Price Paid:  $45.00 at REI

Favorite Ride:
Smugly commuting past surly drivers in traffic

Bike Setup:
Ol' beater hybrid (Raleigh M30), with big cushy road tires. It gets me there.

Summary:
I needed to replace the el-cheapo Target special with a real helmet. The Bell Furio was on special at REI for about 30% less than their original price. They had one or two cheaper models, but this one had what I needed and nothing I didn't and it fit well when tried on in the store.

Strengths:
Shell and foam are fused well, fits snugly yet comfortably.

Weaknesses:
A little on the pricey side, but a good value all the same.

Similar Products Used:
The helmet I had before really can't compare. They were both black and had straps. The similarity ends there.

Price Paid:  $60.00 at BG Indy

Summary:
This helmet fit better than anything else I have ever worn (including a well worn Cubs fitted hat - they'll win it eventually). While it didn't have the best ventiliation, I could wear it on seriously long rides without any problems. As far as looks go... it's a helmet, nothing looks cool. I bought this as an upgrade from cheaper Bell versions - never looked back.

Strengths:
Fit, fit, fit...

Weaknesses:
Not as well ventaliated as other more expensive helmets.
