I spent a lot of time on long rides last year (2025) and on a few my neck gave out before anything else. My helmet was too heavy for a chicken neck old lady riding more than a couple of hours. Me, being a chicken neck old lady found this out the hard way. I looked into carbon fiber helmets... really expensive for a chi... You get the idea.
This helmet provided the weight reduction I was looking for and does a great job of noise and buffering to boot. With DOT and ece ratings the protection is there. Its a mean looking helmet as well.
