Giro Agilis MIPS Best Buy Helmet Quick Review
Quick review of the excellent Agilis W
MIPS cycle helmet made by Giro.
At the time of review this helmet was available for £69 including delivery from Mantel.com. It remains to be seen how much it will cost after brexit!
Have no fear however, as Sigmasports in the UK are currently stocking it at £75.
A safe, comfortable, good looking and good value option.
Outdoorgearlab awarded this helmet their Best Buy in their cycle helmet round up.

Kovea Spider Stove Unboxing
มุมมอง 4.8K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Brand new Kovea Spider remote canister stove just arrived in the post today and looking good! Ordered via ebay seller Chovin in South Korea. 170g for a remote stove with preheat tube making it lighter than either the Primus Express Spider or the MSR Windpro. Considerably smaller packing too.

Vango Omega 600 XL First Look
มุมมอง 1.6K11 ปีที่แล้ว
New addition to the Omega range for 2013. Standing height 185cm. Loads of porch space for table and chairs, cooking etc. Large door at the front on the tent which can be raised on additional 180cm poles to create a small awning in front of the opening. Comes with two sleeping compartments. Approx 8.5kg, or just 7.5kg if (like me) you just use the main compartment.
Packtowl Ultralite or Original?

Leading travel towels compared. Which performs best - Cascade Design's Packtowl or Decathlon's own brand offering?
White helmets always look larger than black. That's why actors in some plays wore white gloves.
This helmet looks great on you, it's a great helmet, I've just ordered one. I think the self conscious thing is a bit silly to be honest
Watch with sound off...less boring.
It's kind of a gamble if you can't try different helmets on. I had a lot of helmets in the past 30y some brands fit better than others. My recently bought new helmet, an ABUS Viantor (L 58/62), fits fortunately very well with my 58cm head as well with an add winter cap and I never had an ABUS helmet before.
Strangely rivales got some with MIPS whiles some are not on certain colours
My head size is 55cm what size should i buy. Thank you.
Folks with big heads do not have many choices. The need for 62cm is real! 😅
I was too stingy to shell out for this one but I just got one and it's so light and comfortable I'm not going back to cheaper ones I guess.
Just got mine a few days ago. Very good value for money so I am planning to get a few colours. I have the sworks and that I find bulky ... I like it that it is not bulky compared
I like using this type of towel for sheets in hot weather/humid camping and canoe camping. So many advantages over traditional towels for this and who wants to sleep in, or on, a traditional bag in 95 degree weather with humidity on a beach?
End of this month paypal stop with paying for the refund costs
Thanks for the review mate. Based on your comments, I went out and purchased one. You were spot on with regard to styling and quality. The fit and finish are perfect. And, I was able to find one at 125 euro. Great helmet at an incredible price point.
hahaha good review but the looks of it made me laugh. It does kinda look weird :D
Thank you for the video and specially for wearing the helmets. A review without wearing a helmet is almost the same than nothing! :)
Just ordered one of these in matte black to replace my Lazer Z1. The Lazer saved my head from serious damage in a 20+ mph crash a few days ago.
This helmet is the only one ive found which seems to actually look good and not look like a giant mushroom on your head. Do they make it with mips? I cant seem to find a mips one.. :/ thanks!
excuse me what width inside for L size?
Hi Pete, thanks for posting. I'm thinking of buying one of these. Mostly, I find the strap material appealing. I wonder, have you had chance to live with it for any length of time and what your up to date views were?
I decided against the Mojito 3 and ended up with a Kask Valegro which is a really well ventilated helmet for hot weather riding, but not quite as sturdy for every day use. The Protone is another great helmet and the build, padding etc is more substantial than the Valegro. But it's more expensive than the Mojito 3.
