I got mine in a seasonal clearance sale. The same helmet used for the next season coming up but I guess the wrong color or graffics or some other dumb-a$$ reason. But it was $25.00 instead of $60.00. And I have proven it works several times. And still no cracks or big scuffs :smilegrin:

It's amazing how much color/graphics effects pricing even for the same model helmet.... especially during the clearance cycle.

It's like the poor helmet that gets chosen last when picking teams for kickball. :sniff:

I guess Rip skews the pricing on all pink helmets :lol:

Yeah, I got my helmet pretty cheap...I don't care that it has a graffiti cityscape, it's doing a great job keeping my head intact.


But I'm definitely feeling the pink one to replace it. I figure I ride like a girl so I should pink it up, eh?
