Bill, i like to ride too. I decided to buy this type of helmet because of the same reasons as you now. I wanted to protect more head but wanted something that didnt look dorky but sporty. This helmet protects the back of my head and all around plus it has plenty of ventilation and it looks sporty even with the extra coverage at the back ofthe head. I

I recommend a full face helmet used for motorcycle (like, Scorpion or Icon Brand)

Other than a downhill mtb full face helmet or a motocross helmet I'd say these are the next best thing but I've never hit my head riding a bicycle to be honest. I feel safe in this though for XC mtb. I've had concussions racing motocross

I own the Fox Men's Flux Helmet, and I feel it's the best bicycle helmet I ever owned. It covers the back of your head great, and it's lightweight. I would recommend this helmet to protect you from future crashes.

How well does a hard hat secure to anyone's head? Trial and error my friend. It's not a cheap helmet. Snap on buys helmets from save phace and put their name on it. Of course Mark up the price 300%. I was confident in my purchase you will too.

Much more likely you will get headaches if you don't! I find the helmet is comfortable, with great noise and face protection - I can wear it for hours without any problem.

I am not sure... by all means it is a good and sturdy helmet. My son uses it for skateboarding and I think he is well protected.

It appears to be a safe helmet. But I have never been in an accident. I'm just ordering another for my wife.

Yes, you can wear the headset with a cycling helmet. I'll post a picture in the review section. Look for a photo there. The audio quality is very good. The headset should be fully charged before each use. I found that it I used it twice without charging in between the pairing failed towards the end of my second use. I'm not sure how long the connection lasts on a full charge. I use it for about an hour at a time with no problems. So the time that it did drop was close to the two hour mark plus a couple of days between uses. I hope this helps. I bought a Bose SoundLink Mini and I use the Aventree Jogger Pro more often.

You just need to get new velcro pads to fix the pieces to the helmet again. It comes with a few sets in the box, and you can purchase more through Amazon again if you run out or lose the extras it comes with.

Do you wear a full face helmet? If so, this would be great; if not, there are probably better choices for wind protection.

Good for 3/4 with a shield, modular and full. They have a new one on their web site for half-helmets. WWW.senabluetooth.com I would worry about wind noise with a 1/2 helmet or 3/4 with no shield. Last year I could easily tell when the wife had her shield up on her 3/4 while we rode the Northern Georgia mountains on our GoldWing.

Hi,I have this helmet and i love it. I've never felt the visor obstruct my view. I don't see how it could if you are looking forward. It doesn't fall on your face.

I have an open face helmet with the pull down face shield if I need it. I've only had 2 calls while riding, both at about 45 mph, and had to pull down the shield, but was told by the person on the other end they could hear me decently. I didn't consider trying talking with the shield up. Phone calls while I'm riding are incredibly rare, I use it more for the music too...

I would say the padding makes the helmet tolerable for the 95% of the time it is not protecting from an impact. Understandable it is the 5% of the time you are concerned but, Personally I would get the larger helmet and add in pads to make it fit more snugly. These pads do make it possible for a larger helmet to fit and you can adjust pretty well by using them. Also, this will allow you to maintain the helmet longer simply by removing pads as the child gets bigger.

I think you might be better off with an actual snowboarding helmet. This helmet has some padding, but not a lot. It also doesn't come down as low in the back and sides as a normal snowboarding helmet.

This happened to it when I crashed it hard. Did you recently crash or do it?

Yes my daughter plays competitive soccer and wears her head protection at all games and practices for that matter since sustaining a concussion. Never a problem.

well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?
