Hey guys, did anybody here use this helmet and if so, what are the thoughts on it? If not, what’s the general consensus on the attachable goggles?
I like the look of it, just want to hear your thoughts on it, if it’s worth it, comfortable, etc. Thanks in advance!

I have it and sing its praises all over. Quality is great, the magnetic visor is convenient, it’s fast and ventilated surprisingly well. Only thing is that you may fog up a bit when coming to a stop. It also looks a bit try hard but whatever…
It’s cheaper than a pair of cycling glasses + helmet and it works great for me since I wear prescription glasses. I have small titanium pair that can fit under the visor.
I used to have this helmet and really enjoyed how Aero it was. However there are some pretty big cons to this helmet compared to other leading brands currently.
Pros:
looks cool
Aerodynamic
Magnetic Shield is neat
Field of view is amazing
Cons:
Heavy
Lens scratch easily
Easy to overheat during warmer weather
Magnetic shield pops off easy with rough terrain when in stored position
Magnetic does not protect your eyes much from the sides especially at high speeds compared to glasses.
I also found that I got particles of whatever in my eyes often.
I rate it as such:
Value: 6/10
Cool factor: 9/10
Usability: 7/10
Comfort: 5/10
Practicality: 4/10
Would I recommend? – No, the retail is too high and the cons of the shield and low ventilation make it a miss for performance riders.
