Sizing is wrong...
I ordered the Large helmet because my boyfriend has the same exact helmet and it has the L-XL sticker on the inside. When I got the L helmet I ordered, it was HUGE! It was too big for my boyfriend's head too. I went to an actual bike store that carried these helmets and the proper size that matched my boyfriend's L-XL helmet was a Medium! I have no idea what's going on with their sizing, but definitely go to a store because their sizing is all over the place..

How do you tell the size?
Okay. So I had the same problem that you do. What is S-M-L-XL? Just what is that size?So I have a 7 3/8 head. That's what my Yankee fitted cap is that fits perfectly, so I wanted a helmet the same size.I tried XL/L. No. I tried L. No. Then I tried M - Medium. And that was a perfect 7 3/8 size.I hope this helps.This is a great helmet, and I get compliments on it all the time.

Fits like summer liner from old S/M helmets
I had one of the old non-adjustable S/M helmets from Bern from 2013. Given the current political climate in my city, I decided my head could use some updated protection these days! I was only able to wear the S/M with the thick winter liner, otherwise it was too big. This one fits me perfectly with the liner it ships with. It feels breezy and a lot more secure, too. I love the adjustment dial. Looking forward to lots of biking and sign-waving!

Bulletproof
Got doored yesterday. Smacked my head hard on the pavement after getting thrown off my bike. I didn’t see any stars, didn’t pass out, no concussion either. I’m not sure where I’d be right now if I wasn’t wearing my helmet. I’ve had this helmet for 4 years- when I needed it to take the hit of a lifetime, it stood up to the test and sustained the impact. So so so thankful.

Great helmet, but runs large for its listed sizes
This is an excellent helmet - I bought another one after my first broke (entirely my fault, not the helmet's).I just want to warn people that the sizing seems to have changed. Both of my helmets were Large, but my new one is significantly looser than the first one. I have a 61 cm head, and this helmet is rated for 59-62 cm, but I need to tighten the adjustable wheel quite a lot to get a snug fit. The first helmet, though, I had to make slightly larger by compressing the foam.All in all, this is a great product. Just know that if you're in the 59-60 cm range, you might consider a Medium instead of a Large.

Well-made, but design doesn't work for me...
I like the basic design of this helmet and the fact that it doesn't look as "dorky" as a traditional bike helmet. I wanted a visor to give my nose and face a little protection from the sun, but visor extends so far down from the front of the helmet that it restricts my forward/upward vision. Also, the weight of the front of the helmet rests squarely on my forehead where the inner padding is. This is not comfortable and I keep wanting to shift the helmet back on my head, which is impossible if it is properly adjusted. I'm therefore returning the item to Amazon.

Look cool. Be safe.
If you think bike helmets look dorky, but baseball helmets look bad@$$, then this helmet will protect your brain while looking like a gangsta. The first thing about this helmet you need to know is that it has a low brim. This is great for keeping the sun out of your eyes, but it limits your view above center. Not the best for riding at night when you need more ambient light and field of view. The low visor also gets in the way of any large MotoX goggles (to fit over glasses) so be aware of that. However, it cruising on a bike while looking cool and being safe(ish) is what you're after, then the Summer Watts helmet is hard to beat.

Great for every day riding
I like this helmet the size chart was accurate enough and this helmet is the perfect fit for my every day commute on the long board or my free ride on the weekends. it's nice to have a comfortable more casual helmet for the daily rider plus its certified so you know your getting proper helmet to keep your brain inside your nogen where it belongs.

Solid helmet
Before you even open the box you can feel this is a solid and heavy helmet, it’s very comfortable with lots of padding and makes me confident it offers plenty of plenty of protection. I got this specifically for winter riding, the lack of ventilation holes and the peak definitely keep me warm and dry even in fairly heavy rain.The only thing I would note is that this is big, I got the large one as I wanted to wear a beanie underneath to stay warm in the cold Dublin winters, even with a fairly thick beanie on I still had to tighten this up quite a bit. If you normally wear a large you might want to consider the medium for this. Aside from that, I’m really happy with this helmet and would definitely recommend it.

Great for commuting and light trail riders, superb build quality.
Helmet is noticeably beefier/chunkier/heavier than my previous helmet. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are. I was actually impressed by how cool the helmet remains even though there is limited venting and the visor is great in the rain.I have ridden with a high end Specialized mountain bike helmet, a mid range Giro mountain bike helmet and not this one as most of my riding is now firmly based on city commuting. This helmet is ideal for commuter / light weekend trail rider. The build quality is really good, half way between a normal cycle helmet and a motorcycle feel to it. I love the removable padding that uses a popper... so much more convenient and precise than the usual bits of velcro and foam that you usually need. Looks are subjective, but I like it.

Odd sizing.
Quality of the product seemed fine, but had to return as the small size was too big - small fits perfectly with their Brentwood 2.0 style, so don't know what is going on with their sizing scheme.
