Giro Bike-Helmets Giro Transfer Helmet

I needed a bicycle helmet, since I was planning to buy a bicycle to ride around on (which I have now).Looking on Amazon, I came across the "GIRO Transfer Bike Helmet." It boasts a "Universal Fit" for all riders, and having a large head myself, I figured I would give it a shot.The package arrived on time, in a large box. The main thing in there is the helmet itself, along with instructions.Basically, I advise you to read the instructions first, since they really let you know how to properly adjust the helmet, and to make it fit correctly & comfortably onto your head.Browsing the short instruction manual, I took the time (which is very brief, to be honest) to find the words which addressed how to make the helmet fit on your head, and it all worked (hint: looking into a mirror does help).There are straps on the each side, with black plastic locks, so you can adjust the length of the straps, which wrap around your chin.At the back of the helmet, is a circular plastic dial, which also can be adjusted to balance the helmet evenly on your head. This dial is connected to the straps & the interior "cradle" of the helmet that sits on your head.This Giro product White/Silver, with Grey Stripes, and white & red lettering. It has gaps in it throughout, for ventilation, but your head never feels unprotected or exposed.All in all, I am pleased with this product so far. I have used it every single time I ride my bicycle, and I have had no problems with it slipping, coming lose, or being too tight.A great & essential safety product for all bicyclists, and at a good, affordable price.

Bought this after a wreck where I wasn't wearing a helmet. I was lucky enough to fly over handle bars to left (onto my hands and the sidewalk) rather than to the right (head first into a tree). Decided to buy my first bike helmet. Seems to be a good brand and overall looks to be a great price on the item.PROs:1) Fits great-Straps easily adjust. Has a dial in the back that you can tighten the entire setup with one hand...actually just two fingers.2) Has great air flow. I was worried about riding my bike here in FL where it's hot and humid and having something on my head acting like an insulator. It actually moves a good amount of air by your head through it's multiple vents. Do I sweat more with it? Sure, but I also feel 100% safer wearing it3) Looks great.4) Price was great too. $22 for a Giro helmet? You can hardly buy a cheapo one at Walmart for that much.CONs:1) Not really a con, but it's definitely snug. If you have a REALLY big head, this might not be for you. I wear XL size hats and this is JUST right for me. If you don't fit into XL hat, move on to another helmet.Overall, it's a great deal

Giro Transfer (Blue/White)This is my first true bicycle helmet. I had been using a Protec Classic for a few years with decent success, except it weighed too much and wasn't well ventilated for the summer. The Protec was heavy because it has an ABS plastic shell as well as EPS foam.The Giro Transfer is essentially all EPS foam with a very thin plastic shell for certain parts of the foam. It weighs 284 grams on my scale. The Specialized Evade and Prevail are in the 215 gram range, so I'd say the Giro Transfer isn't a bad deal at a fraction of the cost.The Giro Transfer is supposed to fit a certain range of head sizes, and it does this with a rotary dial adjustment band on the back similar to hard hats. My head circumference was 23 inches, so I fit into the size range and it fits perfectly fine with minor adjustments needed.I can tell that with these style of EPS foam helmets, they won't take much abuse and a single impact will most likely crack it or damage it severely.Overall: 5/5 stars, great price, excellent fit, lightweight, and comfortable.

This helmet is very easily adjustable, even while riding, through the round dial in back. Its profile on my head is slightly less than other helmets I've had, which I appreciate, because I've had some that just look plain old silly. In addition to looking good, feeling good, and adjusting easily, this thing is built tough. I've purchased two now, and I'll be ordering a third momentarily. This helmet has saved my life, without a doubt, two times now. Once I sort of just bounced off the pavement, and once I was concussed, but the Transfer did its job and protected my head. I have one hell of a headache, but all my above-the-ear parts are intact. This helmet is definitely recommended to anyone who's frequently (or not so much) at risk of getting knocked off a bike.

This is a great helmet. Light, well vented, and I love the dial in the back to adjust the helmet size. I haven't worn a helmet for a long time because the last couple I bought were so heavy and hot, but when I transitioned to more city biking this year I knew I needed something and this helmet has converted me into a full-time helmet wearer. I was a little worried when I got it because there is not a lot of padding in the helmet, but I have not found this to be a problem as it is easy to make adjustments to the sizing with the ingenious dial they put into the helmet for adjustments. So easy I can even make adjustments on the fly! I ride between 50 - 100 miles a week and this helmet is just perfect for that. Highly recommended!

Decent helmet that matches my wife's new bike. Lightweight and comfortable. Seller at Sun Cycle Warehouse we're awesome and addressed a small issue I had very quickly and far exceeded my expectations.

Are there better helmets out there than the Giro Transfer? Absolutely, but for the $19 price this is a 5 star helmet. The adjustment system works great, it looks fairly stylish, and the venting is decent. I highly recommend it for beginner or recreational cyclists or cyclists who don’t ride in hot weather. What you will get with a more expensive helmet such as the Giro Atmos is more ventilation, lighter weight, better styling, and a more customized fit. When my parents decided they wanted to start tooling around the neighborhood on their Electra Townies this is the helmet I told them to get.

自転車にヘルメットはいらないだろうと前は思っていました。法律上、車道を走る物です。特にロードレーサーなどは危なくて歩道は走りにくいです。しかしそういうことはあまり知られていませんので、車道を走ると煽られたり、幅寄せをされたり、クラクションを鳴らされることすらあります。この自転車用のヘルメットをかぶっていると車道を走っていても理解されやすくなります。帽子をやめてメットをかぶり服も普段着から自転車向きの格好にしたらそういうことなくなりました。　転倒時だけじゃなくて走行中も身を守るために必要なヘルメットですが、 価格と性能のバランスが一番良いのがコレだと思います。自転車用のヘルメットはいずれ劣化して割れたりしますので、このくらいの物がちょうど良い。自分は、GENTOSのヘッドライトを頭に取り付けたかったのでひさしが無くて取り付けやすいモデルということでコレを選びました。　後頭部のところにダイヤルが付いており、かぶった後にそれで調整して固定することが出来ます。　また推奨は出来ないのですがソニーのウォークマンのヘッドフォン一体型NWD-W250シリーズを耳にかけられます。　欠点は、やや風切り音が大きい気が。昼間は気にならないのですが夜に静かな道を走っていると風切り音が後ろからクルマが来ている音に聞こえて度々振り返ってしまいます。他のヘルメットでもそうなのかもしれませんが。　自転車用ヘルメットは汗や太陽熱の影響と、軽量化するために耐久力が低くで劣化しやすいです。高い物よりもすぐに取り替えられる手ごろな価格の物が良いと思っています。なのでこのGIROのトランスファーは最適なアイテムだと思います。

安いヘルメットをお探しの方にはかなりお勧めです。ジローのヘルメットでこの価格。しかも人気のホワイトです。品切れする前に抑えておいた方が良いと思います。サイズも一般男子には標準サイズですね。この価格帯とは思えない商品だと思います！！
