When I opened it, I immediately fell in love with it! It looks and even feels great, and I have already gotten multiple compliments about it, mostly saying that it looks like a stealth fighter pilot's helmet! Compared to another Large sized helmet I have (from Fly Racing), it feels a tiny tad bit tighter but nothing drastic, still a great fit for Large sized heads. Dirt seems to be very noticeable since it is black, but easily washable. The inner linings can be removed for washing, which is convenient. Overall, a helmet is a helmet in my opinion, and this one is one great helmet to own! No second thoughts or complaints about it.
