I'm on my 3rd Giro Fixture helmet now, its saved my head & life twice. The worst crash I had was when I was thrown over my bars and my head was slammed, at speed into a deer cattle grip. The right side of my temple was smashed against the steel bars of the cattle grid, If I had not been wearing my helmet I would have been dead, of that I'm certain, the helmet cracked and did its job. Considering the cost its a no-brainer (excuse the pun) PLUS I have a huge head & Giro do this model in XL, so its one of the few helmets that fits my oversized skull. I can wear a beanie under neith and have room for my sunglasses. I prefer a helmet that protects all of your head, including the back and the temple regions. Road helmets do not offer enough protection. Plus this helmet is a MIPS.
Wow, I really like my Giro. I'm glad everything worked out okay for you. Everything you said just shows the importance of a good well fitting helmet. Safe riding 🚴♂️🚴♂️
Bought one it arrived but I keep thinking that there is to much space between my head and the actual helmet (specially in the back), is it normal ? My head has 57 cm, the helmet is from 54 to 61. Maybe it's a bit to big for me.

I have a big head. This helmet fits great I wear a xl/xxl flexfit
Great news!!!🚴🚴
I have a fat head myself and this looks to be what I need. How long are the straps? I'm worried they won't be long enough.
Looks good on ya I just ordered one
A good helmet. I'm actually trying out a Smith helmet later today.🚴🚴
Does it bother you that the Y-straps over the ears are not externally adjustable fore and aft?
It never noticed the straps being a problem. I wore the helmet today.

The MIPS is what adds the extra space. It's tested to a higher impact requirement.
Dude, if that falls off your saddle and hits the floor, you'll need to buy a new one.
You are exactly right! 🚴♂️🚴♂️
