Hey Ivan,
I happen to own a Bluegrass Explicit in medium (my head is 58 cm in size) as throw-around-in-the-lift-or-shuttle helmet, since my Giro is too expensive for that. Owned it for two years now.

It's a good helmet, though not exceptional. Reasonably priced, ventilation is good, but not superb. Comfort is great though. I chose it mainly because MET/Bluegrass products always fit my head very well, and this one does that perfectly.
The beak is a bit annoying, because the clever "fold-away-in-a-crash" system often folds away when you throw the helmet around. And the D-Lock is much more fiddly than the Magnet lock at my girlfriends Oneal Helmet (which is also a very good helmet btw).

I would buy a Bluegrass helmet again because of the great fit, but maybe next time I'd spend a bit more for a newer model with more advanced safety features.
