Strengths:    Light, fits my huge head. Keeps my head cool. It protects really really well

Weaknesses:    none

Bottom Line:   
I wanted to thank Bell for making such an awesome product.
Had it not been for it I may not be alive or all there.
I was flung over the handlebars at over 30mph, landed headfirst into the asphalt(I weigh 200lbs). Helmet was broken in 6 places but I survived with just a few dozen scratches, bruises, jammed finger and twisted ankle and a minor concussion. The bike is in shambles, wheels folded, all my clothes, gloves, shoes ripped but I survived.
Thank you bell

Strengths:    Passed the ultimate test (a crash) TWICE!
Light for a $50 helmet
Head harness did a good job of keeping the shell off of my skull.
Visor was great in both sun and rain.
Warm on really cold days. Counts for a lot if it's also raining.

Weaknesses:    Hot on the worst days. More vents would have been nice.

Bottom Line:   
Really nice helmet. Wore it through 2 crashes. About a month after the second crash the harness broke away from the shell and I had to replace it. The shell showed no signs of damage after either crash.

Strengths:    Effectively protects the skull while being very comfortable.

Bottom Line:   
I crashed recently while wearing the Aquila helmet. I came out with only a bump but the helmet cracked in several places. Had it not been for this helmet those cracks would have been in my skull. This helmet saved me a trip to the hospital and it is comfortable too!
