from Santiago, Chile Date Reviewed: March 7, 2012 Strengths: Really nice look (I am a high-end helmet), great air intakes, adjustable visor is a really cool feature, too. Weaknesses: Roc Loc 5 or whatever it is called, PLEASE GIRO DOUBLE CHECK REAR ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM FOR FUTURE HELMETS. It tends to release itself when I move my head slightly abrupt in any direction, sometimes I just press it in but sometimes have to stop 4-5 times an hour to re-adjust. The fit doesn't feel as comfy as in previous helmets Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Condor Backcountry Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: Ive used Met Kaos, Met Kaos Ultimate, Fox Flux and even my oldie but goldie Prowell F50 Bike Setup: Banshee Paradox V2

from Adelaide, SA, Australia Date Reviewed: November 3, 2009 Strengths: Most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. After 5 minutes riding I forget it's even on my head. Stays horizontal (other helmets tip forward with the visor obscuring vision). Lightweight and reasonably cool. Got a great deal on an '08 model. Mine is the 'Fabric G' which really stands out from the masses and their camo helmets. Weaknesses: Because there are only 3 sizes, fitting can be a bit tricky. I am right in the middle of M & L (59cm). Tried an L first, looked like a mushroom head. M is perfect with the adjustment system all the way open.
