OutdoorMaster Gem Recreational MIPS Cycling Helmet - Two Removable Liners & Ventilation in Multi-Environment - Bike Helmet in Mountain, Motorway for Youth & Adult

Overall, a wonderful helmet for a great price!Product came we’ll packaged and in great condition. The helmet arrives bubble wrapped in a cloth storage bag with the accessories, including some extra velcro stickers that can be used as attachment points for the liner if the ones inside the helmet wear out.The chin strap adjustability is good, but took a bit to figure out. Additionally the chin strap has with padding around it, which is a small but nice feature. Morever the adustable turn knob on the back works as expected.The helmet is comfortable to wear and has great safety features. It has a great rating by Virginia Tech Helmet rating, an independent helmet rating laboratory.I haven’t worn the helmet on bike ride yet, but from test fitting it I can tell that it’s very light and comfortable so I expect it to be nice on bike rides.

I am a recreational bike-rider, 20 to 25 mile rides on the weekends. I do not need a high end, name brand helmet from a bike shop. On the other hand I understand the importance of wearing a good helmet for protection, and as an engineer, I technically understand the importance of the shock absorption testing and certification which is what the MIPS is all about. I compared three helmets that claimed MIPS design: The Outdoor Master Gem, a Giro, and a Smith. All about the same price range between $40 to $65. The Outdoor Master was a clear winner for me.Pros:The internal foam absorption padding and the adjustment knob on the back of the helmet seem to be about the same in all three helmets that I compared. The differentiators were in the design and material quality of the internal webbing, adjustability, and chin strap, and also in the "look" of the helmet. The internal webbing and the chin strap in the Outdoor Master were clearly made of thicker material. The Outdoor Master came with two different sizes for the internal webbing which is easily attached to the internal helmet surface. The chin strap was also thicker and sturdier in this helmet, and it had a soft comfort cushion wrapped around the part of the strap that fits under the chin--a very nice addition which the others did not have. The external knob allows easy adjustment of the snugness of the webbing around your head--it is important to note that the webbing allows some designed movement between your head and the helmet, which is part of the designed protection (at least I think it is). The helmet has a removable visor which I think is essential. Finally, this helmet has a sleeker aerodynamic look to it compared to the more spherical look of the other helmets which I didn't care for.Cons:I haven't found any negatives yet, but I have only taken this helmet out for a couple of rides.Overall, very satisfied with the helmet which was packaged very well, with its own string bag, and extra webbing. I think it is an excellent value. Certainly I think any of these helmets in this price range with the MIPS certification are going to be more than good enough for the recreational rider, but I found distinct differences in the materials and in the look, glad I did some comparisons (that's where the free returns comes in real handy.)

Very good build quality, comfortable, love the satin finish. Fits very well, and doesn’t look as wide as other MIPS designs. Bought 3 more for the family!

Good protection. Comfortable. Easily adjustable. Good weight and durable.

I tried both the large and small size and found the smaller one a better fit even though they provide two thicknesses of liners. The helmet is light and comfortable and easy to adjust. It's a very good value. I do wish it were a little deeper for side impact protection and to fit when I wear a hat, but it's not major.

I like the way this helmet fits. It is very light and has ventilation. The color is nice too!

Great fit, comfortable. Easy to ajust

My son wanted a helmet that aside for good protection had a mesh that doesn’t let the hair thru the holes. This is one is perfect ! Good product and good price! Loved the green one .
