I received this item--quickly, as always, and was hoping for the best...after all, all these helmets have the same safety rating. Alas, I was underwhelmed, to say the least. The "padding" on the inside was peeling off and it was downright uncomfortable. The super-expensive helmets are only esoterically better (slightly lighter and that's about it) than moderately priced ones but I think one must spend around $60 or so to get one of good quality that's comfortable, as well. Actually, Costco has a Bell helmet that is more well-made and more adjustable that's around $45-50, I think.
I really hate sending things back but this baby made a quick u-turn back to Amazon. It's the epitome of Chinese crap, IMO. One more note...having tried on several different helmets, I'm convinced it's wise to pick one that's your size, as opposed to a universal fit. The sized ones have adjustments but they're subtle, and much more comfortable. Happy riding....
