simple light and adjustable. Good ventilation. Wear a helmet, the time will come when you need it! Mine has kept a few hundred pounds of ice (not all at one time) and a few flying rocks away from my head, and still going strong.
Bad Features

Super light and very comfortable, not to mention it protects your melon quite nicely.
Bad Features
It's a little moody getting the fit dialed in just right, but once you've got it set, it fits great. |
