Giro Prolight Bike Helmet Reviews
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful  problems with fit, By This review is from: Giro Prolight Bike Helmet (Sports) This is my second Giro helmet - I also have an atmos that I wear regularly.First off, the helmet is crazy light. If you're into saving weight, then this is the helmet for you. It literally feels like nothing on your head after a little while. In the month that I've had this helmet, I was never able to get it to fit correctly. The retention system (or lack of) does not let you adjust the tightness so there ends up being two pressure points around your temple. I found that cutting the padding near your temple, and leaving only the ones in the front of the helmet, helps with this issue. Also, when I tried the helmet at the store, even though I have a 22" head, a recommended "medium" size helmet was way too tight. A large was also fairly tight, but much more bearable. The helmet buckle does feel cheap, but I'm guessing it is that way to save weight. But even that is forgivable. I really wished there was a way to adjust the rear elastic "giro" band that...

The one I had on the last less expensive giro helmet was much better. Yes, this one is light, but there are virtually no micro adjustments for strap.It either fits TOO Tight, or TOO LOOSE. I assume TOO Tight is better, but it often borders on ice cream headache when warm out.It doesn't give me much confidence even when this tight. I should have purchased the well proven and just as expensive Ionis.I didn't research the strap enough to know what I wasn't getting in the Giro Prolight. Don't make the same error i did. If you're a serious rider, or racer, I would worry about going down in this helmet. The strap would fail. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  It's great!, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Giro Prolight Bike Helmet (Sports) The helmet performs exactly as described. It's extremely lightweight. Perfect for people who like myself, don't really want to wear a helmet in the first place. The many vents allow great airflow. And I can usually scratch my head without having to take the helmet off. |

The Prolight Bike Helmet from Giro is designed and built to provide the lightest weight head protection available to bikers. This race-optimized helmet utilizes lightweight technologies and materials--top-to-bottom--from the 100 percent in-molded construction to the featherweight, Italian-made webbing straps. In order to provide the impact protection that fast, road racing requires, the Prolight is constructed with upper and lower in-mold hardbodies for a full coverage shell. Meanwhile, Giro's signature Wind Tunnel Ventilation with 25 vents allows cool air in, while forcing the warm air out, to provide the ventilation that bikers need to stay comfortable. Finally, thanks to a combination of Super Fit Engineering and the Roc Loc SL self-adjusting ultra-light fit system, the Prolight provides a custom-fit for just about any one.
Key Features:
- In-Mold Construction: fuses a polycarbonate outer shell with the helmet's impact-absorbing EPS foam liner--making the liner literally a part of the helmet. This process reinforces areas around vents and ribs, creating a one-piece exoskeleton that makes the helmet lighter, more durable, and better ventilated.
- Wind Tunnel Ventilation: Giro's proprietary Wind Tunnel ventilation system combines active vents with internal exhaust channels designed to thrust cool, fresh air over and around the rider's head, while forcing heat and stale air out.
- Roc Loc SL Fit System: Roc Loc SL self-adjusts to provide a secure fit with one quick adjustment of the webbing system. The webbing system is created with supple and lightweight, Italian-made webbing material.
- Super Fit Engineering: Giro's proprietary three-size Super Fit system is based on human scale factors data collected in Giro's 20 years of helmet crafting. The resulting Super Fit helmets are designed to provide a custom-feel fit for 98 percent of the world's population.
- X-Static Padding: X-Static pads provide comfort and anti-microbial properties to help keep the helmet fresher for longer. The pads are also machine washable.
