Love this helmet. Upgraded from a Giro Synthe that I really liked. This helmet looks much better. It's quieter than the Synthe and is cooler. Only complaint, because it sits lower it sometimes 'clicks' off my sunglasses when hitting a bump if the helmet is looser on my head. Not a big deal, might just be my glasses. Would I buy again? 100% yes.

Updated my helmet from the previous spherical MIPS helmet by Giro, the Aether. Not only is this helmet more compact, but the padding and shape add to the comfort and looks. Really glad I pulled the trigger on this one when I did.

Over all I am very happy with the helmet, but I am disappointed a stainless bolt wasn't used for the back-strap adjuster; mine is rusting and has stained the area around it.

The Giro Aries is the best ventilated, most comfortable and lightest helmet I have ever owned/worn. Summer weather in Florida is oppressively hot and humid and I try to ride 12-1/2 miles 5 or 6 days a week. The Aries has a sweat dam which is 100% effective at keeping sweat out of my eyes even though my jerseys are typically saturated and dripping by the end of my ride. I love this helmet!

The recent BTD sales have made this more attractive, so I bought a second one for my wife. Thankfully, I have not personally had to put this to the test, but professional testing suggests it is now the best option. The fit seems much more natural than my Bontrager Wavecel helmets.

Giro helmets are my go to as they are perfect fit. I have tried others like Lazer but always end up coming back to Giro. The Aries is compact with the highest level of protection, perfect road cycling and racing.

Been wearing Giro helmets for over 25 years. Have bought a Bell and Specialized along the way for spares, but Giro's fit me the best. True to size the Aries Spherical is the most comfortable yet. Well worth the money for fit and safety and still lightweight.

I buy a new helmet every few years. Road focused, 8K miles a year. This one seems like the best I've owned: safety, aero, cooling, good looks.
Review by BillV
This is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn. It is light and fits very well. The venting doesn't seem any better than other helmets I have worn, but it just fits right and was very comfortable all day long on the bike. I didn't have to mess with the straps or the position of the helmet at all. I was surprised that at this price point it doesn't come with a travel sack, though. That's my only complaint.

Been ridding with the helmet for two months so far. Really light weight and feels very secure. Also very comfortable. The sunglasses garage alarm holds glasses very well but it is difficult to do one handed while riding.

Good fit and excellent cooling

I use it for all my rides here in the North Carolina mountains. I don't have real hot temps, but it is warm and this has been perfect.

Looking to replace my cracked Bell helmet, wanted a well ventilated helmet which this seemed to be but just not the right shape for my head.
Review by Tom Garlick
This is by far the best and most comfortable helmet I have owned. I ordered the wrong size first and the exchange was quick and easy.

It's always good to know your helmet provides best protection. In that context, it is fine, just a few nits. Bottom sides are lower than replaced earlier generation Giro helmet - sunglasses touch and rattle on some bumps. Helmet's integrated front sweat band stops airflow on forehead, and is noticeably hotter there.

Coming from an Aether, this is a bit "sleeker", doesn't appear as large. The look is similar, but better (if that makes sense), the comfort is great, breathable and great looking and of course safe. What more can you ask for in a lid? Highly recommended.

Giro helmets just fit me better than anything else I've ever tried. This one is lightweight, comfy and has great airflow.
Review by TiCanDo
Super light though almost exactly the same as their other two Spherical's Kind of like riding with a black hole on your head absorbs all light and heat. You can pretend to be the Headless Bikeman

After having an ice dent with the same helmet last month, i am happy to report no damage to me, just the helmet. So i am comfortable replacing with the same.
