Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2024
Color: Matte OatSize: MediumStyle: HelmetVerified Purchase
The helmet is too round, my head is not perfectly round and I choose Medium size already, the side of my head is too tight and hurt, while front and back have a bigger gap. I think you have to have a Round shape head to fit. My head is not rounded.
I eventually found a Bell helmet that fits me well, I have no choice but return it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helmet with the perfect fit for bike rides
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024
Color: Matte EggshellSize: MediumStyle: HelmetVerified Purchase
Was in the market for a bike helmet and found this one on clearance for a good price. I measured my head to make sure I had the right dimensions before ordering this helmet. The helmet arrived a bit scuffed up in a nondescript amazon box. I was able to wipe clean the helmet using a magic eraser and water and it looks good as new. Perfect fit, color, and has two removable foam pieces to adjust the fit. The chin strap is a bit difficult to adjust but this probably helps ensure the safety of the helmet when riding. This was a great purchase!!
