    As a road and light trail cyclist, I generally the felt standard bike helmets gave me the protection I needed. It’s not often that I fell or road so crazy that I considering needing more. However, when purchased a fat bike to cure the winter blues and started riding on more technical trails that often had snow, ice, and trees tight on trails. After threading the needle between two trees enough times- where you are between between small two climbs and there is ice at the trough- it became apparent how easy it would be to lose traction and face plant into a tree trunk.

    This helmet has been great.

    Pros:

    It fits my large head almost perfectly. Most of the time even the XL is too small for me. This is snug but over bearing.

    It looks cool. Some people can pull off the cycling helmet look. I cannot. I look like a major dweeb.

    It’s warm. I was surprised that riding in 7 degree weather here how much warmer it made my entire body. I can wear fewer layers and thus don’t overheat, and I now longer feel the need to wear a face mask for windburn, ear muffs, or anything else on my head.

    Ski googles fit over it perfectly around the outside of the helmet and on your face for those snowy days. Accommodates sunglasses nice also.

    It’s almost like a motor cycle helmet in terms of the level of protection it adds. Not quite as much over kill, but you feel like your face and head are very well protected.

    It looks like the liner comes out for cleaning, since you will sweat a bit with it on.

    The price was very reasonable. I have close to this and more for most of my bike helmets that aren’t nearly as durable or near the quality of this.

    Cons:

    The only con I can come up with so far is that it might feel oppressively hot in the warmer months. It does have some vents, I haven’t bothered to see if they are adjustable. And maybe you can remove some of the padding in liner also? I haven’t played around with it much because it’s out of the box it’s doing what I wanted for my purposes and much more.

    After years of not owning a bicycle, I got an E-bike a couple of weeks ago. I of course rode bikes as a child, and rode BMX stunt bikes as a teen transitioning to a young man. Like many young men, I didn’t wear a helmet. One day, while a friend and I were slowly coasting around chatting on our BMX bikes, when my friend ran over a twig which wrenched the bike’s front wheel to the side, making my friend lose his balance.

    He fell right beside a sidewalk, cracking his head right on it’s edge…. He got a nasty concussion, a badly scraped shoulder, and a weird lump on his neck from the impact, which needed surgery to be removed. My parents took me to a bike shop where I picked out a skate style helmet, and I wore it every time I threw a leg over a bike. Once I stopped riding BMX, I sold that bike and bought a mountain bike. I bought a standard bicycle helmet and hated that thing. I just don’t care for the way such helmets fit on the head.

    I’ve been street motorcycling for about five years now, and of course wear a helmet, full face with visor. I’ve really grown to like the coverage that full face helmets give, so when I ordered my E-bike, I thought I’d try a full face bike helmet! I nearly bought a competitively priced helmet from Bell, but the reviews of folks here that have had to “use” this helmet in impacts is what made me choose this helmet.

    I’m happy to say that I haven’t had to “use” my helmet that way and hope I never have to! So my thoughts are based on fitment, wear and weight.

    Fitment: One reviewer remarked that Demon uses a sizing system like HJC helmets. I don’t know if I agree with them. I have an HJC street motorcycle helmet, which is X-Large and fits my head snugly.

    I ordered this helmet in X-Large and it’s a little loose. That being said, with this helmet’s chin strap clicked in place and properly set, I can’t pull this helmet off my head. So the fitment is acceptable to me, and I worry that a Large size wouldn’t even fit me. I’ve gone on a couple of rides that lasted a couple of hours and despite my sweaty head, the padding doesn’t collapse, so the fitment of this helmet is also consistent.

    Wear: As mentioned, even on longer rides, this helmet’s fitment stays consistent. The padding doesn’t collapse or balloon up, so the helmet doesn’t fit looser or tighter on my head. I hope this doesn’t change, but if it does, I’ll update this review.

    Weight: WOW. This helmet is soooo lightweight! It’s not only much lighter than my street motorcycle helmets, but it’s even lighter than my old full face helmet that I used to wear when riding ATV’s! I’m so grateful for this when I get home from a ride and pull this helmet off, only to feel slight relief from the removal of weight as compared to great relief when I pull my street motorcycle helmet off.

    Finally, this helmet has helped me repurpose a piece of equipment. I just ride my bike on the roadsides, but may try trails one day. I’d received a chance to review a Bluetooth helmet speaker set early this year, and wasn’t a fan. The set was a clean install to my Shoei motorcycle helmet, but I wear earplugs when I ride my motorcycle, so having the speakers was kind of pointless.

    While it wasn’t as clean of an installation to this helmet since it doesn’t have dedicated pockets in the padding for speakers, I was able to install the speaker system into this helmet, and it’s great!! I can hear my music, AND still listen for traffic and other environmental noises as I ride my E-bike! It’s a much more stable set up than using a standard bicycle helmet (a friend at work insisted on giving me one of his extras) and actually cleaner since this helmet blocks out some wind noise.

    So I’m overall quite satisfied with this helmet, and I’m always happier when a purchase lets me repurpose other gear that’s fallen out of use. If I begin bicycling frequently and/or hitting the trails, I do see myself pursuing another full face helmet, one that fits my head better. But for the riding I do now, it’s fine and while I again hope I never have to find out, I’d feel confident with this helmet holding up in a crash.

    Haven’t tried falling on my head with it on yet but the fit is perfect, size is accurate, and it looks dope. I can even fit a scarf underneath it which is nice for the winter. Overall, I recommend it. Will update this review when I fall.

    Reviewing right after receiving and trying on at home. I fit an L or XL typically with a more oval and elongated head. XL fits comfortably and with eyeglasses to boot. Visor flips up and down. My only concern is protection. There isn’t much soft foam at all between my head and the hard polystyrene layer. The soft foam is mainly in areas to create a tighter fit. I’m not sure if this helmet is much more protective overall than a basic half shell helmet. That being said, modern helmets are designed to break on a hard impact which itself reduces the force to your head. I’ll be trying this out riding dirt bikes conservatively with kids and this should be more comfortable than my Snell rated street helmet. This helmet doesn’t advertise any certifications. It is nice and light though. I don’t think the liner is removable so just hand wash it. I’ll try to remember to update this review after a crash or two.

    Easy to wear, looks dope, no problems yet. I haven’t really crashed and smashed my head yet so who knows but it seems tough. Totally protected me when I head butted the wall as a durability test

    For years I’ve been using the traditional “half helmet” bicycle helmets. Never found one that fit my long-oval head properly or had enough padding in the right places. I wanted to upgrade to the extra protection of a full-face helmet anyway (after wrecking my eBike last year) and this one seemed OK and the price was right. Wore it (got the XL) for the first time this morning on my 30 minute eBike commute to the office. The helmet was so comfortable and lightweight and fit my head perfectly. Very happy with my purchase!
