Schwinn Adult Thrasher Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm glad I bought this helmet! The only reviews I could find about it were the one here at two at Kmart.com, so I didn't have a lot to go on.However, the big selling points were the LED light on the back of the helmet and also how cheap it is.It's the first helmet I ever remember buying, so I can't really review it in comparison to others, but I can tell you what I like about it.

Pros:
1) The LED light on the back.It's great!You press it once to turn it on to flash mode; press a second time and it stays on lit continuously; press it a third time to turn it off.It runs on two small batteries (they look similar to watch batteries) and they're easy to change.I have fingernails so it makes prying off the light cover quite simple, but I could imagine it wouldn't be too hard to do with a toothpick, etc. if you don't have nails.Also, I was messing around quite a bit with the helmet when I first got it and never accidentally turned the light on, so wasting the batteries on accident shouldn't be an issue at all.

2) Adjustable fit - this helmet uses a twist knob on the back (actually it's the same thing the light is mounted on) to size the helmet up or down.Just put the helmet on your head, push down snug, and then turn the knob until it fits securely and doesn't move.It's super easy to adjust with just one hand.

3) The colors - the helmet clearly doesn't look like like it cost $200, but it also doesn't look cheap.It's made of a very nice silver and black that would probably match a lot of bikes very nicely.

4) The straps - there are these little strap holders that you can move up and down to shift the size of the "Y" strap that goes over your ear.That way, you can make sure the straps meet right below your ear (like they're supposed to) regardless of the size of your head or the placement of your ears.Also, the straps lay flat against your face without twisting so they are pretty comfortable.

5) The air vents - My head actually stays cool in the helmet and does get a good amount of air flow to it.The one place that gets really hot and sticky is my forehead, but I guess that is unavoidable.My hair didn't even look bad after biking around in the helmet for an hour and wasn't any sweatier, etc. than without one.

****

Cons:
1) Forehead fit - I have to say that I don't love how the helmet feels on my forehead, but I'm also pretty sure that most other helmets would feel exactly the same way. I just dislike having something pressed up against that part of my face, restricting air flow and pushing on my head.But the only way to avoid that is to not wear a helmet.

2) The "manual" - I guess I shouldn't complain; at least it does come with instructions, but they are pretty basic and applicable to a lot of helmets rather than looking like they were tailored for this particular helmet.Additionally, there is absolutely no information about the LED light (though I guess it's not all that hard to figure it out on your own).

****

Finally, for those of you who care, the helmet has a pretty sleek design instead of a rounder look.The visor on front snaps on and off, depending on whether you want to wear it or not; it's not moveable, however - you can only choose to have it on or off.

All in all, I highly recommend this helmet for anybody looking for something great but cheap.
