Rode briefly this weekend

There's a minor niggle - the position of the vents in the top don't allow me to easily slide the arms of my Oakleys in securely!

There is a way but its a tiny bit fiddly on the move

So the lid loses 0.5 in the score

Now 8.5/10

I'd never have thought to take sunnies with me to test this but the lid performed well. The fitting and ability to adjust on the move is great

Did you utilise the protocol of " when oakleys are inserted into the vents of a bike helmet, the glasses must be inserted upside down " ?

That is a question on the wiggle site, and it has been reviewed as being difficult to place sunnies in the helmet.

Gave in and bought one - just because the colours match my bike, and I haven't had a new helmet since I started Tri 4 years ago :D
