Giro Fixture MIPS Adult Mountain Cycling Helmet – Matte Trim Red (Limited), Universal Adult (54-61 cm)

It looks good and fits great. I haven’t survived a crash with this on…yet…so I can’t review the most important elements of a bike helmet. But I’m impressed with the quality of this helmet.

Been using it for over a month now. Fits well. Light weight. Breathable for our summer temps in UAE. So far great product at great value for its price.

I have had several Giro helmets in the past and this is the first time I ordered on online. I was very happy that it is true to size. I opted for the green helmet to be more visible. It’s quite comfortable and has plenty of airflow for those hot days. All in all a great value.

Nice helmet. Well-built, nice ventilation, comfortable, and easy to make adjustments to fit very well. I like the sun visor and the ability to detach it if needed. My only issues are that the color is not quite as bright as shown in the photo (I was looking for neon color and its more like key lime), and the delivery was very slow.

Very comfortable mips helmet. This is my second one as the first one took a hard hit and needed replacement. Pretty bad crash and I am glad I had a good helmet on. They are not super expensive but fit comfortably and look good too. visor is not adjustable which is a small downfall.

The only real complaint is that I was shipped one that was dated a year old already. The other thing is the color. This is not black at all, its a grey color. not the end of the world but if you want true black, this isn’t it.

Two things, first off: this is described as a dirt riding helmet. I’m mainly an urban/road rider and am more concerned about proper fit and adequate air flow. I don’t care that it’s described as a dirt riding helmet. Secondly, some buyers have sent this helmet back because of, or are unhappy with, the color, stating it looks white. As the pics show, it is a light shade of gray, with a matte finish, not gloss. Helmet appearance is a very personal judgement call. If you’re looking for a helmet to match your bike color or how it goes with your riding gear, you may want to look further. I’m perfectly happy with the fact that it doesn’t draw attention to itself. Finally, I wanted a helmet with a visor, detachable or not, as I have a custom rearview mirror that mounts to the visor. This is a detachable visor but provides a stable mirror mounting location up to 35mph (maximum speed thus far with new helmet.)

I have a large head, 23.5″ or 59.7 cm. I wanted a helmet that provided additional room for either a skull cap or balaclava for cold weather riding. This helmet is stated as sizing 58-65 cm. With my head measuring slightly under 60 cm, the helmet fits perfectly on my bare head or with a cold weather protection layer added. Whereas my old helmet rode on top of my head, this helmet fits over my head. My wife commented the first time she saw it on me, that this helmet didn’t appear to be “perched” on my head like my old one did.
This helmet also provides MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) engineering. This specification became a priority for me after becoming aware of its existence. The whole idea of wearing a helmet is to provide maximum protection in case the worst scenario arises. The MIPS combined with the excellent fit of the helmet makes me feel that I’d have a good chance of surviving a head impact if it happened.
Another fit consideration mentioned by at least one buyer stated that the non-adjustable straps didn’t clear their ear correctly, referring to the “V” strap configuration not clearing their ear. This, of course, can’t be confirmed until actually putting the helmet on. It either fits properly or it doesn’t. And to clarify, the chin strap IS adjustable, of course, just not the configuration around the ear. One final observation about the straps, they are of a thinner, narrower material than my previous helmet, also a Giro brand. I assume that they are as strong or stronger than the straps on my old helmet. Strength of lightweight materials has advanced tremendously since the construction of my old helmet.

Summary: Make sure that your head measurement is greater than 58 cm and less than 65 cm (that’s BIG!). The depth of the inside of the helmet is generous, fitting my large head well. Inside size adjustment is by rotating wheel with click stop. Chin strap adjustment leaves 4″ additional length available in my case.

Helmet color and style is purely subjective, as is strap fit around ear.

Build quality and materials is excellent, as is to be expected with Giro.

All in all, a great fitting, comfortable helmet for large heads.
