What a cool idea. I wasn't really expecting much at this price point, so I was pleasantly surprised. The helmet, even without the screen, is nice. I have a big melon of a head and it still fits well (maybe a little snug). It's better made than the typical Schwinn stuff you find at the big box stores and it actually looks pretty cool when you wear it. Lots of quality padding inside, which is easily removed for washing. The strap is sturdy and (yay!!!) padded for comfort.
As for the screen, it is bigger and brighter than I'd expected, though as others have mentioned, it's not super-visible in bright daylight. Works great on an overcast day, though. And as far as night use goes, it REALLY makes you more visible to others on the road. The app is easy to understand and programming the graphics is easy. It works flawlessly with the little remote and with the phone app. It's cool that you can set the helmet for auto mode; the thing automatically signals your left and right turns as soon as you start leaning into the turn. This doesn't really give drivers much advance notice, but it's something.
Honestly, I can't think of anything bad to say about this helmet. It looks great in the flat black finish, but I wouldn't mind if it came in a few colors, too. Not complaining, though. It's great. Get it before the tariffs kick in and the price shoots up by half.
