Packaging/appearance
The packaging was good to ensure that the helmet arrived in perfect condition.
Great helmet, perfect fit right out of the box.
There are two holes in the front that are designed to hold sunglasses.
Competitiveness
One of the best helmets on the market.
Lastly, we feel it's a bit over priced.
I ordered this as a replacement of an older synthe model.
