Strengths: My son who is 7 wears this helmet, and has the flame looking one. He loves it because it looks so cool! But from a Mum's point of view, it's from a well respected company that I am sure would perform well if he had a tumble.
Weaknesses: None.
Overall: Good fit, comes in lots of colours, comes with a peak that is detachable, and my son loves it because it makes him look like a proper bike rider which is very important to young 'un's!
Strengths: It fits me perfectly (the size range is the same for youths as it is for women) and so I'm not in a rush to take it off at pit stops. Even if I didn't fasten it, it would still be very secure. Price is good for something that fits so well. Plenty of vents to keep cool. Brim clips-off if needed. It looks cute ;o)
Weaknesses: 'Helmet hair' is worse than 'hat hair' :o(
Overall: It has a girlie pink option - if I have to wear a helmet, I may as well have some fun. I took a heavy tumble last weekend and landed with my head on a large rock. The Flume saved me head - it just has a small gouge out of the rim and the shell is fine. Had it not been so comfortable, would I have been so keen to wear it all the time?
