Bike Setup: BMC Pro Machine w/ 9-speed Dura Ace and Reynolds Carbon wheels
Summary: I bought the Limar because it was the lightest on the market and thus less stress on my injured neck. It is light, fits well and adjusts easily. But the straps are sewn and glued at the temple and sharp edges dig into both sides of my head, and they become quite painful after several hours.
Strengths: Light, fits well, easy to adjust.
Weaknesses: Very poor/pain-causing design where front strap meets helmet.

Bike Setup: 1999 Bianchi MegaPro XL Pantani replica
10 spd. Record gruppo
Campy Nucleon wheels
Vittoria Techno Pro tires
ITM bars, stem and seatpost
Summary: An outstanding skid lid with Euro flair, a styling statement apart from the all too cafeteria-like Giro, Bell, or Specialized. Recommend to any rider who aims to set himself apart.
Strengths: Lightweight, secure fit with ease of adjustment. Well ventilated too.
Weaknesses: It's S/M sized helmet is okay if you have a small head. Otherwise, the L/XL will fit the majority of riders of normal size.
The head/brow pads seem a little thin and lose their sticking ability to the underside of the helmet. Lack of a good sweat band forces you to wear one on your own if you sweat with gusto.

Summary: Light, comfortable helmet with a nice strap system and very well designed rear tensioner. The helmet is very quiet as you get up to speed. On the other side... that lack of wind noise means very little air is moving through over your hot noggin. This is definitely not a warm weather piece of headgear. Put the old Pneumo on and was amazed at the difference in temperature, much, much cooler.
Bike Setup: Road:Orbea w/Centaur
MTB: Titus RX w/XTR
Summary: I never thought about my helmet until I crashed this past week. I was lucky to find such a good fit. No trip to the hospital, no blood. Just a dented helmet. It did its job!
Strengths: It fit. Slim design. Plenty of protection. Lightweight
Weaknesses: Hotter than the Pneumo
