        Many people have this helmet. It is inexpensive, looks good, and with a variety of sizes it tends to fit everyone decently

        Fit: Like all helmets, the Trace comes in many sizes. It does fit larger though, I would suggest going to a shop and trying it on. The padding inside is ample, and you can add more / take some out to perfect the fit. The chin strap is very long, so if you have a tall head and a chiseled jaw have no fear.

        The Bad News: This is a price point helmet. The shell and the eps foam are not fit together very well. My shell was completely loose and would shift around a ton, and I know this has happened to many other people. I do like helmets that have a harder shell on the outside, but this helmet would be much better if the construction was dialed in better. I could almost take the eps foam out from the shell. Also, the chinstrap clip is cheap. I lost one prong and eventually lost the other. This may have been because it was old, but the I have seen helmets with the clips made out of better plastic.

        Overall: A helmet is a helmet. If you have a strict budget, this helmet may work for you. It is always better to wear one than to not. If you do not have a price limit, I would suggest looking at a different helmet.
