OSBE X-Race Helmet

I saw a picture of an OSBE X-Race helmet is Bike magazine and liked the
design.

I know that this is a rather superficial way of choosing something to
protect your head but I have to start the selection process somewhere.

I've never heard of OSBE though; Does anyone own an OSBE helmet? What
are they like? Who sells them?

Any (positive) responses will be appreciated.

I used to sell Osbe helmets about 3 years ago. Well, I say sell, what I
mean is we had them in the catalogue. I used to sell my customers into
other helmets like Drivers instead, because the Osbe's usually came
back with warranty problems and were more trouble than they were worth.
There are far better helmets on the market for the same money.

YMMV though, so see for yourself. Personally, I wouldn't wear one even
if I wasn't working in the helmet trade.

 

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll steer clear then.
