I got my first Shred Ready helmet in 2009. For me, they fit well, are lightweight, and comfortable. I’ve also taken some hard hits with them. I’ve gone down slides on my head. I’ve hit concrete in man made features while playboating. These helmets have taken a lot of hits for me. Most recently I had my least stylish line ever down Sky Scraper on South Silver Creek. I came in with poorly chosen angle at the top and things quickly went down hill, both literally and figuratively. If you watch closely you will see the moment when my head makes contact with the granite.
