- the fit dial is not the best and it worse than comparatively priced helmet dials by Giro, Oakley, POC, and Scott(maybe others too, but i dont have experience with them).
- the rear retention strap location makes for an extra step when putting the helmet on. I have to move the straps around to position them correctly, vs Giro, Oakley, and Scott where the rear straps just position themselves properly without me doing anything due to how they are located.
- every Kali helmet I have held(about 10 of them) in the last 2 months was made before 2015. Most were made in 2014. At what point does the company make more helmets?...it doesnt give me confidence to see 6 year old stock as smaller production runs with minor/major changes and improvements could have been done in that time.
