Comfortable and protective helmet
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- S-M
I bought this helmet a couple of months ago because I needed an upgrade on mine. I went for the Specialized Align because of its MIPS technology. I find it comfortable and it is definitely more protective than my previous helmet.

Excellent Bike Helmet

- Size Bought:
- M/L
I had to buy this helmet (in white) to replace the same model that I had for 2 years before leaving it on a train(!) It fits me well, adjusts easily, and the straps stay tight. I feel more secure because it has the MIPS technology, and the price can’t be beat. Just wish the neon green had been available, but very pleased that this helmet is still available.

Too Bulky
I ordered the blue metallic one, and the color is nice and quality appearance is what's expected for a Specialized product. Helmet may work ok for some people who don't mind the thickness and weight of it. I put it on and looked huge,, my head was like portobello mushroom. Much thicker and heavier than the Giro Foray I'm looking to replace. Maybe is the combo sizing S/M and M/L (instead of having S, M and L sizing) as I use Medium size helmets.

Works great

My wife and I both wear this helmet model. It is comfortable and the vents are pretty good for airflow. It ranks high in the IIHS/Virginia Tech ratings, especially for the price.

Design flaw ruins the helmet
I did a lot of research prior to buying this helmet and was thrilled with the safety profile and price. Unfortunately, the straps that go around your ears are not adjustable. Only the chin strap can be adjusted. For me, the strap behind the ears was far too loose (I could fit my fist underneath it). If the helmet can't be adjusted to fit properly, the safety ratings are meaningless. I had to return it and buy one 3x as expensive but with adjustable straps.
