Might be getting one on crash replacement scheme, so I went down to my LBS and tried one on, its comfortable enough, but looks pretty flimsy - might just be because its so light.

Do you like yours?

Had a 2D for over 18 months. Quite light. Had a 2D before that which appeared to do the job for which it was designed.

I've broke 2 in the past 2 years - that vent at the front seems particularly weak. I have now reverted back to my old E2 which I actually think it has better ventilation, though it is noticeably heavier.

love my 2D, looks good both darkside and (light)side?!! as bought for me by my old team as a leaving prezzie so cant complain. Vents well, good peak and very light. Buy one, cant go wrong. Also Spesh helmets fit my oval head, big ears the best

I really like mine used for both road and off-road. Relatively new to Spesh helmets as I had always used Giro ones. I think at first I found the lightness a little off-putting as if you weren't really wearing anything or it wasn't planted firmly on your head - but soon overcame that.

I've had my 2D since they first came out in the UK, and is still in 1 piece. The front vent area is a bit weak and mine is slightly deformed, but its ben chucked around my car for about 2 years now and is still all good. I also have a Xen and find the 2D fit my head better as well as being noticebly lighter. Only issue I have is with the pads inside coming away from themselves.

Anyone know where to buy replacement pads for 2Ds?

I love mine, on the fourth, after a summer of repeatedly using the replacement policy (£50, bargain).

Comfy and light, and it's saved my bonce many times, what's not to like?

I had the 2D. It was nice and light, fitted me very well and deflected the ground quite nicely when I went over the bars attempting a drop-off in Spain.

Unfortunately, having done it's job it then split in half.

Bought another one though, which is still going strong - mainly because I'm scared to death of even a 2" drop-off now, and walk round them!

Love my Decibel. I regularly have little panics that i forgot to put it on, only to realise i am actually wearing it after all.
