Retrospec Remi Adult Bike Helmet for Men & Women - Bicycle Helmet for Commuting, Road Biking, Skating with Adjustable Dial

Good fit high quality

written size is wrong. too small on whats written on fit guide

I bought this to ride my Honda Navi, I hate wearing a helmet, but I do. I hit some sand while going slow and took a digger. This helmet took the hit like a champ. Had I not been wearing a helmet, it would have been a totally different story. 5 stars!

Very sturdy and doesn’t make me look stupid. That means that I’m more likely to wear it!

I was worried it wouldn't arrive as described but it looks great and it's comfortable. No complaints.

This is just about perfect. Almost. I originally purchased the adult small. Which is far too large, for my 20.5 inch head. The black helmet pictured is the Retrospect youth/child’s helmet. I was seriously looking for a brighter more safety conscious color. Small is still too large. Those are. My “cons” up front. The colors available are dull, and “un-noticeable”, I feel helmet manufacturers need to provide some serious bright colors for those of us who want them. Upon receiving this helmet I promptly removed the ghastly plastic adjustment device. Which is held in place by four snaps. I originally bought the adult version of this helmet, because it is a stripped down, awesome helmet, throwback style from the 80’s. Perfect, no added newfangled adjusters, lights or magnetic buckles. It took a LONG time to find such a beauty. But, find it I did! I DO NOT RECOMMEND doing what I did, by stripping the adjustment device from this helmet, but in my case it was the right thing to do. This is not recommended by the manufacturer of this helmet. I’m 69 years old, and love to have fun, and stay safe while doing so. Why did I choose this helmet? Read on. After all is said and done, in spite of the fact the colors offered, do not include safety colors, this had everything else I wanted in a helmet. I have a very small head, small is too big. This is a very well constructed, sturdy nice looking helmet. I love the retro look. I wanted a helmet similar to what I used to own in the 70’s when I rode my Honda’s. I’m not fond of the frills, lights that require batteries or charging, nor was I looking for some clunky twist knob, required to make it fit. The knob takes up helmet space that could be covering your head. I love the straps. They are sharp looking and appropriately placed. High quality webbing is used, that is very comfy. I love how this covers more of my head than all the previous bike helmets I have owned. But the last helmet I bought was 29 years ago. I decided new was the way to go. Other helmets seem to sit high over the ears, & the back of the head is sorely exposed, many do not offer enough coverage for the sides of your head, this is the best I could find in the price range I was looking for, short of buying a genuine motorcycle helmet. The coverage seems above average, and one of the main reasons for purchasing this helmet. Now I feel much Don’t be fooled by the name brand “Thousand”. They are very similar in looks, but this helmet lacks a helmet lock hole, which is another hole I can do without, less is more in my book.. Retrospect lacks the “replacement if you get in an accident”, that Thousand offers. The straps on Retrospect aren’t like the fixed in place straps of the Thousand, Retrospect got it right on this point, the straps are fully flexible. There are less vent holes, in Retrospect, but in my opinion that may be a plus. I don’t feel as safe in a helmet full of holes, (Holes weaken a structure.) yet another reason I went with this retro look, less holes. All in all, I feel I made a good purchase. I watched Amazon change the price point several times, finally I just hit “buy”, rather than holding my breath waiting for the price to drop. But this was a very good price point for this helmet. Some things that one might take into consideration before purchasing, are the fact that this helmet doesn’t have an adjuster to make a helmet fit, that doesn’t fit, (I certainly don’t want my helmet held on by a thin plastic piece that can shatter in an accident, but there are those who really like this sort of thing. It doesn’t have lights, am magnetic buckle, or a helmet lock hole. So if you are like me, and believe less is more, you found your helmet. It’s the best I could get for the amount I could spend, it’s not my first choice. It gets four stars because of the sturdiness. Very sturdy. The design, looks, & strap design are fantastic. It’s lacking a star because of color choices, sizing, and warranty. It also has a “State of California cancer warning”. I hope my review will help someone make an informed decision.

Gift for my best friend and she loved it. Super cute!
