About Giro
Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

The helmet is awesome. It fit like a glove without needing adjustment, looks great and is very comfortable. The straps hold it snugly, and it doesn't shift. It is also very light.

I use this helmet as my daily ride helmet to go to work. I haven't had any issues riding in 85+ degree days, as the airflow is adequate, although it isn't quite as good as some other helmets I have worn. The helmet ships with a variety of pads you can use to adjust the size, and the xlarge fit perfectly after adjustment, which I was concerned about as my head size was in between a large and extra large. The best feature has to be the excellent head protection you get with this helmet. The entire side and back of your head is covered so you can be confident you'll be protected in any kind of accident.

It fits quite snuggly. I got the matte black and it scuffs like crazy :( I set it down and next think I know it looks like it's scratched from here to Timbuktu, but hey, it still works. The scuffs don't rub off, that's the complaint.
