Giro Isode MIPS Adult Recreational Cycling Helmet

Just getting back into bicycles. I never wore a helmet as a kid when riding bikes, but I know it's the safe and smart thing to do now. And I'm used to wearing helmets since I also ride motorcycles. This one is equipped with MIPS, which I'm familiar with because of motorcycle helmets, and influenced my purchase. I barely notice this thing on my head. It's lightweight but feels high quality. The fit and finish are excellent, as I expect from this brand and the research I've done on it. The chin strap works well with me and doesn't rub or make me uncomfortable. The adjustable, universal fit dial makes this helmet so easy to wear. I haven't tested its protection, luckily, but I have confidence in this helmet to keep me safe if I ever crash. I've ridden in mild weather so far and the helmet is well-ventilated without making me feel cold. I don't think it would every make me feel warm, but I don't need it to. Outfitted it with the Isode II MIPS helmet light, which fits perfectly into a rear vent. That with the flouro yellow/green color makes me feel very visible on the road. Overall, love this helmet. Glad I took my time, read reviews, and found this one.

I bought one of these, exactly the same, over 20 years-ago, in a store at a ski mountain in New Hampshire! I used it forever, every time I skied and really liked it. It kept my ears warm without a hat, and was basically just more comfortable, and believe it or not lighter, than a hat. Recently, because I'm older now and wasn't planning on skiing any more (so sad!) I gave my Giro to a friend for biking and such. At the same time I have a bike and bought a scooter and I had a couple helmets to use on the scooter, but regretting having given the Giro away, so I came here. I could barely believe they still make the exact same helmet (in only one size!) - so easy to replace. These are the best helmets on Earth in my opinion. They're remarkably light. There's nothing like them. Get one, don't hesitate because of the cost; I promise this is a helmet you can keep and use for multiple activities for the rest of your life! I'm gonna keep this one and hold it tight. I'd say they're irreplaceable but really they're just inimitable! Ten stars!

I grabbed this helmet in the blacked/Red combo while it was on sale, and couldn’t be happier with what I got. The quality feels top-notch—durable construction, lightweight, and well finished. The fit is spot-on. Thanks to the adjustable dial in the back, I got it snug and secure without any pressure points. It hugs my head just right and doesn’t move around even on longer rides. The ventilation is excellent too—lots of airflow keeping things cool. Overall, the combination of high quality, perfect fit thanks to the adjuster, and a great deal on the blacked-out style makes this helmet a worthwhile purchase. I’m really happy with it!

After having some delivery issues and over 4 weeks to receive, it was very easy to fit this helmet to my head size. The helmet is so light and fits so well that I hardly know it is there. There is plenty of ventilation and my head is basically dry after a 35-minute track in NC humidity. In addition, it was very easy to attach a rear-facing light without any feeling it was there while on my head. So far this helmet meets all my objectives including cost, safety, MIPs, and comfort.

I actually liked this helmet a lot. It is light and sturdy. Seems like it would withstand the impact. The color combination I got was cheaper than others and I think overall I am very happy with price as well. The color came out to be fantastic. So no complain overall. I really love the form factor it doesn't block my view when I am in an aggressive position in race bike, so that is a great plus. The helmet only comes in one size it fits me great, no problem for me, but I don't think it would fit someone with large head. I am not very happy with the seller though. Seller first send me a helmet that is cracked. So I had to ask for a replacement. Amazon send me a replacement. The replacement was actually fantastic. Now, once the replacement came in, I compare it with the first one and I noticed quite a few differences in terms of design and materials. And the first helmet was shipped on a plastic bag. The second one came in a proper giro packaging. I am not sure what to make of it. Either the seller is selling counterfeit product or the manufacturer quality control is really unreliable.
