Giro Phase Reviews
Description: (
from giro.com)
The Giro Phase helmet is compact, cool and durable enough to handle even the most daunting climbs and rock-strewn ribbons of singletrack. It's also a super value in a low-profile helmet.
* Acu Dialâ„¢ suspension offers an easy-to-adjust and supremely stable fit right out of the box
* Highly tuned, 27-vent design provides superior cooling
*
Detachable visor provides added protection from sun, rain and the occasional branch
* In-mold construction and internal reinforcement make this helmet tough

Pros
Very comfortable fit for longer days in the saddle
Visor easy to remove
Aggressive looks
Cons
Retention systems is a hassle to use when trying to adjust on the fly
Review
Overall the Giro Phase helmet provides superior fit and cooling efficiency for a helmet in the 70 dollar price range. With aggressive looks the phase is definitely a looker on the trail, comparable to the 130 dollar XAR helmet. The only real negative trait of this helmet is that the retention system could definitely use some adjustment. its nearly impossible to adjust with one hand as most of the time you'll just end up loosening it all the way out as opposed to tightening it, which most people are trying to do.
Overall the phase is a great buy, just make sure you save the fine tuning and adjustment for at the car or while taking a break off the trail.
Pros
Light weight, comfortably with long wear
Cons
Nothing
Review
This is a good helmet at an affordable price. It is stylish enough and comfortable. Without alot of money.

Pros
light, not much to break, visor works the way it should The visor is easy to remove for those non visor days.
Cons
padding, removes sometimes. the only way it is held on to you head is by the back clamp strap. instead of a full head clamp. its hard to tighten on your head and get a snug tight.
Review
All in all it was a great helmet for the cost. the colors work great for me, I enjoy the visor and its light. I do wish I played around with it more in the store. I have trouble with the back screw clamp which tightens the helmet to your head. In reality if i would fall with this helmet i think it would do the trick so it was a good purchase.

Pros
Lightweight, and I like that it isn't pointy in the back. Cosmetically just don't like it pointy.
Cons
I feel the straps could be designed better, but once I have it on, I forget about it, so I guess it works
Review
This is my first helmet, and I like it. Although I don't have much to compare too in that case, I would recommend it to others.
