Just because it has a DOT sticker doesn't mean it's a quality helmet
Its ideal for sitting in a shelter and reading, eating, or writing in the trail log when its just too cold to get out of your bag (if you ever take a shelter zero due to rain or snow, this is the bag to have)
helmets need 4 different sized shells, this current trend in downsizing sucks for people with bigger heads Kenny 8 months, 2 weeks ago I didn't actually see this helmet on their website yet, but most of the other models have an XL (64cm) option
It is very suitable for short trips
Score: Ill give the CS-R1 a Very Good rating for graphics and design and for overall quality and a Good for paint
