A fellow over on PB summed this one up nicely:

The only problem with this helmet will be trying to see through the small holes in the paper bag your friend make u wear over ur head

I really only like the Bell version of the enduro…. actually I don't mind the POC either. Troy lee and this are too much.

I like it. Helmets need not to look like everyone else's.

I still like the bell super the most. scott's "endure" helmet for 14 looks cool and has mips . i'd find it hard to pay $220 for a smith helmet that wasn't full face. wish my d3 had MIPS

I've been running the Bell Super all summer and give it two thumbs up. I tried on a few different options before going for it, and it was really the ventilation that sold me on it.

The Troy Lee A1 was a bit more comfortable, but it just seemed too warm during my in-store test, and also a bit ridiculous looking.

It's great to see new and innovative products coming on the market, the more options the better imo. This one's just not for me…
