Do you dig the look of a Star Wars Stormtrooper cadet out on their first parade?

For that sort of ££ you aren't dragging me away from the excellent (although I apppreciate not everyone likes them) Fox Speedframe RS. Top rated for safety, looks far nicer (IMO) and can be found for less money, albeit the RRP is £234

Something about the styling is giving conehead vibes in the front view

Does it have the removable accessory mount thing? That was great for night riding with an exposure light, and I sorely miss it on my latest (first non Montaro for a while) helmet. Can't see to find something similar on modern helmets.

Looks like a great helmet and appears to have all the necessary features, but why do all otherwise good helmets these days have to come with those awful high peaks on them? It puts me off buying so many otherwise decent helmets, and trying to find a nice quality, and probably quite expensive (to me) helmet with with a low peak is getting increasingly difficult.

Agreed. Cycling home on my MTB today into the setting sun and the sensibly positioned peak on my current Giro helmet is the only reason I could see where I was going!
