    CR's Take

    This moderately priced Adult urban bike helmet from Zefal is rated excellent for impact absorption, excellent for ease of use and fair for ventilation. The limited adjustment features translate to a poor rating for fit adjustment. The length of the strap for the retention system can not be adjusted. This helmet comes in 2 sizes. The weight is on the lighter side and among those we've tested is considered better. This helmet has LED lights.
