My current comutting helmet has expired , it had a good innings was a tartan abus thing.
Saw the endura luminite for a replacement.
How ever - what does it look like inside before i head down into town to see the single shop that may or may not have one......can usually tell if im wasting my time from the retention system.

bump for the day shift.
basically looking to see if its a decent helmet - or if its a cheap helmet with a lumo in vogue paint job and a light tacked on.
- bad experiances with their early foray into glasses makes me suspicious.
I'll be interested to see what others say. I'm needing a new commuter helmet and want to be as visible as possible - this looks really nice.
I too have had bad some experiences with Endura though - glasses crap, eVent clothing not waterproof, zips breaking on jackets/overshoes etc....but also had good experiences with them...
from a few phonecalls it seems practically impossible to try one on anywhere near by.
endura have dropped the online cos that have easy to operate returns policies .....
i under stand why they have - but at least get your product into shops first.....
FWIW ive had no real issues with endura clothing - just their first Gen stingray glasses were a poor design.
Laser do a decent looking lid with a rear light too.
lazer fit nice ..... the 02 looks nice and comes in flash yellow. the neon and motion both look like they are perched on top of your head rather than your head in it....
the blade fits awesome and looks good but is only in black or white oh and the rollsys light is extra on the 02 and blade.
i want something bright yellow or green incase im ever overtaking cars that are turning right at silly speeds. I want to be sure they see me so that its their fault for not seeing me *
*tongue in cheek reference to another thread*
Just searched google, first hit I got was the following:

The green looks nice.
For that cost, I'm not expecting it to fit like my TLD or Kask - it's just for commuting. It comes in a 55-59 size is the same as my other helmets, and didn't bother trying them on before buying either....I like it.
I likethe green one also
Its just for commuting but i spend more time commuting than any other type of riding- if it doesnt fit then its no good.
Found reviews of their other current model helmets that suggest they come up narrow:( wether that means as narrow as met or not i dunno
Tried one today.
Narrow and even as tight as i could bare- failed the unstrapped tilt head test- it fell off.
Specialized eschelon wins as my new commuting helmet.
