Super super SUPER, light. The first time I picked up this helmet I felt like it was going to break if a cross wind hit it, but it's solid. The ventilation is sufficient for my needs, and the fit is exceptionally well. I've outfitted mine with the windshield and have noticed you get a slight howl like wind over a opening when pushing 30, so that might be annoying for some. Even with out the windshield, the ventilation holes can make alot of sound at high speed, but feeling a uninterrupted stream of wind over my head while feeling significantly faster (less push per stroke noticed with in the first ride) has made any screach worth it. The only time I notice this helmet is even on is when I turn my head and feel the wind kick across its tail. Extremely comfortable, performs superbly, and looks extreamly cool, all in all I'd say it's a compleat win! And since I ordered it from the same company I got a jersey from (which gave me a 20 dollar off next purches over 75 bucks) I got this helmet for 80 dollars!

Pure and honest review (TeamUSA triathlete): This helmet is a superb helmet for triathletes. It feels very light, cut trough hard headwind like a knife and allows extremly fast transitions. I recommend equipping it with a visor.
