Used product for : 5 months
Quality of Construction :
This helmet is a great example of quality workmanship. Attention to detail is evident here.
Fit :
The helmet has a cinching device, what Rudy Project calls their "retention system adjustable disk". This disk enables you to dial in the fit precisely.
Comfort :
Padding is plush, especially in comparison to the Giro and Bell helmets I've had in the last few years. The helmet even incorporates padding for the front half of your head, with a bug filter to keep pesky critters out of your hair.
Durability :
So far so good. I've been training hard, and dragging this helmet all over the place to go on rides and t still looks like it did when I got it two months ago.
Value :
Excellent pricing compared to the competition.This is a high end helmet without the high end price
Appearance :
I have the White, pink, and silver version and it screams style! I get lots of compliments from other bikers, the gurlz seem to love it :)
Customer Service :
I bought the helmet direct and the people there are first class.

Strengths

The helmet is clearly a value leader for a high end helmet. This helmet is 300 grams which is similar to a lot of helmets in the $125-150 range. The padding and bug screen are a couple of my favorite feature. I thnk the helmet is very comfortable compared to the other more commonly found models I had previously.

Weaknesses

Rudy Project needs to produce more helmets, as their new popularity is making them hard to find right now.

Summary

I plan to buy this same helmet again...at least two more since I have a habit of crashing!
