Stylish, practical, but...

Sure, it looks great, and because you can remove the ear pads and liner, I thought I could turn it into a summer climbing helmets. Don't make the same mistake! There is no hard shell on the outside: the lightweight comes from a shock-absorbing foam which will protect you. So the plastic outer layer (only for decoration?) ends up very fragile and bears the scars of every scratch you’ve had.
Other problem: do not remove and replace the inside cushions and other stuff too often, because it apparently wasn't meant for that (eventually you can't put all the pieces back together again).
