Highlights
Quality
The quality is good and it fits well.
I'm shocked at the quality, fit and style of this helmet at this price point.
While i did have a bump on my head, i shudder to think how bad it would have been if my head actually made contact with the ground.

Price
Not as good as solid as my giro mips helmet, but good fort the price.
Shipping
Safety and comfort go hand in hand in this helmut with fast, careful shipping.
Packaging/appearance
Fit perfect right out of the box.
Competitiveness
Bell's recent innovations led me to try switching brands.
