   The helmet itself seems great so far. I’ve been using it almost a month and ride 2-3 times a week, weather permitting here in the Houston area. The knob to tighten the band works great one handed, even with my gloves on. The lining pads are held in with velcro and you can remove them to wash them. I had a long ride and they were soaked and I want to try to rinse them every few rides so they don’t get too funky. I just rinsed them in warm water, let them dry and attached them to the helmet.My other helmet is one of the Bells that is just round and didn’t have a visor. I don’t have any others to compare the function to, but the visor on this one works well enough for me.I was pretty excited about the camera mount and didn’t realize it came with it, I think I read another review that it was a separate purchase. Well, I setup my camera on it and it takes only a slight bump to knock it off the helmet. It just wouldn’t work for me or where I ride as there are many branches that I often have to use my helmet to block so they don’t slap me in the face.My only other complaint about the helmet is that in the very front where the little “sweat collector” pad velcros to the helmet in the front center, the side of the velcro tape that is supposed to be glued to the helmet came off with the little pad. I’ll super glue it or something if I have to, but was able to get it to stick for now, but I haven’t tried to separate them again, but it will probably come off again.My only other complaint is that the helmet was labeled as a woman’s, but honestly, I don’t give a darn, I love the color scheme. It fits well, I wear a size 7 or did years ago when I wore cowboy hats and fitted ball caps. I have only a little adjustment, so if you have a size 7 head but have lots of hair, you may want to go up a size. I have short hair. Also consider if you wear a helmet liner. It gets hot here and I’m going to be testing out that cooling gear once it warms up more.So far the ventilation seems good. I will try to update the review if anything changes, but for now, I think its a really good “bang for buck” helmet that comes with MIPS. Maybe you’ll have better luck with the camera mount, but mine pops off too easy to risk losing my camera. I’ll either strap it to the helmet or just wear the chest harness to film my rides…which would probably be better so the camera isn’t getting smacked by branches.

   This helmet truly saved my noggin from an unexpected low tree branch, took a real knock that severely dented the outer shell and cracked one of the inner foam ribs in half, but the MIPS worked great and I came away with zero injury and just a bit stunned. So for actual performance as a head saving device, NO complaints, 5 stars :)On top of that, it’s a very good looking item, and fits perfectly, without squishing my sunglasses against the bridge of my nose, which some other helmets do. I also really like the adjustable visor.Just two complaints (nothing’s perfect I guess):1) the little yellow rubber retention do-dads that keep the MIPS membrane attached to the helmet itself are just too cheap, and don’t last long, maybe 1 year or so (and of course, the warranty is 1 year….) It would sure be nice if they lasted longer, or at least could be replaced once broken, but Bell says they cannot be field replaced. I often kind of squeeze the helmet against my head to wring out the sweat when riding – in doing so, it seems to put too much stress on those do-dads, and eventually they will just break in half. Once that happens, the helmet is basically done. *Maybe* you could still use it with one of those busted, but with 2 or more busted, it’s not usable, the thing just floats all over your head at that point. In any case, even with one busted, not sure if it would perform right from a safety standpoint… Not sure if this is Bell or just the MIPS design in general (same or similar retention do-dads seem to be used on other vendors).2) the plastic bolts holding the visor in place are awful. They are almost guaranteed to fall out within a week or two of riding, and you’ll probably lose at least one that way and not be able to find it since the bolt will fall out at some point but the visor won’t noticeably detach from the helmet on that side until the next big hit or whatever. I tried putting some loctite on to hold them in, but since they’re plastic, that just solvent dissolved them and made them unusable. Now I basically just replace them with metal bolts and loctite as soon as a I open the box, having learned from the previous couple. YMMV. Happy riding!

   First, I’d like to say this is a pretty good helmet. It’s light enough, seems like it would protect my noggin, has MIPS, looks good, it’s comfortable, etc. The one thing I found disappointing is that its supposed sweat management feature is completely useless. I think I’ve had more sweat running down my face, into my eyes and onto my glasses with this helmet than any I’ve ever had. I upgraded to this from a Bell Super, which wasn’t good at managing sweat either, though it didn’t claim to be. It’s almost like a sick joke, like haha we’re gonna claim it deals with sweat better, but, joke’s on you, it’s the worst we’ve ever made! I’ve resorted to a thin workout headband under the helmet, though I haven’t ridden in heat since I got that so it remains to be seen if that helps. But again, this is one star off of what would be a 5-star helmet. If your head doesn’t sweat excessively like mine apparently does, it is an excellent helmet.

   I feel like it might look a little funny but thats just me. Very comfortable. Lightweight. The sweat band in the front works well. Fit adjustment wheel in the back also works great. Great ventilation. Holding up nicely so far.

   I had to replace my old uvex helmet. I wanted a helmet with a long visor as I live where it is sunny most of the time. Really hard to find a helmet with a longer visor. This helmet is comfortable, has good ventilation & long visor. You can adjust the visor two positions one shorter other longer. Glad I purchased this helmet.

   Been searching for a helmet that doesn’t look dumb. This one sits down on my head rather than standing up like a mushroom cap.
