Tell us what the bike is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own
A women's helmet, made for general cycling (commuting, road riding). It's aimed at the general public, not high-end.
Tell us some more about the techincal aspects of the product?
It has a strap at the back which allows you to tighten the helmet once it's on, making it fit any size of head. This is an excellent feature and one that works really well. the only problem is that it isn't that easy to tighten and loosen, unlike other helmets that have a dial that you turn.

It's a bit bulky and the colours aren't that nice as they make the helmet very noticeable when a helmet should be understated (in my opinion).
Rate the product for performance:

any further comments on performance?
It works well; a bog-standard helmet, nothing particularly special about it but it is comfy to use and does the job well. again, the feature of tightening at the back is very good.
