Great helmet but adjustability sucks

My head circumference is 24" and the Register fit fine. If my head were a little bit bigger, not so.

I ordered this helmet because Consumer Reports rated it highly although they added that adjustability was a problem. That was a gross understatement.

The generic helmet manual pamphlet that comes with the helmet says to adjust the straps so that the helmet cannot be pushed up off your forehead or ride up in back. Good advice. Trouble is, the straps are sewn together at the point where most helmets have a fitting permitting one to follow that advice.

If you are lucky, your head size and shape is such that the straps are "just right" as is. If you are not (and I bet most folks fall in this category), the helmet cannot be properly adjusted.

I hope the folks at Giro fix this flaw; meanwhile, only buy this helmet if you can try it on somewhere first and see if you have a Goldilocks head.

I am shipping it back to BTD using their label so my refund will be reduced by $7.95. Fair enough. But do not make my mistake!

Thank you for your feedback.

Good helmet, not great visor

I use this helmet on my mid day rides because the visor is too small to provide protection in the army morning or late afternoon rides. The straps are not easy to adjust, but once set, the helmet is comfortable enough. Better strap adjustments and larger visor would make this helmet very good.

Thank you for your feedback.

This is a high rated consumer reports helmet that was very reasonable priced.

I like that it has an advisor built in. Got the red and black, which looks nice.

Thank you for your feedback.

lightweight, comfortable, and effective

This is my only helmet; I use it on my road bikes and my recumbent. I particularly like the visor, given that my eyes are pretty photosensitive; it helps a lot. It's a worthwhile piece of gear, does what it's supposed to do, and doesn't cost a fortune. I think it's a good value.

Thank you for your feedback.

Love the helmet!

Its very comfortable, and easy to fit. I have struggled with the sizing of other helmet brands, the Giro was so easy to adjust and fit. The color is highly visible riding on urban streets. I would buy it again in a minute. As a matter of fact, I got one for my wife too!

Thank you for your feedback.

Good Helmet, would buy again.

My sole criticism of this helmet is the straps which I thought were poorly adjustable. I was able to replace them with the straps from an older helmet with just a little effort. I did not find the ventilation to be a problem, even though I live in the southern part of Georgia, a state not not for pleasant summers. I would buy this helmet again.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very comfortable fit but somewhat lacking in ventilation

Helmet fits well and is very comfortable on but may not have enough room for balaclava or beanie come cold weather. The Highlight Yellow is very visible which is main reason for selecting this helmet. The visor is too short and too high to be of any use. The ventilation is not adequate for hot & humid conditions. This will be my commuter helmet. It is a good value.

Thank you for your feedback.

Very comfortable fit but somewhat lacking in ventilation

This helmet fits my head well and is very comfortable. I'm concerned that there may not be enough room for skullcap or balaclava come cold weather though which could be a shame as this helmet seems better suited for cold weather. 1) The helmet is not as well vented as the Giro Pneumo it is replacing or the Bell helmet I had prior to that. It is noticeably warmer on hot days. 2) The visor is pretty much worthless. It sets too high and is too short to block any sun.

That being said it is a good value. The highlight yellow is very visible. I wish the straps were more adjustable.

Thank you for your feedback.

Exceeded my expectations!

Purchased on the recommendation of Consumer reports, whose objective, thorough and impartial judgment I have relied on for decades.

Perfect fit, easy to adjust, secure feeling, and a nice minimalist flat gray color without gaudy ornamentation...also like the generous ventilation ports and detachable sun visor.

The best MIPS helmet I have owned in my 74 years...thanks!

Thank you for your feedback.
