Does anybody have any experience or info or opinion about this helmet?
It is so cheap compared to Ballista and Evade. Is it so bad or what?

I've one arriving in at my LBS on Monday.

It is interesting that they market it as a covered vent/cold weather helmet rather than an aero lid such as the course.

We've been racing with it for a while. It fits differently than the Course. A little shallower it feels like. I like the straps a lot better. It vents well and it is pretty nice. I like it a little better than the Course. Mainly because it fits better...(for me).

I have one. Best fitting helmet I've ever had - my future helmets will for sure be LG. Very well made. We haven't had any warm weather so I can't speak to that. Can't imagine the aero properties being significantly different to similar helmets from other makers.

I've got a LG Course (£160 bobbie), but after a few months I switched over to Kask, just didn't fit me right but still a great lid.
