My son has just got one of these after months of searching ebay etc. Don't think you'll find a better one for the money.

The Comp is a decent helmet it's ideal if you're not used to wearing a full face. The fit is very much like a trail helmet it's light with basic padding, a large aperture and a chinpiece that's not intrusive. It's not like what you might call a proppa full face that fits more like a motorbike helmet. The padding isn't removable.

In terms of fit, with the chinstrap fastened your face should move as you turn the helmet from side-to-side. Also it should not be possible to remove the helmet by pulling it over your head from the back.

Its heavy and lining isn't great but its ok.
It's only any good if it fits.

Going to try one on at my lbs to see what size I need then get it from CRC I think, unless there's any others at a similar price?

Have a look for a discounted Urge Down o Matic. They are very light, nicely lined and well designed. Im on my third one and I always find great discounts on them.
If they fit you they are really excellent.

I went around several shops with my son first, we tried Urge, 661, Fox and Troy Lee all for size and fit. I think it's important to try the one you want on first.

Fox Europe are based in Gateshead and are not averse to sending out helmets on a sale or return basis.

Have a word with your lbs see if there's anything they can do. Mine got a couple of Rampages in for me to try and price matched CRC