This is so comfortable, I can't believe I've always been underestimating the value of a helmet of this level! But would you say that it runs large? I have a feelilng (perhaps just because I had the cheapest no-MIPS) that this helmet makes me look like a mushroom. My head is 60cm, and I ran for a size L (56-62cm). There is quite enough adjustment to a smaller size and a bit less adjustment towards larger, which proves I've made correct measurements. The front edge looks way thicker of course as compared to a cheaper lid. Or is that a matter of habit, and I will get used to the look? Did you?
Did you get used to it after a year? I was wondering the same lol it looks huge. In the video it's the non-MIPS version so it fits more tight around the head. I feel like helmets look better on my mates but i have a huge head.
@@we1rd92 Yes, I'm still using it as the only helmet. After a long-term test (2 years so far) I must admit that it does look bulky for my slim face, although I fall into the middle of the L size. One more thing which is inobvious: there is an offset between the face and the loopholes where straps are attached, i.e. putting glasses over the straps, as velominati rules suggest, makes it uncomfortable: one yawn, and the glasses are misplaced.
@@VlasTrunov yeah, the strap placement is annoying. I have to wear my glasses under the straps. Currently looking at other helmets.
Very informative. What is your head size? i have a 58cm circumference, should i get a M or L?
Do you have a link where i can buy this helmet?
I think that exact model might be discontinued now, but here's a link to a newer version with additional MIPS head protection. I think it looks quite a good deal! www.gohelmets.co.uk/product/poc-octal-mips-2801?variant=367-1010
@@Petemight Thank you!
Thanks for review. Although, I'm not riding much outside ( good dd trainer, TV in front, Trainer Road ), but this helmet looks nice and seems to be good choice.
People are silly. You can cut the extra strap length. Also, it looks good on you so who gives a fk if you’re a beginner.
Nice
Great review you’ve talked me out of buying this. Kask Valegro for me.
Hi Pete greetings from Canada. I just received my new Rivale MIPS in large. I realize this is the older non MIPS version. I would have been fine with the non-MIPS too but it wasn’t that much more. In regards to the fit, it is comfortable and light. Thank you very much for the review; it helped me make the decision.
Great! I'm really happy if I've managed to help.
I've been looking at the same Tefal alternatives for the - in my opinion - overpriced "backpacking pans". The Tefal is, as you said, a solid, standard thickness and properly coated non-stick pan, but the handle can indeed be an inconvenience. Once the handle removed, what will you use to grab the pan, in order to keep it steady while stirring, to lift it up, etc.?
You should visit the doctor. This doctor should be good in mental health.
Hi, may i know the actual size/circumference of your head? Thanks.
Hello. I don't understand English. Just tell me in the comments, is the helmet good or not ? Buy it or not ?
Thanks for the Mojito, Rivale and Aventor reviews, mate. I was weighing up all three when I came across your videos. Such a great help! Went for the Aventor btw...
Glad to hear that my ramblings were helpful! I would have been really happy with the Aventor had it been a better fit.
good review
Is this the Mips version
Hi Chewie, this is the old version pre MIPS. I'd be interested in trying the MIPS version
Watch the review before commenting & you’d find out.
@@Petemight i bought the Mips version. It is very stable and doesn’t look like a mushroom.
@@adammillsindustries. Idid. Take your attitude someplace else, it’s wanted here.
@@chewie8 I’ll keep it here & take it to other places then, no worries.
Love this brand. The design reminds a little bit of RoboCop/Star Ship Troopers. I wish the riding gear was a bit more accessible here in Aus.
Here we are... Rivale or Vinci thats my big question. Wanna be fit on head not like a mushroom :)) Thats why I am checking few videos to see how looks like on cyclist head. Thumbs up for video!
Personally I far prefer the Rivale.
@@Petemight Met Rivale Mips came today from Italy. M size (56 58cm) and fits perfect on my head. I have around 57.2 57.3 depends how long hair I have 🤣😂 Is super light helmet - Highly recomand
@@velomaniaromania sounds great! How much does the Mips version weigh?
@@Petemight 250 grams for M size..but feels much lighter
@@velomaniaromania sounds good!
