Favorite Ride:
anything

Bike Setup:
Raleigh full carbon, DA 7800, neuvation wheels

Summary:
I got this helmet because it was cheap and it looked kind of like a legit helmet. It fits well, vents well enough, and has gotten me through 4 years of cycling and three seasons of racing. It looks fine. I will be replacing it soon with a nicer helmet because now I am willing to pay more and I've crashed several times on this helmet (it protected me very well). I would reccomend it to anyone who's new to road cycling and/or has a tight budget.

Strengths:
price, ventilation, fit

Weaknesses:
one of the pads (the forehead one) came off and I had to glue it back. it doesn't look quite as good as the very expensive helmets.
