        Overall

        My favorite helmet. Looks great, super comfortable and is very durable.

        Performance

        Performs amazing, I had a smith hustle before and the red helmet is far better ventilated in my opinion. My goggles have not fogged up once since I have had this helmet and my head never gets too hot or cold. It has stayed on and protected my on some pretty big falls in big air comps.Overall Performance: 10/10

        Design

        Best looking helmet out there, it does not look as clunky as the poc helmets and is shaped better than the giro shiv helmets. Take off the earflaps if you are wearing a beanie under it. My goggle straps have not bothered me at all while being worn under it. Best design out there.Overall Design: 10/10

        Value

        At $70 this helmet is a steal. Best buy of the season.Overal Value: 10/10

        Fit

        I got a medium and it fits pretty loose, I wear a oakly fine knit beanie under it with all the padding still in and that tightens everything up a bit however this weekend while messing around with my friends I landed pretty hard with some pretty good heavy head and the helmet jumped up then down and hit my goggles hard enough to jam into my nose. Also on some pretty hard falls I can feel it move around a bit but for the most part it stays in place, it has never come off. 9.5/10

        Durability

        It has held up fine for the three months I've been riding with it. I have crashed lots in the backcountry including some tomahawks and its saved my head from concussions in the park quite a bit.Durability: 10/10