I take a 24cm Tefal pan with me on long hikes. It is the single greatest non-stick cooking surface I've ever used in the wilderness and cooks SO much better than anything in the designated camping equipment arena. Everyone who sees me cook with this thing is always mega jealous of the fact I can clean it with a single tiny piece of tissue/towel..
Good review nice to see im not the only one concerned about the restricted vision , what size is your head by the way ,cheers kel
Odd that video image is reverse and contrast is very flat.
Hi Pete - really like the Crux but can't you store it in the concave recess in the bottom of a 230g canister using the neoprene gadget that (I thought) comes with it? Mike
Hi Pete - interesting option. Another one we've found to cater for the fact that's there's two of us who are both low carb eaters so no boil in the bag meals or rice pasta noodles etc which means frying largely is to use 2 lightweight ie thin non-stick cake baking tins. They're very light and cheap. Fit one inside the other and double as plates and if you bend the rim a bit you can use a std Trangia type gripper handle which we also use on out Optimus 1.2L pot that we make drinks in. Cheers Mike
That's an interesting and economical idea Mike! They're generally thin steel aren't they? How does one of those compare weight-wise to a Trianga fry pan?
@@Petemight - well our two are slightly different sizes so they nest one inside the other. The larger one is 135g, 18.5 cm diameter cooking surface and 23 cm overall diameter. The smaller one is 125g, 18.5 cm and 22cm. They're both 4 cm deep. According to the internet the Trangia FP is 295g so our set up is economic in terms of weight as well as cost. Our stove is the Trangia Triangle plus burner so 200ish grams plus a homemade windshield made of 3 beers cans which is about 30 grams. We did try a Speedster stove meths burner but it didn't have a long enough burn time to cook two meals plus a bit drink but it was very light is writing 20g.
Pete - correction re the Trangia FP weight. I was looking at the weight of a fixed handle Trangia pan rather than a standard one. I weighed our 25 series aluminium one and it's 225g. We have a full 25 set inc kettle, cutting board and gas burner which we used to use for car and motorcycle camping but downsized to the Triangle when we started backpacking and reverted to meths because it's quieter, doesn't use fossil fuel and no gas canisters for landfill - I'm feeling very virtuous!😂
@@mikedowning4603 That's brilliant! Two really sturdy, strong, cheap pan/plates for about the same weight as one flimsier, more expensive branded pan. Result! I must confess I am like the idea of avoiding the potential landfill of gas canisters. I assume they'll be recycled along with other steel cans, but avoiding them altogether is of course superior... I've always thought a meths burner would be too slow for me, but I haven't actually tried one since I was in my teens. I should pick one up and give it a go maybe?
@@Petemight good plan! They are slower than gas but potentially better in very low temperatures particularly if you keep the meths warm and add the Trangia winter kit or cheaper option I've seen is roll a small piece of loo roll into a wick and light that which warms the meths. The Triangle is a pretty good pot stand and windshield (up to a point) but I'm thinking of getting a Honey Stove from Backpackinglight.co.uk which are local to us. It's main use is a 6 sided wood stove but it takes meths and sold fuel but you can use it with just 4 sides to reduce weight if you're solo camping. Folds flat into pouch and comes in s/steelnot titanium.
Does the Aldi one bounce when you run?
Thanks for the review will be getting one
Ciao, vorrei acquistare questo casco. Ho una circonferenza 58 cm. consiglio Medium oppure Large ?
L
nice helmet i like it
How is the sizing on this? Meaning does it run somewhat small, large or exactly as measured.
This is a downgrade from the previous mojito..looks a kids helmet..
Great review, I personally think it looks great
How do you like this compared to the MET Rivale you recently reviewed?
I think I prefer the Rivale, although it's not quite as sturdily built, both the liner pads and the polycarbonate shell, if it was for everyday commuter use for example. I do think the Mojito 3 seems a little overpriced too. To further complicate matters I see there is a new Rivale model just released with MIPS that's worth checking out!
Looks good on you! might be something for me..
