Lock a bike helmet by sliding the wire loop through an air vent and then passing a cable, chain, or U-lock through the protruding loop. The zinc-plated steel metal stopper will securely hold a helmet in place. The Helmet Lock is more secure than simply locking a bike helmet by its straps because straps can be unhooked. What's more, The Helmet Lock is easy to carry while riding because it securely affixes to a U-Lock when not in use.

Lazer Magma Timeless Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The most important thing about a helmet is that it fits properly, and all heads are different. Fit means it should fit snug, level, and stable once the straps are adjusted. You can test this by hitting the helmet with the palm of your hand on your head from the front and rear and from the sides, it should stay on without very little (inch or less) movement.
I tried a bunch of helmets and this was the only one I found that fit from side to side. THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THE LAZER MAGMA WILL FIT YOU. If a helmet doesn't fit don't buy it because it could compromise your safety in an event of an accident. Search for one that fits you, all helmet manufactures make theirs different even between a manufacture models.
The Lazer Magma is a good, well made helmet. It has 21 large well designed air vents that will allow air to flow from the front and taking the warmer air out the rear keeping your head cool. It comes with cool max pads which assist with keeping your head a tad cooler then normal pads, and comes with an extra set of pads to use when those wear out. It comes with a winter cap which replaces the visor (by snapping off the visor) and attaching, it somewhat effectively reduces the air flow into the helmet. But if your riding in the cold you need additional protection from the cold like a helmet cover to shut off air flow completely and a skull cap.The included sun visor is not so long that you have to crank your neck up just to see pass it, it's a nice short design.
All bicycle helmets sold in America, even cheap $15 discount store helmets, have to pass CPSE safety ratings, some of the better ones, like this one, goes a step further by putting a reinforcement in the helmet, similar to roll cage in principal, in the front and sides; also more expensive helmets like this one use a in molded design where the outside plastic covering of the helmet is fused onto the inner foam lining making the outside of the helmet tougher for impacts. In other words, this helmet EXCEEDS CPSE requirements.
The helmet is comfortable and light in weight, and looks good. I would suggest trying this helmet if you tried a bunch of others on and haven't found one that fit right. It's difficult to find this brand in most bike shops, but I got lucky with the fit when I ordered it by e-mail from Nigara Cycle Works who are great people to deal with.

Giro Ionos Road Racing Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this helmet for my son for Christmas, he loves it. I love that he has a much needed new brain protector. Moms are like that:-)

Click Here to see more reviews about: Giro Ionos Road Racing Helmet

The coolest helmet in the peleton - and features the new Roc Loc 5 fit system. After more than ten years of refinement, this ground-breaking fit system provides an entirely unique use experience with an unmatched level of comfort, stability, adjustability and weight savings. With Roc Loc 5, you can easily dial-in both fit tension and adjust vertical position with a single hand. Just twist the dial for a tighter feel on tough terrain, then back it off a notch and relax across the flats or a warm climb. Even with these remarkable features, Roc Loc 5 is still 40-percent lighter than its popular predecessor, Roc Loc 4. Roc Loc 5 systems is: 1) Micro Dial. The heart of the Roc Loc 5 is this ratcheting, micro-adjusting dial. A simple, two-finger twist of the Micro Dial opens or closes the retention system and each click is audible. 2) Three-Position Vertical Fit - It's never been easier to change vertical positions and fine-tune fit. We incorporated a three-position bracket that features 15-millimeters of precise up/down movement. Like the Micro Dial, this system can be adjusted without removing the helmet. 3) Carefully crafted ergonomic arms are shaped to be as comfortable as possible, yet work flawlessly with Giro eyewear (what we call Super Fit engineering). 4) Dual Pods - These two panels are designed to firmly grasp the back of your head while comfortably cradling the occipital lobe. Strap management - with Roc Loc 5, your helmet straps are woven through the fit system, so they are always in the perfect position. Complex Internal Design - Dozens of small parts work together seamlessly to provide exceptionally user-friendly adjustment. Minimal and Light, yet Strong - Although this fit system is 40% lighter than its predecessor, it's much stronger. In testing, Roc Loc 5 performs flawlessly, even after 6,600 cycles (equivalent to 3 years of riding with 3 round trips per day).

