Product Description

The F107 is an exceptional helmet for the protection it provides in such a compact helmet design. For 2002 the Race Proven F107 has been reinforced in the mastoid region to provide additional protection for the back of the head, making it one of the safest polycarbonate shell cycling helmets available. The F107 also includes a removable visor, giving you the option to use it on or off-road. With such features as Superior ventilation, precision fit Sizing System comfort, and a Coolmax® inner pad kit, its no coincidence that it is used by so many pro teams, including: Team CSC Tiscali, Telekom, Gary Fisher, Navigators, and Paola Pezzo. The F107 packs superior protection and a lot of great features into a truly compact helmet. - 37 Vapor-flow vents - Removable Front Visor w/ Polycarbonate Reinforced Mold Construction - Backshell reinforcement for mastoid protection

Strengths:    Light, fits well, easy to adjust.

Weaknesses:    Very poor/pain-causing design where front strap meets helmet.

Bottom Line:   
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, easy to fit, cool (as in "not hot")

Weaknesses:    Pink Telecom color only color available...

Bottom Line:   
The best fit of any helmet I've ever used. Easy to adjust and great for larger heads, like mine. Some people here say it's quiet, but I had a lot of wind noise...

Date Reviewed: July 5, 2004

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.


Bottom Line:   
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:    Light, comfortable, excellent adjustments.

Weaknesses:    Hotter than heck.

Bottom Line:   
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.

Strengths:    It fit. Slim design. Plenty of protection. Lightweight

Weaknesses:    Hotter than the Pneumo

Bottom Line:   
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!
