The Schwinn Intercept is a lightweight and sturdy bike helmet for cycling enthusiasts who want advanced comfort and fit features at a more moderate price point. First and foremost, the helmet provides the custom fit you need for comfort and safety with the Dial Fit system. This system allows you to tension the helmet for an exact fit by turning a dial at the back of the helmet. This eliminates the need for the extra foam spacer cushions common to inexpensive bike helmets, which also can compress and compromise the fit over time. The Dial Fit system also makes it easy to adjust the under-chin webbing strap. Designed to keep you cool even in hot weather, the Intercept offers ten flow vents to ensure airflow and is outfitted with heat-sealed pads that help control the build-up of perspiration inside the helmet. The helmet is also equipped with an optional snap on/off visor to keep the sun off your face and out of your eyes.

It does not stay secure on her head as helmets should. Problem!Based on some of these other user reviews, it appears that…
As far as I’m concerned Schwinn has done an outstanding job making a terrific quality helmet at a budget price I have owned the Schwinn Intercept helmet about two years.While riding my road bike home on Tuesday, a rock kicked up above my front tire and jammed into my fork. I was powering up a small hill and got thrown over the handlebars, head first into the pavement. My left shoulder and left side back also struck the pavement, after my head. When my helmet hit the ground, it actually took a gouge of pavement out of the road. My head had a few superficial scratches, under the area where my helmet…