Schwinn Thrasher Adult Micro Bicycle Helmet (Adult) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing this review based up on my real life experience on 3/14/10. My husband is a lifelong cyclist. Together we have worn bike helmets our entire adult lives. Friends joked about how we looked wearing our helmets in the past. They don't joke anymore. My husband was riding solo at about 18-20 MPH and became startled by an unleashed dog that appeared out of nowhere. Expecting to be nipped at the heel, the dog instead crashed into the front bicycle wheel, sending him over the handlebars onto a paved street. His 1 year old Schwinn Thrasher helmet took the fist impact, destroying itself in order to save his skull and brain. Reconstructive orthopedic surgery was required for his shattered left collarbone. He is still healing - but he is able share his experience with others today. I spent a mere $20 bucks at a discount store. The Schwinn Thrasher helmet saved my husband's life. Thank you Schwinn.

The place that is easy to be broken is the business end of the sunlight. There moves just to have touched it at a finger-tip. When my son threw a helmet on a lawn, surely the keeping off the sun light part will be broken. I told a son to treat a helmet carefully many times.

The 747 uses a fantastically shaped structure to keep it strong enough for tough MTB racing, but yet compact to look stylish on the head. With a panache that could only come from Italy, Limar cleverly intergrated the front peak within the overall design.

UVEX Sport Boss Race Bicycle Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This helmet is pretty light, pretty well-ventilated, pretty comfortable, and has several nice features such as anti-bug mesh in front vents, ratcheting chin strap for easy adjustment, a soft sweat-absorbing cover for the chin strap, and easy one-handed adjustment of the fit. As long as your head is neither huge nor tiny (the helmet comes in just one size) it is a tremendous value - you can spend twice as much money, but it'll get you a helmet that isn't much better.

Click Here to see more reviews about: UVEX Sport Boss Race Bicycle Helmet

The Sport Boss race features our exclusive IAS (Individual Adapting System): With its ratcheting closure mechanism, and pivot points, the UVEX IAS 2-system provides a unique, three-dimensional, and micro-adjustable fit. The integrated strap system guide guarantees a good and tight fit. The IAS knob can be operated with one hand, while the helmet is on. The system also features a ventilated forehead with anti-allergic, washable cushion. Helmet loosens up after you get going? No need to stop and fiddle with straps, just reach up and click the monomatic mechanism in to microadjust on the fly. Monomatic closure: Most helmets use a standard click-lock, and anyone who rides knows that the fit of the chin strap can change as you get moving and start to sweat. Until now, you had a choice: stop and fiddle with your straps, or ride with a loose strap. UVEX has solved that particular annoyance with a ratcheted design (similar to what you might find on a pair of bike shoes or in-line skates, only smaller). This allows you to fine-tune how tight the strap closes on the chin on the fly. The strap itself is a 16mm wide, non-fade, uv-resistant, light, smooth, and easy on the skin. In-Mould technology means a tough helmet with superior protection for the back of the head.

Giro Section Bike/Multi-Sport Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not a fan of the aerodynamic day-glo style of most bike helmets, so I was pleased to see this offering by Giro. (I also own their Giro E2 Bike Helmet.) I opted for the large size because, like another reviewer, my head is pretty big. I was pleased with the Section in this regard: The large size is roomy and comes with three sets (thin, medium, thick) of internal padding that attach via Velcro. Using combinations of these pads, the helmet can be customized for most head shapes. As the other reviewer notes, those with truly huge noggins may find that the thinnest pads provide limited cushioning in a fall. Removing the pads and substituting a thin wool cap is also an option for cool spring/fall riding.
Compared to other pot style multi-sport helmets, this one is pretty light. Giro claims it's 296g, but that must be without any internal pads attached. With the thinnest pads inserted, it weighed in at 314g on my balance. That's still not bad. It doesn't feel very massive when it's strapped on.
My one complaint is cooling. The helmet sits almost flush against scalp and leaves little space for flow-through ventilation. There are a few vents, but they don't do much. As a result, I suspect I'll be wearing my well-ventilated E2 when the summer months start to really heat up.
If and when this thing does its job and stops my skull from cracking on the pavement, I'll report back on its performance.

It is much smaller on the outside compared to other brands / models, so it does not look so bulky when wearing it.

