With huge vents in evidence and reasonably deep channels internally to guide the air over your bonce, it was clear this was going to be a pretty cool customer. We liked the understated styling but a lack of microshell over the back of the helmet leaves it open to dings. While the retention system works fine once in place, we found the two-handed squeeze and push ‘zip tie’ style Safe-T-Lite adjustment a bit fiddly, especially when trying to adjust ‘on-the-fly.’ On the positive side the fixed peak was well made and rigid, while straps were soft to the touch, and the Y-strap adjusters were fine, if not quite 100 per cent solid once locked down.
