I bought this helmet about four months ago and used it on all my rides, on and offroad. The fit was perfect and very comfortable. The helmet feels as if it firmly covers your whole head rather than sitting on top of it, like a lot of other helmets. The only negative aspect is that I find it a bit warmer than comparable helmets, especially here in South Africa where it gets quite hot – but not a problem on cooler rides. However, the main reason I’m writing this review is that I wore the helmet during the event that we all fear most – an accident where I was thrown over my bars. The helmet remained firmly on my head; I had no neck pain; and through the whole experience the helmet did everything that I bought it for. I fell on the side of my head and got wacked at the back by the bike as well, so I guess the WaveCel and casing did their job perfectly.
