You made a good entry-level choice. I'm not a fan of polycarbonate-only shells; but it should do fine for you. I would strongly suggest that if you ever crash it hard that you take advantage of the crash replacement policy. Do not take chances with poly.

I wore the carbon Bravo for the last two seasons and liked it a lot. I recently retired it for the new Strike, which feels nearly as light and fits my melon better.

question is, why would you buy it then ask for opinions?
i have a 661 strike, but i can't really comment on the full comp.

I have one of the comps also. It looks so freaking huge compared to the new strikes and especially with it on on my small frame...
