In words

Intro
This multi-certified helmet features Shock Sense, which connects to an app and tells you what condition your helmet is in and can also call the emergency contacts you specify in the event of a crash. It's not super light, but it is comfortable and protective, and the fit is adjustable. It lacks the ear pads that are available with the Backland and Backland CTD.
