Strengths: Great fit; looks good; excellent value.Weaknesses: None that I know of.Bottom Line: Fits me very well, so I bought a second for my 9 yo son and his fits him very well also. Gotta love the universal fit. Helmet looks very good. Visor works fine. Ventilation is good but not great. I suppose if I wanted the lightest airiest helmet on the market I could pay $100 but why waste the cash. Not the lightest, the best looking or the best ventilated but you get a great all around helmet for the price. Would recommend to anyone who asks.

Strengths: Price, Comfort, Weight, Ventilation, FitWeaknesses: Not much to say. Visor allows sunspots through.Bottom Line: Great helmet for the price. I bought a Bell Adrenaline for $20, and had it melt in my car after sitting in only 75F weather. This Giro, with the in-mold technology bonding the foam to the shell, hasn't deformed a bit, even after sitting in my car in much warmer temperatures.
It's comfortable, especially if you take advantage of the extra pads included. I found I needed a bit of extra support just behind my temples.

Strengths: Its light, very adjustable, it fits a hat and earphones, and i dont even notice in wearing it, i can feel the aerodynamics working when going over 50km/hWeaknesses: its sometimes a bit tight on the jaw, the visor doesnt workBottom Line: if your thinking on doing extreme DH biking like whistler this isnt the thing your looking for, this is more for in the city, its great for in the city i feel safe doing 4 foot jumps onto gravel. more then that this isnt the thing.

Strengths: Comfy, (hardly know it's up there, light enough for the price and it has good airflow. Plus, it doesn't move around on my head like the 'old' Bell I've been using.Weaknesses: I haven't really found any issues with this helmet. It definitely fits better than my Bell but I think I may need to add some padding for best fit.Bottom Line: The Giro suspension system works good. It has decent airflow for the dollar range so for me this helmet is a good value. If your'e looking for a $40 brain bucket, this would be a good choice.

Strengths: Lightweight. Doesn't get too hot. Room to pull ponytail through in back.Weaknesses: Really makes a disaster out of my bangs, but don't all helmets do that?!Bottom Line: A great value for the price. It's comfortable, too. It comes in several colors, but I couldn't match the same color blue as my bike, so I selected go-with-everything black.
