Lazer Helmets O2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Giant TCR Limited and an old school Lemond Zurich... can't beat the quality of steel!

Summary:
I bought this helmet a few months ago to replace an aging Limar that wasn't performing up to my "standards". I tend to sweat a lot as a rider and the Limar, though boasting 20+ vents, left a lot of hot spots on my head and caused a lot of sweat to run into my eyes or onto my sunglasses. I've noticed that a lot of companies tend to brag about how many vents their helmets may have, but I've found that it's not necessarily the number of vents that cool you down but rather where they're placed and how they're shaped. The O2's ventilation is GREAT! Since I've been wearing it I havent had the problems with sweat running down my forehead onto my glasses or into my eyes.
I considered the Bell Sweep and Giro Atmos helmets too but found the Lazer O2 to be more comfortable and quite a bit cheaper than the other two. I've used Bell, Giro, Limar and Specialized helmets in the past and have found this to be one of the most comfortable helmets I've ever owned. The retention system uses a metal wire rather than plastic gears and parts that I've found to break or strip over time.
I would recommend this helmet over many others that are well over the O2's price range. Why spend $150+ when you can spend ~$100 for something better?
