Bell has the same. It's not really worth the bother. It's 50% off the MSRP, which is barely less than most online retailers sell for normally, and when I went to replace my Citi, it was about $8 more than I could buy last year's Citi for on closeout, and only about $5 less than I paid for a closeout Metro.
I always just shop around for what's on sale and will fit me, and 50% off retail isn't going to be less than a closeout sale. I think I may actually start keeping an eye out, and buy a nice helmet when they're on sale to have one waiting in the basement for when the current one gets broken or just dies of old age.
