It arrived after I left for a race!
Just got the FOX Striker Helmet yesterday, haven't rode with it yet but my first impression is very good. I chose the Charcoal color because Black was 20$ more, also the gray color will go with most of my other gear, which is mainly black, grayish or Army green. It looks pretty cool, maybe the coolest I've seen, and I've been shopping for the ultimate helmet for nearly a year now; had a Walmart Bell just to get me out there. POC Trabec, Fox Flux, Uvex, 661 Recon, Azonic and Kali were close contenders. I wanted a mountain bike helmet without looking like an alien, astronaut (like another reviewer said)or a ROADIE! Got the Fox helmet liner too for colder weather, the vents on this helmet are quite large. Like I said in the title, I arrived at my first mountain bike race and my daughter texted me that the helmet just got delivered; oh well, it just would have gotten very wet and muddy the first time out.

Super Ventilated
Awesome helmet, keeps one's head cool.
Con:
Little tight on the horns on your forehead if you have a normal shaped, sort of elongated head. Definitely built for a more round head because it's a bit wide looking on the skull as well. That's the only reason it gets 4 stars.
Pros:
much more lightweight than an entry-level helmet.
perfect ventilation for hot summer riding
visor doesn't pop off due to its permanent attachment
will keep you from dying on a trail miles from help...
Also, the vent holes work perfecct for attaching a lightweight tactical light with a velcro strap or two for your rides at night.
Due to its shape I would give it a 3 1/2 if Amazon would let me.
Don't buy JUST 'cause its Fox, there are other lighter helmets.
BUT it will save your life...haha..so...
light, comfortable and looks good
I got my helmet like a weak ago because I lost my old helmet at one of the races. I like this new helmet so much. It's really comfortable and stylish. I would recommend it to all the mountain bikers.
