One size fits most

On: 2008-06-16

I needed a helmet after mine cracked from an impact so I chose this model. However, my former 2006 Bell Furio fit me well and was offered in 3 size ranges (and cost more). This helmet somehow manages to align a hard spot toward the back with my skull. It seems to be the shaping, and the old helmet had the hard shell ever so slightly spaced from my head. I used the pads supplied with the Giro Transfer to help avoid this contact and adjusted as much as possible, but if the padding of my hair thins any more things could get uncomfortable. Best to try on before buying. The design brings the front pretty low on the brow, which takes getting used to as well.

Nice Helmet

This helmet is stylish and sporty. It is easy to fit and adjust to the head. The price is good and it affords the same protection as the expensive ones. I would highly recommend it.

Great for Big Heads

I was worried that this helmet might not fit properly due to my extra large hat size. I was very pleased that it fit perfectly with only the slightest adjustment, which was very easy to make. Looks very cool as well. An excellent purchase. Quick delivery from 3rd party seller.

Way too small for an average adult!

On: 2008-03-29

I ordered this helmet because the price was great, I liked the Red, White & Blue colors and free shipping! It arrived fine, but when I took this universal fit adult helmet out of the box it sat on the top of my head and there was no way it was going to fit. Even if I took everything out of the helmet it was way too small. It looked like a childs helmet. Thinking that perhaps my head was bigger than average I asked my very normal sized wife to try it on. It was too small for her too. So, Im thinking that a childs helmet was packaged incorrectly in an adult box. Anyway, maybe universal fit is not the way to go. I returned it the next day and Ill look for helmets marked S,M,L.

Giro Bike Helmet

I purchased this for a birthday gift for my son. Hes happy, so that makes me happy.

for racing wooden soap box cars

On: 2008-02-19

I use this Helmet for racing wooden soap box cars down steep inclines. Recently I had a wreck and it really worked, although a nail on a long piece of wood pierced my forehead. The Giro Transfer Sport Bike Helmet is a good buy.

Excellent helmet for $20.

I really like the adjustable fitting knob; it is easily accessible and helps a snug fit. Only complaint is that the helmet is a bit wedge-shaped laterally in the rear; it is probably good for the aero-dynamics, but it makes it hard to put on a helmet light. Overall, I am very satisfied; its a great product for the price.

Great first helmet

I usually dont like wearing helmets when I ride my bike but considering the risks, Ive changed my tune and now think that its wise to do so.

Having said that, I found this helmet at Dicks but thought that I can get a better deal at Amazon which I did. Great delivery etc. and the helmet fits well and has a nice neutral look to it.

on the fence? Buy it, youre not going to be sorry.

Great entry-level helmet

Great looking helmet, you dont need to blow hundreds to look like you belong. Why spend that much on something thats meant to break? Very easy to adjust and very comfortable. A great affordable entry level helmet.

Great Buy

What a great price for a helmet, they are required where I live, and they make me feel safer, and there are no frills to this one. Yes, I do not look cool wearing a helmet but at least I didnt spend $60 because I was insecure about it!!! I think the helmet is designed for a normal sized to larger sized male head, based on how well it fit mine. I hope I never have to find out how good this helmet really is, but it gets good safety reviews if you search it on google. Bell helmets also get good reviews, but are more expensive and "designer."

Helmet-No Death

On: 2007-05-12

I wore the helmet during the recent 39-mile Bike NY Tour. I didnt fall, and consequently, I didnt get to see if the helmet would prevent my death. But, knowing I was protected, I rode faster than I ever have and was whizzing down the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at a brisk 24 mph to wrap up the race. If I do fall, I will get back to you and let you know how it worked to save my head. Of course, should it fail, I will not be able to write a further review.

A good buy

A comfy and economical helmet that fits surprisingly well. Only flaw Id say is the weird angle of the side straps. Nevertheless, a great deal for a sub-$30 helmet.

excellent helmet

On: 2006-12-12

This is a very comfortable helmet with a nice fit. Most of the helmets youll find in this price range dont fit well. Believe me, Ive tried a number of them. But this one fits me great. My wife has the same model and it fits her well too, thanks to the dial-fit system.

One small piece of advice: It has a more rounded appearance from the front than most bike helmets do. So if you dont like the thought of a "round" look when someones looking at you straight on, this might not be the helmet for you.

Great fit, great price

I really like this helmet. Its from a name brand company who has made many contributions to the innovation of bicycling helmets. It fits well - it has the "dial" fit system (every helmet company has their own name for it). Its easy to adjust, comfortable, comes with extra padding (I guess in case your head doesnt fit perfectly). Its one size fits all.

It didnt come with a visor and I do not see an option for one. I guess just get some sunglasses. The helmet is very compact and very light. Amazing value.
