What I didn't like is a lack of sizing information. I had to order three of these and still the fit isn't quite right. The helmet is more like a motorcycle helmet than a bike helmet - I'm concerned that my daughter will get overheated riding with so little air circulation in the helmet (foam pads sandwich her face in the helmet).Overall, if you're trying to make sure a kid doesn't do a faceplant when riding an eBike, this is the helmet for you!Like: color is true to pic. fit is decent. provides basic coverage. compared to a FOX or TLD for the price for a beginner rider for downhill mountain biking its perfect.Dislike: size up.... I had to return the original one I ordered based on the helmet guide provided. no MIPS protection but a decent helmet for the price. entry level full face mountain bike helmetI have a son that is getting into MTB and taking the sport very seriously. Because of this, I started looking for a helmet that could protect him entirely. This has fit the bill!SIZE: At first we order the smaller helmet which didn’t fit. So we returned it (with the same company) for the size S (my son is 7) and it has been PERFECT! There is enough space for him to grow into the helmet for at least another 2 years. That makes this well worth the money!LOOKS & FEEL: As far as style is concerned, this thing is sick! It’s a matte black with gloss black design and is smooth as butter. He’s the baddest kid on the pump track and everyone wants to know where he got his helmet from. I took pics.FUNCTIONALITY: The padding is extremely adequate and all around the head. There’s a strap underneath the chin that is secured by a press in snap-button that works flawlessly every time. The strap is adjustable for growth when needed.I hope this helps! Happy Riding!There are a couple minor improvements I would've paid a little extra for in this exact configuration if they were available, but for the money I think this helmet is close to unbeatable.To keep it short, the Medium was true to size and fit the head and face nicely with good padding shape/placement. The finish is also smooth to the touch and the helmet has a nice aesthetic without being bulky.Most importantly, the chinbar placement and design appears functional. This coming from using the Giro Switchblade whose chinbar design provides deficient coverage (too low) and is useless after impact in a slide (from personal experience).The only things I would improve upon would be getting rid of the D-rings in favor of a Fidlock strap system and better quality fabric for the helmet liner. All that said, this still gets 5/5 for the price point.I'm not dead.Pretty amazing helmet overall. I ordered a youth medium because it is my size. The padding is thick and very comfortable... except the back top head padding... It seems there is none. I can feel the helmet squeezing that part of my head and can feel the plastic. Really unsafe in the event of a crash if I were to hit the back of my head. I would most likely instantly get concussed. I would suggest either more padding there or at least something. Other than that absolutely no complaints. I got the helmet in perfect condition and it arrived within 3-4 days of ordering! BEWARE OF CUSHION AND PADDING IN BACK OF HEAD!!!It’s a cheap helmet, but for just a little more, you can get one with twice the amount of padding.Ended up returning this helmet relatively quickly after noticing some quality concerns with it-visor and helmet didn’t line up, padding not great. Seller said I’d have to pay a bit of the shipping to return, understandable. THEN I was only refunded half, yes half of the total $110 because aside from sending it back in the pouch and another box they wanted the original thin box it came in…got rid of it because I had originally planned on keeping the helmet. Messaged the company right after and they claimed they kept HALF of what I PAID on top of the extra shipping fee because it wasn’t returned in with the original box..SO they kept over $60 of tue $110 I spent and still got the helmet back. No where was that disclosed in their terms and seems so greedy and unethical. The helmet costs that much or less to manufacture I’m willing to bet so I pretty much got robbed over a lame piece of cardboard excuse which definitely doesn’t cost $60 to make. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this company, product or buy from here EVER AGAIN. Enjoy my money and avoid purchasing this product all together.Fits great. Only issue is slightly harder to shoulder check now bc of the chin bar (I ride mostly in city) but likely an issue with any full face helmet. Would recommend.Fits perfect if you follow measuring chart. Nice and light.
