'EXCELLENT HELMET'

Strengths:
Fit is brilliant & comfortable. Looks great in black. Got a great deal from Cycles UK, but good value at list price.

Weaknesses:
Visor seems to return to its starting position, despite the claimed 15 degrees of adjustment. But that's a minor niggle...

Overall:
So far - the best helmet I've had in 10 years of riding

'CHEAP - COMFY - LITTLE BIT WARM FOR MY LIKING'

Strengths:
Looks good in black and loads cheaper than the Xen. Comfy fit - the only one I could find in Royles that fitted my (obviously very strangely sized) noggin. FWIW I have a long, big head. That massive sized one (Testagrossa?) fits me but looks like I could provide an emergency landing site for Concorde or something...

Weaknesses:
Bit warm for my liking. I am very hot blooded though, but I certainly don't think it's *well* ventilated. Otherwise, nothing.

Overall:
I like this helmet - it feels so much more stable on than my old Bell. Hopefully it performs as well if/when it impacts the floor in a year's time with me attached. If it fits you, buy one.
