Let down

By Otic9000 Ranked #178 - Helmets February 13, 2012

Thought this would be a sweet helmet, but it has a huge design flaw. The strap on the back does not secure goggles. Most helmets attach the strap band holder from the top, when prevents the band from sliding up and off of the helmet. Not the Omen. It attaches on the bottom. If you like to take your goggles of your face sometimes and have them on the front of your helmet (like when you are using the bathroom or wanting to keep from getting a raccoon tan line while riding the lift), don't get this helmet. I almost lost my googles twice on a lift due to them just popping off of the top of the helmet. Also, the dual venting is nice, but it seems to add a lot of weight to the helmet. Overall, I'm very disappointed. A significant design flaw ruined this helmet for me.
