Product Description
The Giro Transfer Sport 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 Transfer utilizes Giro's Acu Dial system, which combines single-handed adjustment with a full-fit band for a quick, sure fit. This Giro helmet features a snap-fit visor, and 20 vents that allow cool, fresh air in and stale, warm air out. The Transfer sport helmet comes in Giro's Universal Fit Adult U size (54-61cm), carefully sculpted and size-specific to simplify the fitting process. Giro's Transfer helmet is a lightweight 255 grams, and complies with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's safety standards for bicycle helmets. Helmet Tips--You Should Always... - Wear a helmet when you ride
- Wear your helmet low in the front to protect the forehead

- Check your adjustments every time you wear your helmet
- Inspect your helmet regularly for signs of wear or damage
- Wear a helmet designed for your activity
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.

 excellent helmet December 12, 2006

This is a very comfortable helmet with a nice fit. Most of the helmets you'll find in this price range don't fit well. Believe me, I've tried a number of them. But this one fits me great. My wife has the same model and it fits her well too, thanks to the dial-fit system.
One small piece of advice: It has a more rounded appearance from the front than most bike helmets do. So if you don't like the thought of a "round" look when someone's looking at you straight on, this might not be the helmet for you.
Great fit, great price November 10, 2006

I really like this helmet. It's from a name brand company who has made many contributions to the innovation of bicycling helmets. It fits well - it has the "dial" fit system (every helmet company has their own name for it). It's easy to adjust, comfortable, comes with extra padding (I guess in case your head doesn't fit perfectly). It's one size fits all.
It didn't come with a visor and I do not see an option for one. I guess just get some sunglasses. The helmet is very compact and very light. Amazing value.
Helmet-No Death May 12, 2007

I wore the helmet during the recent 39-mile Bike NY Tour. I didn't fall, and consequently, I didn't get to see if the helmet would prevent my death. But, knowing I was protected, I rode faster than I ever have and was whizzing down the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge at a brisk 24 mph to wrap up the race. If I do fall, I will get back to you and let you know how it worked to save my head. Of course, should it fail, I will not be able to write a further review.
Excellent helmet for $20. November 21, 2007

I really like the adjustable fitting knob; it is easily accessible and helps a snug fit. Only complaint is that the helmet is a bit wedge-shaped laterally in the rear; it is probably good for the aero-dynamics, but it makes it hard to put on a helmet light. Overall, I am very satisfied; its a great product for the price.
Great first helmet October 17, 2007

I usually don't like wearing helmets when I ride my bike but considering the risks, I've changed my tune and now think that it's wise to do so.
Having said that, I found this helmet at Dick's but thought that I can get a better deal at Amazon which I did. Great delivery etc. and the helmet fits well and has a nice neutral look to it.
on the fence? Buy it, you're not going to be sorry.
