2018 Tactic III

I live in an area with a lot of great XC trails, some of which are pretty gnarly, but only a few flowy, sendy, 1-way downhill runs. I had a Tactic II for a while -- until the plastic line on one side of the adjustable fit dial snapped. I'm not sure how it happened, but it wasn't a crash. Anyway, I was going to try a different helmet so I shopped around some LBS, but none fit my Big Head as well as that old Tactic II. So, I decided to give the Tactic III a try. It fits smaller, but adequately. I'm on the sixth and final height position of the adjustable fit system, and it feels good with my Pearl Izumi skull cap underneath, but when I had the Tactic II, I used an intermediate position. Those with VERY large craniums should look elsewhere. Also, I preferred the matte white (with black buckles) of the Tactic II, but the gloss white (which fades to grey in the back) of the Tactic III is okay, I guess. The helmet has a quality feel and good ventilation for the $$$. I hope it lasts a while, like the Tactic II did.

Eher für eine schmale kopfform geeignet. Nachteil: Aus der Kunststoff schale ragt der styropor hervor. Der überstehende Styropor bricht leicht schon bei geringer Belastung ab.

This is my second bike helmet that I've owned. I originally was looking at the Tatic II, until I found the Tatic III. The fit is absolutely perfect and is extremely comfortable with great ventilation. I like the padding and the strap system is excellent. This helmet is much better than my previous helmet that cost more. I spent about 25+ minutes trying this on at the store before I purchased it. I ride almost everyday and after having the Tatic III a week it is a winner.
