Yes, I'd buy it again. I like this helmet.

Visor helps to keep glare off glasses.
Adjusts well. Ventilates well too.

Others used were just cheapies.

Price Paid:  $70.00 at Jensons in Rancho Cu

Favorite Ride:
Anything over 50 Km.

Bike Setup:
Cannondale R700 with Specialized Alias 143 saddle and Speedplay X-5 pedals.

Summary:
Bought it because I liked the way it fit, and it had a visor. After three years (And I am about to replace it) the lining has come loose, although the foam is still in place. The finish has remained largely unmarred.

Strengths:
Adjustability - I ride with a balaclava when its cold, and headsweats at times in the summer. Seems to be fairly cool. I like the visor - although the usefulness of its adjustability angle is questionalbe.

Weaknesses:
The lining. But after as much use as its had I am not displeased at all.

Similar Products Used:
Bell Furio. Specialized of many years back.
