pro-tec cyphon

[menehune]

does anyone out there ride one of these lids?

i'm wondering what the general fit of the cyphon is like in comparison to giro/bell/fox helmets...

looks like a lot of protection in the hindquarters and supposedly has a 3mm hard shell.

i normally would not buy a helmet online, but am somewhat set on this one.

yeah, i've got one.
it's big and heavy.
it's hot.
i have a funny shaped oval pointy narrow pin head. normally only Bells come even close to fitting my stupid head, and then only by viture of the universal fit head harnesses can i get one to stay in place.
the pro-tec is very comfy with the super-ratchet strap. i had to go with the XL to keep it from pinchin my noggin front-back and it does tend to sit a bit low, but whateva. it feels secure when i shred the gnar.

^ i find... giro flaks sit really low in your head..

it pretty much covers all of my forehead and back of the head.. and somehow.. sizing didnt work out for me.. size large with biggest paddings.. it still slid around ALOT and went back to cove to try on medium helm with combination of different size paddings.. too small..
but instead.. picked up bell faction.. super comfy and air vent.. WORKS its coool breeze..

well i dont know much about pro tec helmets..but.. bell faction.. i would recommend... it only cost 40 bucks.

*hint* im selling one size large.
