UPDATE: After 3 months owning this beauty, I had a bad crash, broke a couple of ribs and hit my head pretty hard. The helmet broke, but I had no harm in my head at all, this helmet probably saved my life. I'm one month off the saddle for now but I'm getting exactly the same helmet as replacement. I just hope to get a $180 deal as the one I got when I bought the first one instead of the full $269 price LOL. USE YOUR HELMET.

I was not very impressed with the looks and colors of many of the expensive helmets. Not even the Giro Aether had the color scheme I wanted. I almost purchased a black one. Then I found this helmet - saw the color scheme and made an immediate purchase.
It arrived today. Out of the box, this helmet looks better than in the pictures. It is a work of art. The fit is amazing compared to the cheaper helmets. On my ride, I perceived a more aero feel than the old helmets.
This helmet was a great find. Finally, the hunt for a decent helmet is over.
Industry-wide gripe: why not use double D-ring chin straps like notorcycle helmets instead of the plastic crap? Perfect fit every time and virtually unbreakable. Just sayin'.
