Customer Reviews

First impressions
The helmet is going to be used in a hot climate so ventilation is very important. The large air scoopes seem to offer good air flow and you can feel the air flowing though the helmet.

The helmet fit is excellent and the retaining mechanism work very well. I think once the temps warm up a headband will have to be used to wick away the sweat as it is a very snug fit at the front.

Construction seems good, although I hope not to put it to the test, and the adjustable visor is very useful for rides around sunset.

Totally saved my head!!
This helmet is awesome! Fit is excellent if you pre-measure your head or try one on at the dealer. Nice style, coverage, and very good air-flow. I took a HUGE spill off my bike this past weekend.....a sweet superman over the bars and the first thing to hit the rocks was this helmet. I put a nice dent in the outside, cracked the helmet all the way through, but I got up and walked away with not even a headache. The helmet is finished, but my head is totally intact so I can ride another day. It did exactly what it was designed to do. Plus, if you break your helmet under normal use, Giro will kick you down 30% off of a new one. Not a bad deal when it saves your head!

Stylish, functional, affordable
I own this helmet in the sage green. It's a great helmet that has a lot of ventilation and is very light. There's really not much else to say. I bought this from a brick and mortar store, so if you're worried about how it will fit/feel you may want to visit your local bike store.
