I got the Kickstarter helmet about a year-ish ago (they are offered on Amazon now). The padding dug into my temple and was very uncomfortable (I vaguely recall reading somewhere that they fixed that issue in the post-Kickstarter offerings). I never got used to it, so I use the traditional helmet. One of these days I am going to try the Plixi, Brooks, and Closca helmets (in that order).
