The Sweet Strutter is a very light, fashionably formed playboater's helmet, complete with a baseball-cap style curved bill. It has easy-to-fit outfitting kit locks in place with the use of Velcro, allowing the helmet to be tailored to fit.

The shell is composite-backed plastic, which means the composite is used to add stiffness and save weight, while the plastic offers durability. The liner is thin and light and is arranged into a harness inside the helmet so it offers thicker coverage all around the sides of your head. This has allowed the designers to save weight while focusing the greatest protection in the spots where you're most likely to take hits i.e. on the side. The Strutter also carries the all-important CE approval.

Inside the outer shell is an inner shell, a support for the liner, which hugs the forehead slightly below the base of the bill, and extends below the rim of the shell on the back. The back of the helmet actually cups the back of the head and locks the helmet down. With this and its reasonably secure chinstrap, this helmet is going to go nowhere even in the harshest of trashings.

Unlike the Shred Ready range of peaked helmets the design of the inner harness on the Strutter means that you cannot wear the helmet backwards.

I have been using the Strutter for the past 6 months and have been pleased with the performance. It feels light and comfortable whilst still feeling secure. The only down side is probably the price (£99) but the helmet has a quality feel and once used a few times the price tag is soon forgotton.
