This is my second LAS Victory Helmet, still my favorite! I ordered the Blue this time, already own one in Arctic Blue (like photo for review) which I ablsolutely love. Super light weight, excellent ventilation and easiest helmet to adjust EVER.
When searching for my first LAS I did find inconsistencies with regard to liners. LAS helemts are supposed to have 2 liners: Black w/bug net for year round wear and Red CoolMax for summer. My old LAS only had the bug liner one, but I was able to get the summer liner from alocal bike shop owner. My new helmet came with one liner in black which lacks the bug net. No biggie since I have the liners already. First helmet saved my noggin from damage during a nasty crash. Helmet did it's job perfecty- stayed in place, no movement at all, and only has minor dimpling on impact side. Wasn't till I took liner out to inspect that I found the crack. That helmet has kept me safe and comfortable through temprature extremes from 28F to 105F. Liners can be removed and washed, or wetted for additional cooling on HOT rides. Cat Eye Adjustment System is as simple as a turn or two to tighten or loosen and can be adjusted on the fly while riding. I use the center brace on Cat Eye to hold my Flea rear blinking light, fits perfectly!
I used to wear Specialized, but as long as I can get STP prices I will be sporting LAS helmets form now on. Absolutely the best helmets!
