Amazing! I love this helmet. It's really tough, has barely rusted on me in a year and is very protective. With adding padding to the top it becomes that much better. Not 5 stars due to the strapping but the webbing on this new one seems better than the one on mine. Very happy customer.

P.S. Adding feathers is a great touch!
