'STOPS DENTS IN MY HEAD!'
Strengths:
Light Weight. Cheap
Weaknesses:
Sits high. Doesn't quite look as pleasing as say the BD Halfdome
Overall:
Does the job, has saved my head from many rocks and a few free falling hexcentrics!!

'Vain folk can wear helmets too'
Strengths:
Very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Seems fairly robust.
Weaknesses:
May not offer the full protection of a conventional helmet.
Overall:
Initial quite sceptical of the new lightweights breeds but been converted. Wouldn't use it for full mountain use/winter but as a summer cragging lid seems perfect. If, like me, you have a wee head(and a vain streak)then you should consider this. Sits low on the head so less chance of clattering it on overhangs, sticky out bits, etc. Interestingly found that my head stays cooler than when wearing a conventional cradle type lid.

'LIGHTWEIGHT AND CHEAP.'
Strengths:
Very lightweight in comparison to other helmets out there, but at what cost? Good adjustability (if thats word). Clips work well with headtorch. Low price.
Weaknesses:
Not entirely sure how strong this helmet is!
Overall:
Nicely designed lightweight helmet at a good price.
