from Borneo Date Reviewed: March 4, 2002 Strengths: Whoaaahhhh!!!! Nice looks, nice ventilation design, the most unique helmet ever built by GIRO cuz it has MX design. It has thick layer to protect our head from gettting hospital bill for head injury. The visor position was well attached and does not block the view. Weaknesses: I hate to stick back the pads! the glue spoils the day! wasting my time sticking the pad and Roc-loc strap even when I'm still riding on my bike thats horrible! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: W.G cycle Similar Products Used: Bell Nemesis Pro, Giro Terrero, E2. Bike Setup: Specialised FSR Comp, RS JUDY Race, XT mix XTR, XT Disc, Mavic's.

from Connecticut Date Reviewed: August 15, 2001 Strengths: This is a 2000 model and was discounted from $100 to $75. Great fit! Tried on the $40 Giro Gila first in SM/MED and it was loose fitting. This Hammerhead in SM/MED fit perfectly w/o extra pads. So, make sure you try more than one style on. Good construction. Adjustability of the ROC LOC 2 system is great. The removable visor is a nice feature. Hope is stays in place. Like the looks of this helmet, not overly big, nice ivory color. It's so light in weight and vented so well I hardly know its on!!! I'm use to off-road full-face motocross helmets and on-road motorcycle helmets that weigh A LOT more and have almost no ventilation. This is a "cool feather" by comparison. Weaknesses: Cost, was planning on spending only $40. Seems visor might get pulled loose/off by branches. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: -none- Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $75.00 Purchased At: D'Aniello's Amity Cycle 203-387-6734 Similar Products Used: Compared fit to Giro Gila. Bike Setup: Iron Horse ATB 20 (First non-motorized bike in 30 years! Entry level, bought used)

from iowa city Date Reviewed: July 19, 2001 Strengths: Fits great. Durable off the bike and on. Roc Loc holds the helmet in place better than other brands I've used. Super cool and ventilating. I can ride hard for 20 miles in 80 degree temps, take the helmet off and my hair is still dry on top. I haven't had the problem with the visor coming off that others have reported. Can be used with or without the visor. The visor also adjusts up and down. Weaknesses: Kind of expensive, although the Hammerhead is now discontinued so you might be able to get it cheap online or in the bargain bid of your local store. Inside pads come loose (true for most helmets I've known) but can be reattached using a glue gun. The squared-off looking back shape is a little different than the normal pointy back design. Some people might not like this. Makes no difference to me. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $90.00 Similar Products Used: Three different models of Bell Image, dating back to 1989. Bike Setup: road, commuter, mountain

from st louis, kirksville MO Date Reviewed: April 18, 2001 Strengths: Excellent ventilation (i can feel the air blowing through!), the visor is removable, Roc Loc, looks cool i guess, covers more of my head than my last helmet did Weaknesses: the straps are extremely susceptible to velcro, meaning that if they keep brushing up against it, they fray easily; sits kinda high Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Chubb in st louis Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Touring Cyclist in st louis Similar Products Used: Giro Ricochet, Airblast Bike Setup: Trek 7000 w/Mars C, Rolf Satellites, M545s

from Warrenton VA Date Reviewed: December 5, 2000 Strengths: For inline skating one of the best. Light weight, excellent ventilation, very comfortable. If you are an inline skater looking for a super helmet to protect your brains, and if you can find it discounted, buy it. For retail, see if Giro has fixed their visor and pad sticking problem yet. Weaknesses: Like others, had a problem with the visor not staying in place, and the pads inside the helmet. Fixed with a hot glue gun. If I had paid full retail, they would have gotten it back in a heart beat. But, I bought the last years model on a closeout so I really can't complain. Its fixed and works fine now. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: W&OD in DC Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: Performance Bikes Similar Products Used: Various Bell models Bike Setup: Don't ride.

from San Francisco, CA Date Reviewed: October 1, 2000 Strengths: The helmet looks good and fits well. The Roc Loc system has been working well for me, and haven't had any of the common complaints of loosening, or the visor not sticking. Very light and strong....banged it around a few times on rocks and only a scratch....my head is fine! Weaknesses: It sits a little high....I'd like it lower on my head more like a baseball hat.
