Opinions on Bauer/Nike 4500 helmet?

[Fletch 219]

I did a search but couldn't find much. Anyone here have it and have any pros/cons? I currently use a 4000, which looks to me to basically be the same thing but my 4000 has some cracks so I want to upgrade.

Any opinions would be great, thanks!

If you like your 4000 then you'll like the 4500 because its basically the same thing other than the added nike swoosh. For the record I love mine. I upgraded from a piece of crap tour helmet.

It is basically the same helmet but with some slight changes that SHOULD (I hope) prevent cracking around the screw areas.

Yeah, I noticed how near the ears the plastic is reinforced a bit. I wonder if anyone's had any cracks yet.

Mine is crack free so far. I haven't had it a really long time, I got it in early July.
