"Had this helmet for some time and found the fit and comfort very good.
Fell off my bike this week and the helmet took the full force of the inpact. Will have to buy a new one but it saved me.

"Great helmet which is easy to fit the only issue is that there is a small part of the inner mould that pushes against the top/back of my head and I can't help but worry that with a very hard impact that's where my head will crack. Maybe just me but feels like a minor design flaw."

Pros: comfy and a good fit
Cons: none
"Got this helmet yesterday, got home and was out riding in 5mins after sorting out the fit.
Forgot i was wearing it after a couple of minutes riding, did approx 20 miles in it and its a joy to wear plenty of vents to keep you cool as its was really hot yesterday and the sun visor worked well. overall a good product.

Pros: so light
"A well made helmet with removable visor that is so light that you forget it is there! I have had it for 6 months now to get a feel for it and I removed the visor. As it is light it is comfy.
- I wish I had tested more helmets in the price range before I bought it as it does not perfectly fit the shape of my head, but it is still very secure. So I advise many fittings before buying! My next choice for me would be a skater-style helmet as it would suit my head shape better.

Pros: visor, stylish, leightweight
Cons: chinstraps have to be twisted
"This helmet is comfortable to wear and looks great compared with quite a few others on the market. It is at the perfect price for someone who uses the bike for a commute (approx 3 miles).
I've not had to test it out coming off the bike and hopefully I never will, but this helmet is light weight and after a short while you forget you are even wearing one.
The inclusion of the visor is great for keeping sun and driving rain out of your eyes too!
Only lost one star as the chin strap has to be twisted and can be a little uncomfortable for a while this goes on longer rides but is noticeable everytime I start off."

Pros: plain colour easy to change size
Cons: none so far!
"I like the colour of this helmet because it is plain and black. It seems sturdy and of good quality, and is fairly easy to alter the size with a wheel on the back of the helmet.
The air vents means your head does not really get sweaty, even when it's hot."

"I had a Bell helmet before and was happy to see the new range have proper anchor points regarding the straps. I decided to go for the Venture instead as it's around the same price and has some better features - nice and light, has web/mesh in the front holes to catch the flies(!), and generally look good. Fits nice as well."

Pros: lightweight, comfortable
"Not having cycled for nearly 30 years this is my first experience wearing a helmet. This one is lightweight, well-made, and comfortable. The only downside is that the instructions for getting the straps right were a little confusing, but in fairness I may have been a dim on that front!"

Pros: lightweight, perfect fit, looks good
Cons: straps are a little uncomfortable
"I have been cycling for around a year now and after a trip to Afan forest was arranged I decided that I should buy a helmet.
I've never worn one previously but this helmet is very comfortable (with some adjustment) and lightweight. After 5 mins you forget your wearning it.
The vents are brillient at keeping your head cool and the helmet looks good as well.
I was concerned that I would look like a right plank but it is very stream lined and the visor works great too
Hope this helps"
