I have a big head. The last time that I went shopping for a helmet, I

spent a lot of time trying on different models and fiddling with

straps and pads to find a comfortable fit for my noggin. So I was

pleasantly surprised that the L-XL size version of the Urge

Endur-O-Matic fit comfortably and securely right out of the box. The

helmet is a light microshell design, comes with two pairs of removable

pads to adjust for size, and has a visor that was a welcome feature as

I took the helmet on it's first extended test ride on a sunny day. The

visor can be removed, but requires a hex key to do so, and a key is

not included. I liked that the tension on the chin strap can be easily

adjusted without removing the helmet. However, the chin strap buckle

on my test helmet sat against my jaw bone, and it was a bit irritating

after two hours of riding.
