It was an amazing experience. I guarantee I have tried over 30 helmets, including three extended size models that I had to return in the mail. Finding a well-fitting helmet kind of blew me away. I didn't stop smiling for over an hour.

It has a more than adequate band size, long enough straps, and rests low enough to make me look less like an alien . It looks as good as any $60-$80 road helmet with the visor removed, and doesn't look like a $20 wal-mart job.

Highly recommended!!!!!!

Edited to add pics, to compare with the above images of my giro. Looks a lot less wierd when your helmet fits


Congratulations on finding your ideal helmet. May I make a suggestion? BUY A COUPLE OF SPARES. Seriously. Helmet companies are notorious for discontinuing good helmets. Bell did it with the Metro, so I have two spares in storage. I have them in their boxes, wrapped up and kept in a dark closet.
