Giro Phase Helmet

(discontinued)

The Giro Phase is a backup helmet for our house. I have a more enduro-esque helmet that is my primary lid - which cost nearly three times the sale price of this helmet. Keeping that in perspective... this Giro Phase is one fantastic helmet for the price! It is extremely well ventilated with 27 vents in all the right positions. My head can actually feel cold from the evaporative effect on downhill sections. The Roc-loc 5 retention works great and the helmet seems to properly fit most head shapes. This is actually a low profile fitting design and it sits lower on your head than other designs. People like this look because it look more like a normal hat. If you have a huge forehead or freakishly large head, this is probably not the right lid to choose. All the other people in the audience at the circus will be fine with the fit. Seriously though, fit is very personal so always try on many helmets to find one that mates with your particular noggin. The style of any helmet could effect it's overall protection too so big and bulky isn't always bad either. One detail that is lacking is the visor does not have any adjustability. It is in a fixed position. The good news is that is well positioned, but it would be nice if it had a few degrees of tilt. Several people have used this helmet with universally good results. People love the pretty blue color and those matching straps. It is a single color without any racing stripes or decals with acronyms which is a refreshingly clean look.