Giro Indicator Sport Bike Helmet Review

(More customer reviews)I bought this helmet last September. Excellent fit, very comfortable, light, and good ventilation. It's protection ability was tested yesterday when I hit a curb wrong and went flying - cracked the helmet & recieved 16 stiches to my eye but no concusion or other head injury... which really surprised the emergency room doctor. I'm buying the exact same model today as my replacement.

The Giro Indicator's confident style and superior ventilation are coupled with a modern design that complements every type of rider. As a result, the Indicator helmet is the perfect choice for riding downtown, up a technical climb, and everything in between. The helmet is built using Giro's in-mold construction, which fuses the helmet's outershell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. The helmet also includes 20 built-in vents, which thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. And riders will love the helmet's snap-fit visor, which shields your eyes on bright, sunny days.
The Indicator bike helmet is carefully sculpted and size-specific, with an easy-to-adjust Acu Dial fit system. The helmet--which adjusts between 21.25 and 24 inches--weighs only 0.62 pounds and complies with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.



About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a sleek, stylish helmet that offered a superior fit while still meeting the industry's toughest safety standards. In addition, the helmet weighed half as much as traditional helmets, making it extremely comfortable. In the years since, Giro has advanced its helmets, which are extremely popular among progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are now worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Giro is based in Scotts Valley, California.

Cycleaware Reflex Bicycle Helmet Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had this product for more than 1 year. I'm an avid cyclist, 3 times a week, over 3,000 miles a year (OK, I'm retired) During the summer most of my cycling is on country roads so it's imperative that I see what's coming before I hear it. It works well once you get used to it. First you must set it up on your helmet. With some of today's designs this takes some thought, but stick with it (no pun intended). Then you must position it so it doesn't block your forward vision. Practice around the house or walking outdoors until you feel comfortable. The mirror arm is quite flexible & strong so it's easy to move. The oval shape gives a large view & the mirror design increases the depth of field to make it easy to see the approaching objects.As well the mirror itself swivels making it adjustable for anyone. If you have to move it to another helmet I found that several layers of 2 sided thick carpet tape worked just fine to secure the base. The mirror which snaps on a little ball joint at the end of the arm became sloppy so I wrapped a small piece of painter's tape around it. It's quite strong though as I found out when I took a tumble off my mountain bike. I cracked my helmet & ribs but the mirror stayed on in one piece. Would highly recommend this safety device to any cyclist whether you bike on roads or just a neighborhood trail. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars as I feel you should be able to order additional arms and or mirrors as needed.

The Cycleaware Reflex Bicycle Helmet Mirror is the ultimate hassle-free solution for urban and recreational cyclists. The unique, "Gumby"-like Kraton covered wire makes this mirror the first (and only) flexible and fully adjustable helmet mirror.

The durable base can permanently adhere to all bicycle helmets and can be easily detached. At 0.7 ounces, it's so light that its weight is virtually unnoticeable to the wearer.

Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet Review

(More customer reviews)This is a very comfortable helmet with a nice fit. Most of the helmets you'll find in this price range don't fit well. Believe me, I've tried a number of them. But this one fits me great.
One small piece of advice: It has a more rounded appearance from the front than most bike helmets do. So if you don't like the thought of a "round" look when someone's looking at you straight on, this might not be the helmet for you.

The Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Transfer utilizes Giro's Acu Dial system, which combines single-handed adjustment with a full-fit band for a quick, sure fit. This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 20 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out.
The Transfer sport helmet comes in Giro's Universal Fit Adult U size (54-61cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro's Transfer helmet is a lightweight 255 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

