The helmet was well made and unfortunately the lining and internal padding was minimal. Also, the rear fitting was fairly thin plastic and whilst moulded, tended to cut into the base of my skull. (Full disclosure, I have a shaved head). Overall not very comfortable to wear. My experience of this helmet prompted its return.
