from Tallahassee, FL, USA Date Reviewed: January 30, 2007 Strengths: Looks great, great airflow, shell and paint holds up nice to wear and tear Weaknesses: Mine BROKE YESTERDAY!!! The rubber strap from the "best in the world" Rock lock 4 design where it contours around the left side of your head to the back adjuster, WELL BOTH RUBBER strap that holds the helmet snug to your head broke while in my backpack. (i dont leave this helmet on my bike while in class) I think that putting the helmet in my backback for barely 1 semester bent the rubber with steel strap inside of it so many times that it finally snapped. I am going to contact Giro for a possible new rock lock 4 plastics system....Other than that the helmet has been great. I have not had to use it yet:) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Redbug Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Online somewhere Similar Products Used: Bell $30 helmets Bike Setup: Raleigh M80 Hardtail
