Review by scissors2kilReviewed 6/27/2017by scissors2kilCompetitive RacerOakland1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great trail helmet!!After cracking a road helmet with one endo, I thought to get a more robust trail helmet. This fit the bill. Great new design and features from trustworthy Giro.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/28/2020by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPhoenix, AZThis helmet looks good, but it is much hotter than my Giro Hex.I live in Phoenix, AZ. This helmet is okay in the winter, way too hot in the summer. I bought it to replace my old Giro Hex (still available new now). The hex does not have MIPS, but it is way better ventilated. So I find myself continuing to wear my old helmet, and this sits on the shelf. Additionally, this helmet comes down much further around the head. Probably great for safety, but crummy for comfort. Not only does this increase the heat factor, but it makes it very irritating to wear sunglasses, as the helmet almost rests on my sunglasses. I would not buy this helmet again, and I wish I had just bought another Hex.

Review by evilrhoReviewed 11/30/2018by evilrhoCycling EnthusiastSan Jose, CAGreat MIPS helmet for the price.It's a great helmet that I bought to replace my Montero, which I backed over with my car. -(. Not as fit and finished as the Montero, but a solid helmet for the price, nonetheless.

Review by Brett GReviewed 3/8/2018by Brett GSanta Cruz California 1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Decent enough but try before you buy, and it's hot.Historically, Giro helmets fit me well, but this one always rotates on my skull such that the brow piece encroaches on my eye, forcing constant readjustments. This is because of the shape of the lower rear part of the helmet cutting in more aggressively than my head shape allows. It just doesn't fit my head correctly.
I came from a Giro E2 which was lighter and much cooler. It's still winter in Santa Cruz, but my head is cooking every ride. Another thing I've noticed with fewer vents is that it's much harder to scratch my head. For colder climates, and different shaped heads, it's probably a great choice, but I need to get something else.
