Aside from that, Specialized's (I think) the entire line passes the more stringent Snell testing and is the only helmet manufacture sold in America that does except for one model in the Limar brand of helmets.
When reports start to come in, I'll be very interested in reading about how the Kranium carboard bike helmet performs in daily use...not particularly crashes per se, but in the way of details of day to day use, on long and short rides, in all sorts of conditions. How comfortable it is...hot/cold. How it holds up to heat and moisture. Styling means something to me, and in that department, this helmet could use some help.
