The most comfortable SPD cycling shoe for wide feet ever. My feet don't get too hot when riding in 90-degree heat or too cold when the temperature is 40 degrees. The newer version of the shoe fits like a glove. This is my second pair. That's not to say that my first pair is worn out after nearly 20,000 miles of riding tarmac and gravel. I just wanted a backup shoe with the exact fit when the time comes to retire my first pair of RX80. Highly recommend.
I had been wondering and wanting some of these since they came out so when they went on a good sale I pulled the trigger and have worn them many times.
The padding is not thick enough for me, hands and wrists are getting more crabby by the day so not ideal despite the padding having been touted as special.
They fit and feel very good aside from all that so I encourage anyone not struggling with crabby hands and wrists to try them.
This has become my go to skullcap for several reasons. First the fit on my head is great as it sits right above my ears when fully stretched out without feeling too tight. I actually don't feel it once I start my rides. It stays cool during hot days and protects my baldish head from sun burn. The combination of a sweat band and mesh keep my face dry from sweat. At first before you break it in its a bit uncooperative when trying to put on. After a few washes it stretches just a bit and becomes easier to put on. I have purchased generic less than equivalents for cheap from Amz but they typically are poor fitting either too big/long and a waste of money. I own both the black and white equivalents to match either my white or black helmets. I am a daily rider and have multiple Castelli Summer Skullcaps so I can ensure I have a clean one available at all times.
Have had many helmets over the years including prior Lazer models. Fit is an individual thing for sure but this Lazer Z1 checked all the boxes for me. Best fitting helmet I have ever owned. I always wear a vintage cotton cycling cap under the helmet. The cut of the brim allows me to wear it comfortably with the brim up or down. Also fits the contour of my sunglasses. Straps and buckles are just right. I forget that it is even on my head after the first few miles and even after 50.
