My Bell Gage helmet was going on 9 years old and I have been lusting after a MET Trenta helmet. It was not available with CPSC approval. Finally after waiting for over a year it became available. It was $300 and I did not even think twice about it. If it lasts 10 years that will be $30 a year. It is not an aero helmet but more aero than my old Gage. It fits better and I love the way it looks and is probably safer. Bought one for my wife too and she also likes it.
