Have the helmet now about 4 years. From the optics, I find it horrible, but it is very light and comfortable, and the wheel to adjust is great! The nylon straps hold still, however, the plastic inserts from slipping happy times, which is why he never 100% fully seated. I consider this but for signs of wear, as he had in the early years never (I ride on average 1x a week). In these 4 years I have often fallen, sometimes on a patch, sometimes in the sand, or against a wooden fence, and the helmet had always kept super. However, nice and slow now makes the plastic casing, which is why I am considering replacing him. He is responsible for the occasional rider recommended, and also for those who are often falling off his horse, while I was the helmet well protected.
