Giro Pneumo Bike Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this helmet. I had a bad crash last June--went down hard and fast at 25 mph. The helmet broke in 4 places, distributed the force of the impact across the my skull, and protected me from more serious injury. I replaced it with another Pneumo.
It gives noticeably more ventilation than the Giro Eclipse, my previous helmet, and seems to have a somewhat lower profile. It is 38 grams heavier (about 10 percent) than the Eclipse due to foam that seems more dense.

The Giro Pneumo Road 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 Pneumo utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability.
This Giro helmet features wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 19 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out. The Giro Pneumo also features a roll cage, and a P.O.V. (Point Of View) adjustable visor that is anchored by a patented internal clutch, which allows 15-degrees of vertical adjustment and prevents the visor from rattling and coming loose over rough terrain.
The Pneumo road helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Pneumo helmet is a lightweight 290 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.
Helmet Tips--You Should Always...

Wear a helmet designed for your activity

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 helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

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

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.

Bell Volt Bike Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent Helmet!!!! Great Ventilation!!! Light!!! Superb Fit!!! I have tried numerous helmets and this is the best so far - comparable to Giro's top helmets. It is also cheaper. Best of all is that it has a removable visor which allows the helmet to switch between off-road and on-road use. IT IS A GREAT HELMET FOR THE PRICE ON AMAZON.COM (and free shipping!)

Click Here to see more reviews about: Bell Volt Bike Helmet

Combining massive ventilation, svelte weight, and high-tech comfort features, the Bell Volt Bike Helmet has 11 frontal vents direct the flow of air via the helmet's custom-sculpted Composite Fiber Intakes (CFI) and internal StreamJet Ventilation channels. Designed to be used on- or off-road, the Volt's removable Variable Position Visor (VPV) is well suited to the rigors of road racing as well as cross country (XC) competitions.
Rearward exhaust ports and the moisture-wicking X-Static padding work in tandem to help keep the rider cool and dry. The Volt is made even more comfortable by Bell's new Twin Axis Gear (TAG) fit system--an evolution of the highly acclaimed GPS fit system--which allows riders to both dial in the exact fit as well as adjust the mechanism's horizontal position on the back of the head.

Channeled Ventilation Specially designed ventilation channels on the interior of the helmet's liner bring cool air in through the front, pass it over the head and flushes warm air out of the rear ports. The Volt features deeply sculpted channels that keep air moving whether you're bombing it at 30 mph, or huffing it uphill at single digit speed.
Internal Reinforcement In order to maximize venting and minimize bulk, high-end helmets like the Volt now feature internal reinforcements. These composite skeletons fortify helmets the same way rebar makes concrete stronger. This allows for bigger vents, more advanced styling and lighter weight, while still meeting stringent safety standards.
GPS Fit System For a glove-like fit, nothing beats Bell's exclusive Geared Positioning System (GPS), which delivers the ultimate one-hand adjustment for superior fit and comfort. Simply turn the dial to click in to the perfect custom fit.

Lazer Max Helmet - Youth Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My three year-old had outgrown his infant helmet yet wasn't big enough for a youth size. Toddler-size helmets are far and few between, and the few that our local stores carried were covered with commercial characters, like Diego (of Dora the Explorer), or Sponge Bob. Since I prefer a more generic style, this Lazer line of helmets fit the bill perfectly (as well as his head!!) My only complaint is that I had a difficult time choosing which cute style to purchase for him. Highly recommended and I would definitely purchase this helmet again.

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.
The dial on the back for adjusting the size is not well designed, and it is somehow hard to adjust, (I compare it with other helmets I have, with better design for the dial).

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.

Third Eye Bar End Bicycle Mirror Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would have given this 5 stars if it were not for the lack of instructions. I contacted customer service at Third Eye (only option is email) but I did receive a reply w/in the hour...from a real person who's customer service skills were so good that I decided to give it the 4 stars instead of the 3 I was going to rate it. By the time I got the reply I had figured the thing out from a picture on a competitor's website. The mirror is pre-assembled when packaged but often comes apart during shipping. The 2 large rubber pieces are supposed to slide over the screw. You then secure the whole thing w/the enclosed nut (be careful when opening package..the nut came flying out that I didn't know was there because of lack of instructions or list of what's included..i saw the nut on the competitor's site..it was a miracle I found it). Then screw clockwise into handlebar end. I was told by Shela at customer service not to screw it in too tight (needed info that should be included w/absent instructions) or the mirror could crack (I torqued mine so much that I bent the screw but was able to straighten it out). Shela also recommended locktite so it doesn't come apart. My mirror fell out of the handlebar end once but I had trouble getting it in all the way when I assembled it. When I put it in again I sprayed the inside of the handlebar w/cooking spray (don't use too much) & the mirror went all the way in w/ease. Make sure the head of the screw is seated when you start to turn.
Now for how it works. It's great! No vibration, real glass, and the convex shape gives a wide field of view. At one point I was so desperate for good mirrors that I even had bulky motorcycle mirrors mounted. Third Eye is smaller & works way better w/a larger field of view than those motorcycle mirrors ever did (& I had motorcycle mirrors mounted on both sides & Third Eye still gives me a larger field of view only mounted on 1 side). Overall I'm very happy with the product!

