Product Description

Product Description

The Giro Monza Road Bike Helmet is constructed with in-mold technology that fuses a tough outer microshell to the helmet's EPS foam liner. The fusion process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, making the helmet lighter, cooler and tougher. The Monza utilizes Giro's Roc Loc 4 system, which includes adjustments for fit tensioning and helmet positioning, plus a supple rubber over-molded fit belt for both comfort and stability. This Giro helmet features wind-tunnel ventilation that combines 24 active vents with internal exhaust channels that force cool, fresh air over and around your head while forcing stale, warm air out.

The Monza road helmet comes in three Super Fit sizes, which combine human scale factor data with handcrafted headforms and rider feedback for ultimate comfort. Giro's Monza helmet is a lightweight 265 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets.

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 musch anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great helmet, bad pad orientation, November 1, 2006

By 

Arise Therefore (Orange, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This is a good helmet for the money. It fits my head like a glove (well, like a hat, really). I found it helpful to know that Giro helmets generally fit people with a more round head around the hat band, whereas Bell helmets are better for folks with a more oval shaped head.

One issue that will keep me from buying another one is the pads. They are oriented longitudinally so that sweat runs down from the top of the head and is channeled to drip right into my eyes. The Limar helmet I had before this one avoided this by putting a front pad across the forehead laterally with its low points depositing the sweat outside of the eye area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monza helmet worked great when it needed to, September 1, 2007

I had my Monza only 2 months when I was hit by a car while inline skating. It was the most comfortable helmet I've ever owned. The helmet stayed on and saved me from any head injury. I'm ordering a new one today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well ventilated and easy to adjust, an excellent helmet!, December 11, 2007

This review is from: Giro Monza Bike Helmet (Sports)

I bought this helmet because I wasn't satisfied with the ventilation on the helmet I had. This helmet ventilates extremely well and is very light and comfortable. It feels more like wearing a hat than a helmet. I highly recommend it.

The adjustability is very nice, and never pinches or creates pressure points. The pads are holding up fine after several months now, and I ride to work pretty much every day. I haven't had the problem with sweat that others have mentioned, I might recommend that they invest in a headband.
