Ya I dont know, there's somethin with the construction of this helmet.

Pro's-fits great, lower profile than most with the big dome look, light weight, awesome ventilation...the obvious reasons.

For the negatives....the helmet is built in two pieces, due to the venting I believe. The top portion feels a little flimsy for my liking. Right out of the box if feels like it could almost be peeled in two! There's some play in it, almost like the two pieces aren't totally sealed which is causes this annoying squeaky sound. Feels like if my visor smacks a branch it will peel the top half right off the helmet. Its like im treating this thing fragile'y (sp?) ,afraid of breaking it.

If your rough on gear think twice.
