Pros Looks - I got the camo version
Protection - already smacked my head against a few things!
Well ventilated
Comfortable
Cons One of the clips that attaches the webbing to the helmet constantly pops out. Tried silicone caulk but that worked for just a day. Gonna super glue it in.
Got to "Test" this helmet out yesterday by wiping out off a feature and bouncing my head off a tree. Came out with scraps all over my arm and shoulder but my head came out untouched. Well worth the $$ for saving a trip to the Dr. on my second ride. I'm sure being a nub that I will but this thing though its paces.
Nice helmet. Cinches down tight with a twist of the dial. But there's more volume to it and the straps seem off a little compared to the many other Giro helmets I've had.
I find it's more comfortable with a headliner.
great fit, very good ventilation. dont even notice im wearing the helmet during my ride. best part is the lower cranium protection, a must have for MTBers! a little pricey, but protecting ur head is worth it!
Very similar in feel to my Xen also from Giro. When using the Xar I find that it is a good combination between good fit, solid construction and good protection. I really liked the amount of coverage that the helmet gives you. Venting is good and keeps air circulation at maximum even when traveling slow.
Pros Light weight for a trail - AM helmet. You fit in the helmet rather than have it a top your head. Rocklock 5 works great
Cons the knob to adjust is a bit on the small side and could use a bit more texture on it to make adjustments easier with gloves on.
Recommend.

Worth every penny, don't think about it, just get it.
Pros
Lightweight, super cool at all speeds, most comfortable helmet I've worn.

Great helmet, cool even while going slow and still offers great protection. The Rocklock 5 system is great and easy to use.
Pros
Lightweight, easy to adjust, lots of vents, and the coverage is great.
Cons
| ThankLike the previous review the adjustment knob is a little small and could use some texturing to ease use while gloved.
