the screws holding everything together were over torqued. There’s also a sticker inside the helmet that shows a production date of 12/2021. Very disappointed that REI is selling old stock.
The light on this helmet broke during the FIRST ride! Stopped for coffee during a ride. Put helmet back on and pressed the light and felt it wiggle in an odd manner. Took it off to find that 2 of the tiny hard plastic brackets attached by screws were snapped. Tried carefully placing it in a secure position and the third bracket broke and whole light fell off and cannot be put back on!!! Disappointed with this purchase to say the least.
Overall, a nice helmet for the sale price. The helmet comes packaged in a sturdy and handsome box. However, no extras are included, like replacement pads or a charging cable(!). Since the light mount release is flimsy and difficult to reach, I followed a hack mentioned by another reviewer. Rather than risk breaking the release mount, I shaved off a tiny portion of the plastic mount around the charging port with a small utility knife, so that I can insert a micro usb plug directly into the light without having to remove it from the helmet. It saves on the wear and tear of the light and its helmet mount.
Comfortable but the light is easily broken and very hard to charge.
Nice helmet, Like the fit which I find easy to adjust . I will not ride without a visor and find this visor to be excellent. The light works well. Its not the easiest to remove. You reach inside the helmet and press the tab down to remove for charging. Sadly its difficult to attach a charging cord with the light attached. Hopefully in the future Cannondale will modify how this light is mounted with the idea of mounting the light in such a fashion that the light can be charged while mounted in the helmet. The light? Its not the brightest still I am glad I got this helmet as my observation is the fella with a helmet light is much easier to spot as the light is mounted higher. I deducted a star as I question how durable the mounting system will be over time
I was excited to find a helmet by Cannondale that includes a rear reflective light ... until I received the helmet. The light needs to be removed to charge but is very difficult to remove and put back on the helmet. I thought the first helmet I got was defective (a REI rep concurred) and ordered a replacement helmet. This one was the same, and the light broke the first time I tried to put it back on the helmet. I returned the helmet very disappointed in how Cannondale implemented a helmet that provides a useful and important safety feature,
The built in light would be handy, but it doesn't woek properly. Goes off about 30 seconds after you turn it on
Was excited to try this helmet but had to return due to fit. I have an oval face/head and even in the small size it would not adjust to fit side to side. Before returning I offered it to some family remembers to try and they had the same issue. This helmet would be best suited for a round or square head shape.
Great product with terrific fit. Easy to size and rechargeable back light is very effective.
