MET Rivale Road Bike Helmet

Very good helmet, works and does the job.

A really modern stylish looking helmet. Fits the bill for both racing around and simply riding your bike. Fits well but shame I'm in-between sizes and had to go larger leading to a bigger helmet than what I would have liked. The medium fit perfectly in its own but didn't leave room for a skull cap which I need in winter. Nonetheless it's very comfortable and fits well. Easy to adjust straps. Would recommend

Pros & Cons

Nice light weight helmet with good adjustment but slightly disappointingly thin straps hence an 8 & not a 10.

Pros & Cons

I bought this as a replacement to my old lazer o2 helmet. The fit on this is great, nice and slim to your head, no oversized mushroom effect. When out riding its noticeably quieter than my previous helmet, not sure if that's the aero effect but it's a welcome improvement. Doesn't feel like it's any warmer for having less ventilation, the only thing I noticed was that it's a little less vented right at the front of my brow which was slightly odd at first as the previous helmet was very open there, but it doesn't seem to cause overheating even in the 30°+ heat recently. The finishing seems pretty smart with no scruffy edges etc.

Pros & Cons

This helmet was the first helmet I've owned that isn't a tight fit. I have had four previous helmets all sized large including different Met model but none are as comfortable as the Rivale. The combination of the excellent adjustment system & the reduced weight just suit me perfectly.
