Not the helmet for me

I purchased the hi vis helmet it's easy to see it's also well built I think it would protect your head in a crash better then most helmets out there the price is very reasonable but it's also bulky and on the heavy side

I would not buy this product again

Trek needs to review the shape and style of its helmets. I would like to see a sleeker look in a larger size helmet, in lieu of the typical mushroom shape. Very few Trek helmets are available in the XL size.

I would not buy a helmet on line.

I bought the helmet on line from Trek and had it shipped to residence. It fit well. However, it looks huge on my head. My head size is XL and white made it look even larger. It is obviously a good value for the money but the styling is way off the mark. Beware of anything on line that you cannot try...

Good price and comfort

Mixed road and rail trail riding. Replaced a Bontrager Solstice helmet. I haven't noticed any improvement in comfort or fit over the cheaper helmet. Haven't tested performance in a crash, so maybe the WaveCell is an improvement, but I personally haven't spent better cycling dollars than on my old So...

Nice technology, fit not perfect

Technology looks to be a big improvement so looking forward to not having to use it, the fit of the helmet is a bit off for my head but the technology over other helmets I hope makes up for it.

Good fit, needs more vents

I really like the fit, it's balanced and not too heavy. Could use more vents, Wavecell blocks airflow somewhat. But it's the best helmet I've tried so far.

Back to biking after a few decades, I researched bike helmets and ended up choosing this one was likely to offer excellent crash protection and be comfortable. I hope not to test the first, and can attest to the latter. It's been beastly hot recently and I was not at all conscious of this helmet add...

My first bicycle helmet

I am getting back into bike riding after many years away. I ordered a E Bike and needed a helmet. I went to Eddys in Stow and I was assisted by a nice gentleman. I explained that I have never worn a biking helmet but I have been riding motorcycles for 45 years. After asking a bunch of questions I st...

I like Big Helmets...

I have an unusually large head that limits my opportunities for a properly fitting, nifty helmet. I was attracted to this helmet because of the sizing options. Purchases because of the sizing options and am extremely happy with the proper fit, great ventilation, and the confidence of the solid prote...
