This was a great helmet. It fit well and provided excellent ventilation on those 110-degree days.

Recently I was in a 109-mile event and 20 miles into the event the helmet was put to the ultimate test. I was in a fast group (25mph) and we were passing a slower group when all of the sudden, a rider shoots out of the group and collides with the rider at the head of our group (the rider in front of me). He instantly went down and I go over him, flip over the handlebars and go head first into the ground. I was picked up by an ambulance and taken to the hospital. 3 Doctors checked me out. They couldn't believe that I didn't have a concussion since my helmet had a large crack over the right ear. I wish my shoulder had faired the same as my head.

I should be back on the bike in about 10 weeks and will be buying another Giro helmet.
