The color is not burgendy. It's more like dark pink. Fits nice.

Fantastic helmet. Used for skiing. Daughter loves the fit and color. I love the color, makes her easier to spot in a sea of gray and black helmets, and the value. I also love that it can be converted to a bike helmet for summer use. The goggles holder is great but wish it was a snap as the goggles can slide off when she’s not wearing it (almost lost her goggles when she was carrying it) minor detail. Going to order same brand for me in next size up. Love the dial to fit as it increases the perfection of the fit.

I purchased two of these for my 9 and 11 year olds. Small for both. They are really comfortable and they both stated how much they like the color/style. They like how "plain" it is. The adjustment dial allows for them to wear a hat under the helmet without it being too tight. Also they should be able to wear these a few years, they are not fast growers. The goggle clip in the back is nice too, no snap to mess with and no hook to get in place. Just slide the strap down and it's in place. The overall value is great. I don't see the need to spend more on a name brand helmet that's over $100 just so it says blah blah blah. My kids aren't going to the Olympics, they just like to have fun and be safe so these are perfect!

So far this ski helmet is super comfortable and kept my head & ears warm with the comfy ear pads during my recent ski trip. It's well made, light and breathable for such a low price. To be honest though, the dome of this helmet does seem to be a bit higher in design and not streamlined. Makes my head and face look oddly shaped. This might put off some of those users that want to look fashionable at the slopes. As for me it's not a big deal so long as the helmet does its job when the time comes. Only time will tell on how long this helmet will last me but I'm confident that this helmet will save my noggin for many more ski seasons. Also, this helmet is versatile as it converts to a bike and/or skate helmet per manufacturer's stated description. I recently purchased an adult electric scooter too and I used it as my helmet during my cold morning rides. I feel much better using this as my helmet instead of a traditional bike helmet as it surrounds my whole noggin better. The best thing about this is that when the weather eventually gets warm, I can easily remove the ear padding and inner mesh net to match the weather conditions. I would highly recommend this helmet for price value and function. Aesthetics wise it's up to the user. It's not the best looking helmet in a fashionable sense.

The child had a serious snow board mishap, he sustained no head injuries. Injured his shoulder and two ribs.

Edited to add: I decided to return it. It was just not comfortable enough to wear. It’s as pictured but sizing is definitely on the smaller side. My head measured 56.5cm which should mean there’s some wiggle room, but I had to release the dial on the back all the way to get it to somewhat comfortably fit. It’s an okay price so going to wear it for the season and see if it gets better with wear. Otherwise will definitely look for a different helmet next season.
