Excellent Helmet

Rating:****
I ride about 100 to 150 miles a week and wore out a Giro Eclipse size M helmet after after about 7 years of heavy use so it was time to replace it with a new Giro helmet. The paint and graphics on this helmet are gorgeous but unfortunately, my previous helmet was a size M and so I ordered this one in size M to replace it but it fits very snugly and seems to be sized about a half size smaller than previous size M. I think this helmet is as good as the ones you pay $100 to $200+ for--I think they use the same materials but get a little fancier on the graphics on the more expensive models--so getting this Giro for around $50 was a great deal. I like the helmet, but wish I had known that today's size M is a little smaller than the size M of a few years ago and I probably would have ordered a size L for a better fit. Try one on at a local store if you can to be sure the size is right for you and then order it here to save some $$.

Crash Test

Rating:*****
I just had the experience of truly testing the reason we all should wear a helmet. I purchased this helmet 6 months ago and just recently was t-boned by a truck going about 20 miles an hour. My head hit the truck along with the rest of my body and after everything was said and done the helmet did its job of protecting my head. The helmet survived with barley a scratch and let's just says that I will be purchasing a Giro again!

Quality built in.

How can you go wrong with Giro. Great price for a great helment. I try to support my local bike shop but at the price offered by Sierra I had to purchase this helmet and save some money for some high end componets I needed.

Great Cycling Helmet

Rating:****
For the price, this helmet is perfect. I already own the blue Giro and when I got my red and white bike, I had to get the red one too. I use it for competing in triathlons, cyclocross races and regular road rides.

Strange Design, Good service

Rating:****
My head must be strangely shaped because this helmet seems to be a little flat and makes my head look very very strange. On the other hand Altrec was great and I plan on buying again very soon.

Cool and Light

Rating:****
Appears to be a quality helmet with good ventilation. Lighter than the average helmet. Easy to adjust the fit and comfortable. If you are border line on the sizes, go with the larger one.

I have two Giro helmets for mountain and road riding and I wanted a good helmet for my son he just starting out and this was best out there for the price and quality.

Perfect!

Rating:*****
This helmet was exactly what I was looking for. Loads of ventilation, very light weight, and completely adjustable. It took about 10 minutes to set it up perfectly for me. Awesome product!

Terriric Helmet

Rating:*****
Well-fitting and very lightweight. This helmet has great ventilation, important for those of us who live in the South. Fully adjustable for a snug fit. This helmet looks stylish too!

Hey, great helmet. Love Giro

Rating:****
I ride 6 days out of 7 as week, and will use this helmet every day. The distances are 30-50 klms so it needs to be comfortable.

Awkward

Rating:**
While it is nice to be able to adjust the straps throughout their side to side range, the fixed points for where they come through the chassis are uncomfortably placed. I could not get them away from my ear enough to be comfortable. And, the plastic bands that adjust the tightness sat 1/4 inch down on my ears. Very uncomfortable. I followed the sizing guide to place my order. Can't quite tell if it was a half-size too big or just overly-designed. I guess I should get fitted properly at a bike shop and not order something like this online. Sorry Sierra Trading Post; I still love you.

Way too small

Rating:*
I cannot rate most of the categories because the helmet was too small to even fit on my head. I have ordered Giro helmets before and have not had this problem. I would not order this particular helmet

OK helmet, nice price

Rating:***
I gave this helmet an extra star because of STP's discount pricing. I would never have paid full retail for it. It is a fairly average helmet in terms of fit, padding, ventilation and constuction--nothing special. The chin strap is awkward, difficult to adjust and presses against my throat when it is tightened down appropriately--I finally gave up and just wear it loose. Interior padding is minimal and attached with velcro which allows you to take it out but not actually adjust it. I utimately decided that, for the price, it was worth keeping.

I like the look, design of color combina

Rating:***
It's great in terms of look but head fitness need little adjusment.