Schwinn Intercept Adult Micro Bicycle Helmet (Adult) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My head is ~62cm around and finding a decent helmet is usually an epic struggle. (I usually shy away from one-size-fits-all because they almost never fit) I currently wear a Giro Eclipse (size XL) that costs 4 times more than this one and I have to say that with the proper adjustments, the Schwinn Intercept fits just as well.
The Intercept utilizes a fit-ring which basically encircles the head and has a dial in the back so you can adjust the tension. (The back of the ring should hold the helmet against the lower-rear of the head which prevents the helmet from tipping forwards) My main issue with the helmet is that the fasteners on the side-straps are not the usual locking clips, rather they are a rotating dial thingamajig that has an open/close position but doesn't actually lock. The result is that even in the closed position, you can still move the straps if you tug with moderate force. (Effectively, while the helmet is easy to adjust, the side straps most likely will not retain their position)
I bought the Schwinn Intercept on a whim because I found out at the last minute that there was a bike test-ride event over the weekend and I didn't have my usual helmet handy. After an intense day of both mountain/trail and road biking, I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. I found that the included visor worked pretty well and the helmet was comfortable and unobtrusive.
On the flip-side, I did get pretty hot and sweaty , and it wasn't a particularly hot day, so the 10 smallish vents left something to be desired. Also, I found that after taking the helmet off and putting it back on, I needed to fix the side-strap because it moved a little. (The side strap should make the Y-shape with the V part under the ear)
I can't say anything about crash-worthiness but it is notable that this helmet did receive recognition from Consumer Reports as being a Best Buy when it comes to safety. (It should be taken with a grain of salt as Consumer Reports only tests a handful of helmets)
Compared to my Giro Eclipse: The Eclipse (and pretty much any expensive helmet) uses in-mold construction which basically means that the foam and the outer shell are molded together in a single step. (versus having a bare foam helmet and gluing/taping the shell on afterwards as is the case with the Intercept) The in-mold processes effectively bonds the foam to the shell, creating a more durable and sturdy helmet that passes CPSC testing while using much less material. Thus, my Eclipse is much lighter and has 24 big vents and grooves inside for more airflow. Also, the straps and fasteners are much higher quality and they stay in place indefinitely.
Overall, it's a great helmet for the money. It's good to see higher-end features trickling their way down to mass-market products such as the fit-ring and adjustment dial.

Giro Ionos Road Bike Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent helmet and it works too. I gave it a crash test last month when I was hit by a car (I was doing 25 mph) and hit my head hard on the asphalt. The helmet didn't break or crack and I didn't suffer any type of head injuries. I was so impressed, I replaced it with the same model. The fit is great and I wore it on a 200 mile one day ride without any discomfort. It isn't a cheap helmet, but what kind of price do you put on your life?
The Garmin color isn't bad either.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Giro Ionos Road Bike Helmet

The Ionos is the most technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. The Ionos is built around a proprietary in-mold composite sub-frame (ICS) that provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a bike helmet. These massive vents, coupled with an intricate network of internal channels, creates a cooling system dubbed Wind Tunnel ventilation, making Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet on the market. The helmet is perfect for keeping Grand Tour champions like Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador cool on the hottest days and over the most tortuous Alpine climbs.
Ionos Technologies The Ionos helmet employs some of the most advanced technologies that Giro has ever used in a bike helmet. The Ionos' in-mold construction, for example, fuses the helmet's outer shell with the impact-absorbing EPS liner. Not only does this reinforce both layers, but the "exoskeleton" also allows Giro to engineer helmets that are lighter, more durable, and better ventilated. This culminates in the helmet's proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system, which combines active vents with internal exhaust channels that thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head while forcing heat and stale air out. By definition, a channel is a route through which anything passes or progresses. In the case of Giro helmets, the internal channels are carefully crafted and are one of the keys to a well-ventilated helmet. This significant increase in air channeling makes a difference that riders will feel immediately.
The secret behind the vent technology is the in-mold composite subframe, which lets Giro offer huge vents without compromising protection. The Ionos features a visible weave of carbon reinforcement that runs through the helmet's liner and around the vents. By using these advanced materials, the sub-frame can be tuned to provide incredible structural support, impact dispersion, and resistance to penetration.
Padding and Fit The Ionos offers X-Static helmet padding, which is entwined with an environmentally friendly silver-coated fabric called Silver Fiber. Found exclusively in Ionos helmets, the fabric provides anti-microbial and thermodynamic benefits, so in addition to keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, your helmet will stay fresh all year round. Finally, the Ionos helmet is engineered using Super Fit technology, making it so comfortable that it virtually disappears when you put it on. The proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on "human scale factors" data and nearly 20 years of crafting helmets for the best riders in the world. The result is a helmet that fits 98 percent of the world's population, yet looks and feels like it was made just for you.
About Giro Giro, based in Scotts Valley, California, is a worldwide leader in the design, development, and marketing of premium, high-performance protective gear and accessories for action sports and active lifestyles.
