Review by NickSlyness

Not sure why this was on clearance...

Needed a new helmet. Saw this one was on clearance for a ridiculously low price so I got one. Now I wish I had grabbed two. Within minutes of riding, I forgot I was even wearing a new helmet. I have used it for casual spins around town and long, fast Sunday rides. The best thing I can say about it is that I forget it is there. As someone who unfortunately hits the pavement a bit (hence need for new helmet), I am also happy to have the extra MIPS protection. Previous helmets have always been Giro, but I am glad I made the switch.

Sizes run small, Large barely fits

Very nice style and the build has a good balance between aero and ventilation. However, the helmet isn't very comfortable for my larger head due to its shape placing pressure on my temples. In addition, the boa headband is kind of awkward and gets caught easily in hair, sunglasses and sometimes ears.

The helmet is great looking and otherwise very comfortable and sleek. But, If you feel like you may be on the larger side of the size chart (60+ cm), you may be best off avoiding these helmets unless you can try the fit in person

Good helmet. Seems to be sturdy and solid fitting. My only gripe is its kinda bulky looking for my personal taste. Although i have a small head so that might be why. If your not too concerned with looks its overall a good helmet for the average rider

Looks like a sports car from the back anyway. Comfortable. Bit strange front but yeah, not a second thought purchasing this on sale.

Comfortable and so easy to adjust.

Loved from the moment it came. Immediately comfortable alone or with winter wool cap underneath it. Old Giro mips helmet pressed eyeglass frame into head if not very careful putting on, causing pain after 15 miles or so. Not so with this. Wonderful. The bright yellow is very visible too. Hope to be unable to report any crash results! Recommended.

Hello, I recently fell wearing my ARO5, I hit the back of my head, I went to check myself at the DRs and nothing, I was well protected. I got me a second one. Besides, that is very comfortable.

Oakley boa system works.

Overall i like the style and look of the product. The boa system works well for me although it does run small....pay attention to your sizing. The profile of this helmet is bigger than my giros but it preforms well and is comfortable.

Mediocre

At first glance, I would give this helmet a 10 for style. Once I took it out of the box, though, my excitement dwindled. My first issue with the helmet was the height adjustment tab. For such an expensive helmet, the plastic piece is flimsy and snaps in and out of place for adjustments. Once it is snapped into place, it is very difficult to remove, if you're not careful you will break the piece. My next problem is while actually wearing the helmet At speed the air rushing into the large scoop at the back pulls the helmet away from your head. Very poor design. The only way to alleviate this problem to some degree is to wear a thin skullcap or sweatband like Headsweats as you can tighten the securing nob for a better grip. Lastly, for a manufacturer of sunglasses, I am disappointed with how I am unable to slide my Oakley Jawbreakers into the air vents when not in use (they do not secure nearly well enough and WILL slide right out the moment you tilt your head forward). So, taking these issues into account, it's a great looking but rather poorly designed helmet. For the price there are better quality options.
