Received my Specialized Tactic 4 Helmet inside of a week and of course put it on straight away. Extremely light & so comfortable. I am an older suburban MTB rider in extreme humidity Missouri, yet this helmet feels much cooler than my last couple. I highly recommend!

Very comfortable helmet. I bought it because it had the highest ranking from Virginia Tech’s testing and pleasantly surprised on how good it felt as well.

The Tactic is a great helmet and has received excellent safety ratings. It goes down lower in the back than my previous helmet, increasing protection. The look is stylish, and it feels great on the head. There is just one thing to carefully consider before buying: Size I currently have 3 total of these because I had trouble getting the right size. I read a review on here that claimed "if you are usually an M, buy an L here". I cannot understand where this person comes from. I am usually an M and ordered an L - it is way too large. If you are usually an M, buy an M. If your head measures 58 cm, buy an M. That review claiming that the Tactic helmets run small should be removed. It is highly misleading. It runs exactly like it says. In my specific case: Giro size M is equal to Specialized size M. M=M, it is not that hard. L is very large.

I own 2 Tactic helmets, in different colours. They are so light and comfortable, the fit for me is superb. They offer brilliant protection and are worth every penny!

My bike is at the shop for the third time trying to keep my chain on. When shifting up, the chain will come off the front sprocket. Other than that, the bike has been great. Hopefully the shop can get the problem fixed or replaced needed parts. I’m new to biking and my first bike but I feel certain it will be fixed.

Made 3 purchases before finally getting the right one. I usually use a small helmet but the shape of these was too tight so I tried the small with round fit. Fit was better but felt a little tight so I went with the medium regular fit and that worked but just a bit loose but I can live with it.

This like all Specialized products is well designed, light and clean. I love it.

Loved the round fit of the helmet. However, the straps that can't be adjusted is really weird and didn't work well for me. The strap that should be behind my ear was loose and flopped around and was super annoying so I had to unfortunately return the helmet. If the straps had been adjustable, it would have been the perfect helmet for me.

The sizing is much too broad in range. My measurement sits at the largest size for a medium helmet, and the smallest size for a large. Tried the medium and it was too snug on the sides. Tried the large and it had to be clamped down almost forcefully at its smallest point, but the helmet just looked huge and almost cumbersome. Ended up ordering from the US to get the medium 'round' fit and it's pretty much exact. I reckon a larger range with overlapping measurements would be a great option.

just right!
