(More customer reviews)This is my 4th what I would consider "Medium/High-end" Mountain Bike Helmet. It is by far my favorite, probably its best quality is how much airflow this thing has, the gaps for the air to travel through are huge compared to other helmets I've owned so your head stays substantially cooler. This is a big plus especially when you live in the desert. The design is very eye catching, I opted for the "Black Camo" which is kind of reminiscent of the "Blue Tiger" from Modern Warfare.
The helmet also comes with another complete set of foam pads to replace the current ones when they are in need of a wash. The back adjuster piece is made of plastic/nylon and feels very sturdy and while it doesn't have a typical ratchet wheel style adjustment piece, it uses a method that requires both hands as you squeeze the helmet straps in the back to fit your head. To some this might be a con because you can't adjust it with one hand, while I suppose this isn't enough to dock a star it should be noted. The chin straps and the buckle itself are very comfy and feel very sturdy as well, it also has a little rubber band to tuck away excess strap.
The other thing to note is that the front bill is held on by two stubs on either side and will come off with relatively little force so if you run through some brush, it pays to check your helm to see if the bill is still there. While I haven't had to, you could probably apply some shoe glue or super glue to the studs where it sits if you wanted to make it more stable. Because of the rather flimsy bill and unorthodox tightening system, I ultimately decided to dock it one star.
I have yet to be in a real crash with this thing besides hitting a few branches so I can't really comment on the durability fully but you are suppose to replace your helm after a wreck involving your head anyways, but it has been smooth sailing so far.
In summary, if your looking for a good looking but functional helmet, I would very strongly recommend the flux
