What reviewers say
There is little independent lab testing of this helmet; most feedback is from riders and retailer reviews. Riders mostly praise the comfort, the easy dial adjustment and the airflow. Retailer review summaries agree on those points. One western rider on Reddit noted it feels tight at first but settles in after adjusting on the head. Fit depends on head shape, so riders recommend measuring and trying it on.
Good
- Certified to the ASTM/SEI riding helmet standard
- Dial makes fine fit adjustments easy
- Removable, washable liner
- Low price for a certified helmet
- Wide size range including kids' XS
Not so good
- Little independent testing to compare it with other helmets
- No Mips layer on this version (Mips model costs more)
- Some sizes and colors backordered on the maker site
Who it's for
Trail riders, kids and casual riders who want a certified helmet that is comfortable and doesn't cost much. Skip it if you want added rotational protection; look at the Spirit with Mips.