Giro Skyla Sport Bike Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having owned many Giro helmets, and currently having a high end model, this is an excellent Giro for the price. The expensive models really give you huge vent openings, but this one is pretty good. The styling is excellent and the dial fit adjustment is comparable to the RocLoc system of the higher models. If you need a nice bike helmet at a good price, this is certainly a great choice.
However, make sure you measure your head! This is listed as a universal fit Womens model, which is a total joke. I bought this for my 3 year old daughter, who has a head that measures more than mid-way in the fit range, and it fits her great. On the other hand, my wife who wears a medium Giro Monza, a not-uncommon size for many women, could never fit into this helmet and it almost looks like she's trying to fit a kids helmet on her head. Obviously this will fit many women, but don't read "universal sizing" and order without measuring your head. The Skyla fit range is 50 to 57 cm. In comparison, a medium Giro helmet is 55-59cm (Roc-loc limits) because it also has a larger shell. By the way, the Giro Flume children's specific model has the same fit range of the Skyla of 50-57cm, and the Giro Rodeo toddler helmet is 50-55 cm.
When a Womens helmet has almost the same range as a toddler helmet, you know Giro is trying to limit the number of women who will fit into this helmet, forcing many to move up to the more expensive models that come in sizes; and there are some good reasons to buy the expensive models like fit, Roc-Loc system quick adjustability, and increased air flow.
But if your head fits, its a great helmet at a good budget-friendly price.

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.

Giro Atmos Racing Bike Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In 20 years of road and mountain biking I've had 3 Giros, 2 Bell, and 1 Louis Garneau helmet. This is hands down my favorite. It's the lightest and breathes the best. Even on a recent ride in 94F / 65% humidity / Sunny, my head didn't feel hot. (well, hotter than the rest of me, it was a pretty brutal ride to be honest)
It's super light and very comfortable. You barely feel it on your head.
The reasons I knock it down to 4 stars:
1) Pads are quite sparse and in particular they don't cover the forehead very well. There's also a gap in the center. For me this means that sweat runs into my eyes - as it evaporates it's not sweat but concentrated salt water. Ouch! (Other helmets I've had with larger forehead pads delay this issue. There are head bands on the market for this exact issue, however)
2) The rear plastic head straps are covered in a rubber coating, which cracked within a month or two - doesn't affect the function or comfort as there is a stronger plastic material underneath, but a disappointment given the price.
3) On the underside there are 3 small areas where the foam is melted or looks like it was attacked by a solvent - surface defects really, and you never see it. Doesn't affect function or external appearance but at this price I guess I expect more.
My helmet was from 2008 when they still included a rigid carry pod. Apparently they don't make this anymore, which is a shame since it is a super nice feature - protect your helmet, carry your gloves, Gu and Powerbars too (It was well ventilated so things don't get stinky). - you can still get them on Ebay though...Specialized now makes one too but the Giro one looked nicer.

The Giro Atmos bike helmet continues to set the standard for high performance, matchless style, and comfortable fit. The Atmos offers such features as a proprietary in-mold design that provides the strength to support 26 cooling vents, a benchmark in-mold roll cage, and a low-profile silhouette. The vents are particularly comforting, as they work in tandem with an intricate network of internal channels to create a cooling system dubbed Wind Channel ventilation. The upshot? The Atmos is one of the coolest helmets around, making it a top choice for road, 'cross, and XC riders alike.
Ionos Technologies The Atmos employs a number of advanced Giro technologies. The Atmos' 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" 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.
Reinforcement and Fit The Atmos also includes a roll-cage reinforcement--a tough web of DuPont nylon molded inside the helmet's EPS foam liner. This reinforcement provides an extra measure of strength and integrity that you'll never even notice--unless you need it. Finally, the Atmos 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.
The Atmos helmet weighs only 275 grams and complies with 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 him tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, resulting in the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking and better fitting than traditional designs yet still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world: young bloods and old-timers; hardcores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet. Giro is based in Scotts Valley, California.
