The helmet was delivered quickly in original packaging. However, I would have liked an indication of the reason for the special price. The sticker inside the helmet are there quite helpful: product of 01/2010 stands. Actually, I wanted no dead stock. An LED lamp also not gabs probably 2010 also weighs the helmet lt. Stickers 510g. The Polsterchen are paper thin - to change are not there. The closure makes a rather puny impression. Often we read on the net that bicycle helmets should be disposed every 3-5 years necessarily, because protection is no longer gewähleistet. I find it interesting, therefore, that the Fa. ABUS only holds in the manual of the helmet an exchange of the helmet after a fall for required of a general. Shelf life have I found nothing. What made me finally to keep the helmet yet: It fits perfectly and sits comfortably! That is crucial and certainly not self-evident (Anyone who has ever brought the Odyssey for a matching helmet behind him, know what I'm talking about)! In addition, the workmanship is very good and he makes a solid impression without "hard" to the touch on the head, not to mention the funny look quite :-)
Addendum: After still almost daily use real comfortable, even with the heat now good to wear and a good, safe feeling on the head. The belt hardly adjusted to tighten something I find not bad - got my wife also bought one, the new have Riemenversteller to festklipsen since moved nothing :-)
